NDB and ADF

Greetings Tim, and a hearty "well done" for your brainchild.

I and a small group of a few dozen are ardent DC3 pilots, and are having fun with the ADF system. 
  We are also wishful of using BOTH ADF receivers as fitted to quite a few FSX aircraft, is there some way of using PlanG to "Set NDB  on  ADF-2 radio" as well as ADF-1?   I refer, of course, to the context sensitive menu available when mousing over and right clicking the ADF icon.

Thank you.   Bob P

I don't think so - there's only one 'set adf' command to send, as far as i can see.

Tim,
It should be possible. For instance in XML and/or  psuedo code it could be done as such. Have seen it done before for instance, using NAV2 as the source for the stock AP in nav mode.

Doubt very much that the ADF2 works for FS9, the quote above for NAV2 drives AP is questionable (not impossible) for FS9, but confirmed in FSX. 


(L:my adf frequency,  BCD) (>K:SELECT_2) (>K:ADF_SET)


In the stock CRJ 700 there is a section in the aircraft.cfg -

[Radios]
// Radio Type = availiable, standby frequency, has glide slope
Audio.1       = 1
Com.1         = 1, 1
Com.2         = 1, 1
Nav.1         = 1, 1, 1
Nav.2         = 1, 1, 0
Adf.1         = 1
Adf.2         = 1                   //<-- Right here.
Transponder.1 = 1
Marker.1      = 1


Programming wise, check to see if there is an ADF 2, if so,  provide the option.

I have implemented ADF two in the Aircraft.cfg files of all aircraft that i regularly fly.
Rebuilt the bendix/King radio stack to create the ADF2 receiver, dropping out the AP to let the mod occupy the same space.
We had to modify the new ADF  radio panel to reflect the correct calls by FSX and it works excellently, merely have to insert the required freq by hand.

I can send you the appropriate files and pictures if you need?

All i need now is the Plan-G facility to emulate the usefulness allsame as the "Set VOR Freq to NAV1 radio" or "Set VOR Freq to NAV2 radio" on the drop-down box from a radial.

Regards and apologies for the delay in replying to your answer.
