Audio Control Panel anomalies

1.0.4 (Ready to Fly)

Not sure if this qualifies as a bug but definitely some weird behaviour when using the Audio Control Panel.

When I toggle the F/O PTT switch to Intercom (I/C) then the Ground Services menu appears. The Flight Interphone (FLT INT) Receiver switch is active and the MIC selector is on PA by default.
Now if I toggle and hold the PTT switch to I/C then my frames gradually decrease from a steady 30 to as low as 5 fps. If I close the Ground Services menu then the frames shoot back to 30. Any subsequent opening of the Ground Services menu, irrespective from where (side menu, ground call button on overhead panel) will once again drop my frames back to 5, or whatever the framerate was when the PTT was originally released.

Now by changing the F/O MIC selector from PA to FLT INT will have the same effect when toggling the PTT to Radio Transmit (R/T). By deselecting the FLT INT Receiver switch will allow me to toggle the PTT to R/T or I/C without displaying the Ground Services menu.

The same behaviour can be reproduced on the CAPT Audio Control Panel. It can also be reproduced from a Cold & Dark cockpit. Rebooting Gizmo will get rid of the low frames on the Ground Services menu... until your repeat the above.

Just thought I'd share this...

Thank you, Jean - this is indeed peculiar and we will follow up on it!

Thanks Jan... no rush.

One thing I forgot to mention was that as you hold the PTT and frames are dropping there is a subtle increase in what sounds like wind noise in the background. As soon as you close the Ground Service menu you can hear the "noise" disappear. Opening the Ground Services menu will again introduce this "noise".
