Com2 TX Selection problems

Dan,

I will play aound with those settings and get a definitive answer for you.
Unfortunately, my PC with FS2004 has taken a dump.
Only have access to PC with FS2000 (which does not have COM2).

Just want to make sure that you understand bit 0 is first bit and bit 7 is 8th bit.
I have to ask.

Alan.

Dan,

Got my PC with FS2K2 running today and played with COM1 and COM2 Transmit.

Those two bits will be problem.
Here's why.
Most bits in an FS bitmap represent the state of some function, "on" or off, "left" or "right", etc.
COM1 and COM2 do represent state but they are interdependant.
i.e. when COM2 goes On then COM2 mus go Off.
They act as toggles.

The other exception with bit maps are radio toggle switches.
The do not represent a state.
setting generates an action.

I will address these two issues in next release.

Regards,
Alan.
