Can't conclude that PE is correctly handling Com1 and Com2.īe willing to follow a more thorough test protocol to get o the bottom of this. In some planes (the C172 for instance) I can get interior. Strobes, beacons, markers, taxi, or landing lights, there is no response. When I turn on any exterior light, there is no change in my display whatsoever. Not sure if this is a full and exhaustive test, but I didn't want to tie up the frequencies with debugging. I have Xplane 11.41 64 bit, and no planes-no default planes, no third party planes- have evidence of operable exterior lighting. Switched Com2 to a CTAF frequency as requested but was not being heard by PE ATC. Called in for radio check in PE switched between Twr, Gnd and Apr (talked to Keith, I believe) but was told that both Com1 and Com2 were coming in to the same place.

How are the panel lights controlled or toggled on/off for night flight Jump to content. Took Keith's advice and enabled item 96 in the Data Output/Shoe in Cockpit. Bought the PolyPot software and it works well with it. Bought a GoFlight P8 button panel, found it won't work or even be detected under XP11. Same thing using the Sim Innovations Com panels. Using the default XP11 radios there is no way of getting the active Xmit to switch between Com1 and Com2. I've been struggling with the Com 1/Com2 issue. So just a quick check that this issue described by Keith is resolved in xplane 11 so you dont have to do any keyboard mapping to switch box to transmit on as it seems to work fine for this quick test I did.
I didnt play with any keyboard mappings and use the fire button on the joystick to transmit and it worked just fine. (Thank you to the controller that helped me if you are reading this) yes I know the lighting model changed and Austin said this is not a priority. This was not the situation in XP 11 and yes. I just did a quick check for the first time on xplane 11 with a Seminole and I did a radio check on both box1 and box 2 with different frequences at KVNY (ground and clearance) using the airplane intercom. On at 1:53 AM, hedleyd said: BUT when sitting in the cockpit on a sunny day, as most GA VFR pilots do the panel is unusable ( way too dim and washed out ). I hadnt been using com2 in xplane with pilotedge at all so far, but as I am now about to start the i ratings I figured it was important to get this working properly. The work around described by Keith is to have a key map to switch it when using pilotedge. He mentions an issue in xplane 10 - that in if you wish to switch the box you are transmitting on using the airplane intercom buttons that does not switch correctly as it should. So I was watching the I-1 rating video that Keith did some time back (2016).
