Mark....regarding the radio section in the aircraft cfg all of Mike Stone's based F27's and FH27 are OK. However ,when I downloaded and installed the latest versions with the Fraser McKay panels I was unable to change radio frequencies. When I opened the aircraft cfg and looked at the [Radio] section all the Com and VHF were shown as =1. Once I changed them to what they should be ie. VHF1=1,0,1 the Radios functioned OK.
As far as your navigational anormality....I have had similar incidents. After creating a flight plan in FS9 and setting all navigational information on the radios and nav instrument ie.HSI, DG the aircraft was heading in a much different direction. Upon rechecking the FS flight plan I noticed that the course headings were not correct and did not match the DG and the DG was quite unstable. Even the Magnet Compas was giving an incorrect reading when compared to the course on the GPS.
What you mentioned regarding the incorrect frequencies could be the cause. I will have to check that, the next time this happens.

That's really odd Herman .... your experience with non-selectable radios I mean. Mine all work .... in that they're all selectable (in other words I can enter any frequency I desire into the COM, VOR, and ADF boxes), but, in the case of the VOR and ADF frequencies (only), I either wasn't getting any return/indication at all for the selected NAV aid .... or if I was .... then it sometimes wasn't a reliable one. I'll have a look at this .... sometime later (since I have other HJG priorities to attend to at the moment) .... because it, and your information, have got me "INTRIGUED" now  Mark C AKL/NZ |

As you know, I'm using FSX, and have had many times the above problems with Nav radios. I simply edit the a/c config as Herman mentions and it is back to work. I have had instances where the freq would change, and the vor ident was actually there, but the needle did not move. Editing the radios corrected that. I assume that it is because they were designed for FS9. Just for you guys info. Ah the dreaded GPS! I don't know what I would have done if we had them back when....  Falcon |

To better explain the Radio set up here is an example.from the original download of the F-27\FH27 featuring Fraser's panels.
With this numbering I was unable to change Nav frequencies.
[Radios]
// Radio Type=availiable, standby frequency, has glide slope
Audio.1=1
Com.1= 1
Com.2= 1
Nav.1= 1
Nav.2= 1
Adf.1=1
Adf.2=1
Transponder.1=1
Marker.1=1
Here is what it should look like.
[Radios]
// Radio Type=availiable, standby frequency, has glide slope
Audio.1=1
Com.1= 1, 0
Com.2= 1, 0
Nav.1= 1, 0, 1
Nav.2= 1, 0, 0
Adf.1=1
Adf.2=1
Transponder.1=1
Marker.1=1

Oh well....after another check it appears that both texting work on these simulations. I must have confused it with another model.
I think if you check most aircraft model Radio sections are set up as shown in the second example.

Herman, do you play the FH-227 on FS9 or FSX?

Most of the HJG simulations .... in fact most other simulatios I have also .... seem to have CFG based RADIOS data which conforms to the following values .... [Radios] Radio Type=available, standby frequency, has glide slope Audio.1=1 Com.1=1, 0 Com.2=1, 0 Nav.1=1, 0, 1 Nav.2=1, 0, 0 Adf.1=1 Adf.2=1 Transponder.1=1 Marker.1=1 Others I have seem to have RADIOS data which conforms to those values featured within each of these F27/FH227 simulations .... as follows .... [Radios] // Radio Type=available, standby frequency, has glide slope Audio.1=1 Com.1= 1 Com.2= 1 Nav.1= 1 Nav.2= 1 Adf.1=1 Adf.2=1 Transponder.1=1 Marker.1=1 BUT .... "some" of my other non-HJG simulation also have feature RADIOS/"NAV2" (only) data which reads according to the same values as the RADIOS/NAV1 data line .... as hilited below .... [Radios] Radio Type=availiable, standby frequency, has glide slope Audio.1=1 Com.1=1, 0 Com.2=1, 0 Nav.1=1, 0, 1 Nav.2=1, 0, 1Adf.1=1 Adf.2=1 Transponder.1=1 Marker.1=1 I think all roads lead to Rome .... in that either of these RADIOS configurations should work equally well. I've not tried this Herman (I'm all out of time now) .... but ..... you certainly can't do any harm by trying this yourself .... Try changing the very last digit of your RADIOS/"NAV2" data line to read "1" .... as per the last example above .... and see if that results in any positive difference at all. It may .... or may not. I'm only just beginning to get more properly acquainted with these F27/FH227 (always a learning curve with any new panel/simulation) as the result of this presentation/thread (Herman's fault ;D) .... BUT .... on the main panel of the F27 panel version, located just above the ASI, and to the right of the aircraft registration/ID placard .... there's a pair of small switches labelled "NAV1/ADF1" and "NAV2/ADF2" respectively .... enabling the VOR and ADF needles, within the HSI gauge, to be appropriately cycled between. It's probably needless to say that it would of course aid the fidelity of ones navigational indications if these 2 switches are indeed cycled the right way around Just a thought Mark C AKL/NZ |

Found a bit of time ....  YEAH .... thats's what it/my problem appears to have been. I had those 2 little NAV1/ADF1 and NAV2/ADF2 selector switches (on the main panel) around the wrong way  How bloody stupid of me Mark C AKL/NZ |

Herman, do you play the FH-227 on FS9 or FSX? I am using FS9 for the FH-227. There not too many FSX models available, as a matter of fact there are only acouple that I am aware of. One of them that is quite good, is an Air Panama F-27F. Herman |
