X-Pilot / Audio Panels

[Graeme_77]

The simulation interfaces fully with X-Pilot, but to use it you need to understand how the aircraft audio panels work. You need to choose the radios to listen to with the press in / press out volume controls (A) in the image below, and choose which radio to transmit on using the selector knob - (B) in the image.

The radios can be tuned on the MFD using Radio Adv on the CCP panel, or the TUNE page on the CDU.

Please note the audio panels are different for left and right seats, if you want them to be synchronised there is an option in the Challenger 650 men, User Settings, F/O Assists.

If you have hardware like the Honeycomb or Saitek units with avionics switches, these can affect X-Plane directly, bypassing the Challenger simulation. Please make sure to switch these switches on if you have no radios in X-Pilot.

As a side note to that, I have just worked out through having trouble with this, that if you do not use the load with engines running option when you select the aircraft, it will load in with the 'avionics master' off. You can only reset it with a key bind to get the radios to work with xpilot.
