No LF audio in FSX

Post by tailspin45 » Wed Aug 01, 2018 9:59 pm

A year ago I posted here that I was unable to hear any audio from the LF radio in P3D. After further effort I gave up.

Now I'm back trying again, in FSX. Still no audio.

My switches match those in the video, I'm sitting on the ground at Charlotte and have 212 dialed in.

No static, no identifier, no A or N. Yes all the other audio works fine.

Suggestions anyone?

How long did you take for the "vacuum tubes" to warm up? It takes up to several minutes before it begins to "receive" and hear noise.

Thanks for responding Bill, but that wasn't the problem. And yes it was turned on and turned all the way up. I was methodical about setting it up, read the manual, watched the video etc.

I was on for over a half hour while I fiddled with other things, started her up, taxied out, took off, flew around trying to make it work, came back landed, taxied in and shut down. No joy.

Then Tomas will have to assist you. He coded the LF radio and systems.

Fixed. I works great and now I wish you sold it with an installer for any other aircraft. Please?

Decided to give it another go, from Eugene OR. Cranked her up, turned on the radio, taxied out, took off. Nothing after timed 4 minutes.

The engines sounded loud, though, so I turned them down in Settings/Sound menu,

And what to my wondering ears did appear but" Dit-dah, dit-dah, dit-dah, dit dit-dit-dah, dit-dah, dit-dah...."

For reasons I don't understand, the engines were so loud I couldn't hear the radio. That was the problem!

After fifty years of flying, worrying about little aircraft batteries, it never occurred to me to just sit on the ground with the engines off and wait for the radios to warm up. If I had, I would have heard the signal, I'm sure.

So, of course, I went out and shot the approach at KEUG and by golly, it worked. But it sure gives me a lot of respect for the guys and gals out on a dark and stormy night who had only that to get them down safely. NOW I understand what Ernie Gann was going on about in Fate Is The Hunter.

8-) Did you turn up the volume on the radio (it works)?
