Aircraft Compatibiilty¶
As XSquawkBox 2.x implements a significantly more extensive radio model, we’ve discovered there are some compatibility issues with some aircraft.
Where it’s indicated that the Tx Select control is inoperative or not rigged,
you can use the .tx command to manually set the selected radio for
Transmission.
Where it’s indicated that the Rx Enable controls are inoperative or not rigged,
you can use the .rx command to manually enable or disable radios for
listening.
More specific notes will be left where there is aberant or complex unexpected behaviour.
X-Plane Stock Aircraft¶
Stock, as in, came with X-Plane.
X-Plane 10¶
In general, X-Plane 10 stock aircraft have fairly poor radio rigging.
You will need to make use of the .tx and .rx commands to operate their
radios comfortably.
X-Plane 11¶
This information was correct for X-Plane 11.41
This information only covers issues with Tx/Rx selection controls as we weren’t assessing any other issues at the time.
