Bug or question
Posted: 26 Jun 2011, 14:25
Hello,
Thank-you for creating a great product. I am a user of FSX, HID macros 2.1.
I am setting keys / macros with FSXEvents to set COM1 and COM2 frequency settings. The setup works perfectly for COM1 (and NAV1), but not for COM2 (nor NAV2). You may recall, the frequencies are set by adjusting the portion to the left of the decimal separately from the portion to the right of the decimal. For example in choosing frequency 129.35, you first select 129 (on the left of the point), then subsequently select 35 (on the right of the point).
My macros are setup as follows:
Key A: (to select com1)
HIDMacros.FSXEvent "COM_RADIO",0
HIDMacros.FSXEvent "SELECT_1",0
Key B: (to select com2)
HIDMacros.FSXEvent "COM_RADIO",0
HIDMacros.FSXEvent "SELECT_2",0
Key 1: (to increment frequency)
PLUS (as predefined SimConnect event)
Key 2: (to decrement frequency)
MINUS (as predefined SimConnect event)
Behaviour for COM1:
Hitting A (com1) then 1(increment) or 2(decrement) sets portion to the left of the decimal point;
Hitting A a second time, then 1 or 2 sets portion to the right of decimal point - as desired;
Behaviour for COM2 - faulty:
Hitting A (com1) then 1(increment) or 2(decrement) sets portion to the left of the decimal point;
Hitting A a second time, then 1 or 2 also sets portion to the left of the decimal point;
It does not seem to be possible to set the decimal part of the frequency using this method.
A similar pattern happens for the NAV1 & NAV2 frequency settings.
NAV1 works fine, but for NAV2 I cannot set the decimal portion of the frequency
I am not sure if the problem lies with SimConnect, or maybe with my installation.
Can anyone reproduce this faulty behaviour, or are you able to set both parts of the frequency for COM2 and NAV2?
Any suggestions are very appreciated!
