FMS Tune Page Issues
Posted: Wed May 06, 2020 1:46 am
I've noticed at least in all the beta versions I've used, the FMS's Tune page has odd problems with both COM radios.
When I first load the aircraft, COM1 initializes with the same frequencies as the NavCom under the ESIS, but they're swapped. This is easily fixed by just entering two new frequencies and swapping them. After that, they should stay in sync with each other.
The bigger problem is with COM2. Comparing the frequencies in COM2 in the FMS and the NavCom display under the ESIS, you can see that the frequencies are, or can be, different and out of sync. Also, swapping frequencies doesn't work when trying to swap them from the FMS Tune page. In this video I recorded, you can see both problems in action. Note the frequencies on both devices. On the NavCom display, the active frequency is 126.300 with a standby frequency of 127.800, but in the FMS Tune page, you see the active is correct (126.300) but the standby is 127.900. Clicking LSK 2R to swap frequencies appears to swap frequencies in the FMS, but doesn't actually swap them on the NavCom display. However, swapping freqs from the NavCom display swaps them in the FMS as expected, just with the incorrect frequency as you can see.
