MD 80 Series in FSX

[Falcon]

I loaded the MD-81 in FSX, and everyone is correct, the panel will not work in FSX as the gauges are to old. However I have a MD 80 series panel that works excellent in other MD 80 series models, ie SGA etc. I applied that panel to the HJG MD-81_V1.1 and it shows and works except the Nav radio's will not change frequency. I can change frequency on all the com radios, adf, & transponder, but not the Nav 1 & 2. I even loaded it into a DC-9 and it loads and works. Any suggestions would be most helpfull. I love the new MD-80 series.

Not to worry bud, most likely staff members are already working on this but I wouldn't know anything about it and even if I did, I couldn't say so anyways.

Unfortunately we can't provide support for that, or any other file, not currently represented by us .... simply for lack of knowing or responsibility for engineering it, but, if everything is working fine with the exception of the NAV1/2 RADIOS .... then I suspect the FSX fix for that panel, being used with our aircraft, might be as simple as just changing the "Radios data" within the AIRCRAFT.CFG file for each of our aircraft .... to give those panel Radios the much needed kick in the guts in order for them to be able to work with that panel in FS .... BUT .... I am only "GUESSING".

I wouldn't have a clue to what values the NAV1/2 RADIOS data in our "FSX VERSION" CFG's (for the sake of that panel only) should be changed to read .... in order to make them work .... BUT .... you could just try exchanging our own current FSX.CFG RADIOS data for that same data from the SGA MD80 CFG .... and see if that works.

Change radios section of aircraft.cfg file to:

[Radios]
// Radio Type=availiable, standby frequency, has glide slope
Audio.1=1
Com.1=1, 1
Com.2=1, 1
Nav.1=1, 0, 1
Nav.2=1, 0, 0
Adf.1=1
Transponder.1=1
Marker.1=1

and it should work. At least it worked for me, using the FSX version of the Marco Spada panel.

Hey thanks ecosse821, I'll try the cfg change. It should work as I'm using the same Marco Spada panel. Had the same problem in another application with the King Air radio gau. but I can't remember how I fixed it. Thanks again. Really appreciate it.
