For various reasons, I would find it useful if the 'VCP' could be made to tune the COM2 radio frequency to the same as COM1, when it switches them in Modes 2 or 3. In the Advanced Options, you can choose either COM1 or COM2. I suppose then that it is not possible to set things up so that both COM frequencies change, at the present time at least?

Interesting. I wonder what would happen if you did that in the RW? :shock:

I don't know, but in the flightsim world it would autotune my ATC chatter programme, which falls silent every few minutes if don't retune COM2 manually. Any chance of an option (even in the ini file?) at the next update (obviously not everyone would want the VCP to tune both radios)?

I'll certainly take a look... I'll let you know later today if it's possible.

Well that was an easy one and it will be in the next release. I currently have it as an INI file entry that you would need to set manually but 'may' add it to the Advanced INI File Options page. Either way it will be documented in the Version History document.
