Hi Roar,

I bought a second ADF module to complete my pedestal. Apparently it's not working and after reading the OC4BA manual again, I found ADF2 not supported

CHRONO-Captain*, EFIS-Captain*, MCP*, EFIS-FO*, CHRONO-FO*, FMC-Captain*, FMC-FO*,
COM1*, COM2*, NAV1*, NAV2*, ADF1*, ATC*, AUDIO1*, AUDIO2*

Is it possible you can add the ADF2 to the script or give me some info so I can try it myself?


Thanks

Best regards

The reason the ADF2 is not scripted by me, is because PMDG B737 NGX do not have 2 ADF in any configuration.
I could be wrong, but that was my reason when I did the scripting many years ago.

I'm stupid never checked this, ADF module for sale!

Hi Remco
Don't worry, the same happened to me . Instead of selling the second ADF unit and buying a third COM radio, I just copied (by script) the digits of the first ADF to the second unit. Probably nobody will discover it in your cockpit, I bet.

Hi Urs,

Thanks for the advise, this sounds like a plan to me . Can you tell me how to do this? My Sioc knowledge is poor.

Best regards

Remco

Hi Remco

Of course I can join the code I have written. But you need some SOIC knowledge to adapt it to your own SW. Moreover the ADF from PMDG is a little bit different from standard radios, because the dial knobs change the active display instead of the standby display (error of PMDG). But they are interchangeable by the TFR button as normal. Probably Roar has a better approach now, but I did not check this any more, because my solution is sufficient for me. Device 10 is ADF1, Device 20 is ADF2

Thanks Urs,

I will give it a try and will make a new version of my current script.
Did such changes before...

Thanks again.

Best regards
