Transponder wont turn on

Postby Brian_Gladden » Mon Oct 07, 2024 4:14 pm

Hey all. I have a problem with my analog transponders not turning on. I put the mouse over the knob, get the little semi circle arrow and I roll my mouse wheel and it tries to turn on but then "Spring loads" back to off. Any Ideas what is going on?

Hmm even with the battery off, it shouldn't "spring back" to off when turning it with the mouse wheel.
I think the only possible reason could be that this precise control has been somehow assigned to another button/axis of your controllers somewhere.
Or maybe some conflict with some copilot thingy or something like that, like the assistance options and such ?

It sounds like you might be experiencing a software or calibration issue with your analog transponders. Ensure that the transponders are properly powered and that there’s no issue with the power supply. <<q

What I have sound so far... Zero key bindings to anything related to transponder. Also anything with a glass cockpit, the transponder seems to work fine, Still tearing my hair out (I don't have much left :dance: )
