Classic British Flight Sim

Hi,
first of all I'd like to say how much I like your panels, they are a joy to use (I have the HS.748, the HS780 and Mike Stone's Fokker 27) but I have a problem:
I use the two panels you created for the fokker 27 and have the same problem with both of them: I can't change the nav and comm frequencies (the comm frequency only change when I use the atc window), on the other hand I can change the adf frequencies...
I hope I've been clear enough,
cheers,

Stéph.

PS: I've read the manual and applied all the mods you recommend.

Hi Steph and welcome

It's been a darned long time since I flew Frasers F27 panel so I can't recall exactly what the setup is there. I've just had a look for it and can't find it! :doho:

The problem you're describing is generally caused by the radio entry in the aircraft.cfg. Here's one as an example off the DC3

[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=0
Marker.1=1

If the second character in each line reads 1, this shows the radio has a standby frequency (eg.. you can select active and standby from the one radio). I might be wrong but I don't think the radios on the F27 had a standby capability. Have a look in your aircraft.cfg at the radio section and make sure Com.1=1, 0.. Com.2=1, 0.. Nav.1=1, 0, 1.. Nav.2=1, 0, 0. If the setup is as I expect it is, you should now be able to select radio and nav freqs on the radio

Hi Steph,

Might I suggest you download the CBFS VA pack for the F27 from here. This has the most up to date panels etc. I've just hopped into FS9 and both Navs and Comms are tuneable no problem.

Regards

John

Many thanks for your replies!
I will first give a try at Dave's idea and will then have a look at the VA fokker (btw never heard about this one before...).
See you,

Stéph.

Hi Steph

I suggest you got for the VA version as that is the most up to date and the one currently supposrted

Garry

You were right Dave, this was a standby frequency issue...
I have switched to the VA version which is a joy to fly! :flying:
Many thanks again for your very fast support, this is a very effective forum you have,
cheers,

Stéph.

Hi Steph

Glad that worked for you and that you're enjoying the VA pack

Hi,
I would like to share with the happy users of this plane a nice repaint done by Henry William and available at flightsim.com (it's not an english one but I think it suits this model very well) : file is boaf272.zip from the former american company Bonanza airline.
See you,

Stéph.
