FSX and XPNDR737 issues... need help guys !!!

Hi to all,

I think I found something.... Clive please do the following and advise if the problem is fixed. To make the long story, short, my xponder works with SB now !!!!

I really do not know which of the following two things that I did fixed the problem, since I didn't try it in between, but be my guest to do that for you...

so no1:

Run FSX on a gate of your choise, connect via SB4... You see the black box that SB pops up after connecting. It should say Normal (Charlie). Try your CPflight xponder switch to ta/ra. Normaly it shouldn't switch to anything, right ? Ok now press "start" on the SB window, then choose "transponder" and uncheck "flight simulator transponder". This will make the SB black box disapear. Move your CPflight xponder switch a few times. Now do this: Just press again "start" on the SB window, choose "transponder" again and re-check "flight simulator transponder". This will pop up the SB black box again. Now try again slowly moving your CPflight xponder switch to ta/ra again. Does it work ? Mine did.

If it does not please go to step no.2

No.2
Please download the new MCP CPflight driver for iFly737NG for FSX from the CPflight site. Install the driver. It is an easy to do setup. Restart your PC and try again connecting with your SB4 application to vatsim. Try your CPflight xponder switch again. If it does not please try again no1.

Sorry but I did both steps and I do not remember which was first and which was second, and as said I didn't try it in between.

Mine works now !!!!

Please advise about it,

Regards

Nick

Clive I really cannot answer this question. I have purchased ifly 737, and IMO it was not worth it. I fly the custom 737-800 now with this driver, and I have no issues.

Have you tried No.1 ?

Hi Nick

I am going to try No1 tonight! will let you know

Hope it goes well,

I just returned from my office and tried it again for the 4th time. Mine works now ;)

Hi Nick No.1 did not work .... not sure if iFly737NG drivers will do anything for me I don't have iFly737 installed

Clive

Clive, I'm not sure the latest driver is specifically for iFly, there's only one driver as it does all [compatible] aircraft. It's always a good idea to be using the latest drivers, so it won't do any harm. Perhaps this latest driver also contains a fix for the transponder issue.

OK then I will give it a go!

Hi there,

Any news ?
