Hello, How can I switch between COM1 and COM2 to set active one or other?

Thank you very much.

Good question. I know in the 707 you can click the top volume knob but that doesn't work here. Anyone?

I think both are active. As I have set tower on COM1 and Ground on COM2, I can hear both transmissions.

Alternatively you can edit the panel.cfg and add the default COM-Group, it should look like this:

[Window Titles]
Window00=Hauptinstrumentenbrett
Window01=GPS
Window02=Funkgruppe
...
Window08=Com2 (you can set the name as you like)


//--------------------------------------------------------
[Window08]
BACKGROUND_COLOR=2,2,2
size_mm=250,556
position=8
visible=0
ident=RADIO_STACK_PANEL

gauge00=Bendix_King_Radio!Bendix-King Radio Audio,      0, 0,  250, 50
gauge01=Bendix_King_Radio!Bendix-King Radio Nav-Comm 1, 0, 50, 250, 94
gauge02=Bendix_King_Radio!Bendix-King Radio Nav-Comm 2, 0, 144,250, 94
gauge03=Bendix_King_Radio!Bendix-King Radio ADF,      0, 237,250, 82
gauge04=Bendix_King_Radio!Bendix-King Radio DME,      0, 319,250, 82
gauge05=Bendix_King_Radio!Bendix-King Radio Xpndr,      0, 401,250, 78
gauge06=Bendix_King_Radio!Bendix-King Radio AP,      0, 479,250, 77

The Default-Coms keeps untouched, you have only set the right Window-Nr. Keep in mind that the Hotkeys (SHIFT 1-9) only works to Window08 all other panels you have to select from the menu.

Thanks, I cheated and added the GNS530.

Thank you for the trick Mustang1977 , but I have all Window busy, and don't want to loose any of the gauges.

Are there any other way to add the default gauge without overwrite existing?

[Window Titles]
Window00=Main
Window01=Simicons
Window02=Animations Control
Window03=Autopilot
Window04=Radio Stack
Window05=GPS
Window06=Carousel IV-A INS
Window07=CS Weather Radar
Window08=Navigation Map
Window09=Take Off Data Card
Window10=Crew Messenger

Hey hello,

Of course, simply add it to the end after the crew messenger.

[Window Titles]
Window00=Main
.
.
Window10=Crew Messenger
Window11=Com2


//--------------------------------------------------------
[Window11]
BACKGROUND_COLOR=2,2,2
size_mm=250,556
position=8
.
.
.

As is I said, the Hotkeys are only working to Window08, all other 2D Panels above you have to activate via menu.

A possible solution would be if you move the Standard Radio Stack to the end (Window11) and the default Com to Window04. Nothing would be overwritten with this step  Smiley
