B17 Radios issue with ADF

Post by alan CXA651 »

Hi.
I have had the following issue in FSXA and was wondering if it had been fixed in the new P3D version , it can be tested in cold and dark or with the aircraft fully powered up.
If you go to page 65 of the B17 accusim manual , you will see a button marked Radio Compass Control , this button is in the (out) position by default when you spawn in the aircraft , which is the (Navigator- ADF1) selection , if you press this button in , it changes the ADF1 to the (Pilot-ADF2) selection , this button is then stuck in the (IN) position.
Now if you open the radio 2D popup (shift+6) , you will see the ADF2 (highlighted) , if you then select ADF1 in the radio 2D popup , you will see the Radio Compass Control button in the roof panel pop (out) , selecting the ADF2 in the 2D popup again , and you will see the Radio Compass Control button in the roof panel go back (IN) , so there is a fault in the VC with regards to this button , it should be press (IN) , press again for (OUT)
regards Alan. 8)

Hey Alan,

In P3Dv5 it still does the same.
