PIPER 140

Post by scarter »

With the Piper 140 only, no other A2A aircraft, when you open the ATC window, It is blank with on top it says the RADIO HAS FAILED. Any ideas on how to have it be like the other A2A aircraft?.The avionics switch in on. The Garmin 750 is ok.

Do you mean Piper 180 or 250? A2A only makes the Piper Cherokee 180 and the Comanche 250. Perhaps this is another developer you are mistaken for?

PIPER 180

Post by scarter »

My last topic i said for a Piper 140 but should have said a Piper 180. I'll start over.......For my A2A Piper 180, when you open the ATC screen, the screen is empty with a message that says the radio has failed. The avionic switch is on. Any ideas of why it says the radio has failed?

Did you check your circuit breakers? Are you sure you have battery power?

All the circuit breakers are in and i have battery power...the message says ATC DISABLED RADIO FAILED. I can't think of any thing else to check.

Hello scarter,

Please can you check the default failures menu in whichever host sim platform you're using. If you can give us more information on which sim you're using and whether you have an add-on GPS product installed, it'll be easier to offer targeted advice.

Thanks,
Nick

I am using P3DV4..The only GPS add on is the Garmin 750 . One more thing, the ATC menu works fine in all of the other A2A aircraft in my hanger.

Okay, thanks for the added info.

As mentioned, please can you check the default P3D failures menu: (Vehicles → Failures). You can select radios from the drop down "failure category" list when you open this screen.

Cheers,
Nick

Hopefully this will help. :)

Alternatively you can try reverting back to "no GPS" via the Shift 3 menu, check default radios are switched on, then swap back to the GTN 750.

Thanks,
Nick
