UHF backup function knob
-
I don’t know anything about remote UHF operation, but why not make BMS ignore the UHF function knob when CNI is set to UFC? That will make it more realistic.
-
That is the whole point. The function knob and frankly the whole UHF panel when the UHF in set to UFC is controlled remotely ( hence the REMOTE indication) by the audio 1 and UFC. This “remote” controlled functionality is not fully coded in BMS . The coders are aware of how the UHF panel should function.
-
I’m a bit confused. First you say that the ‘UHF power up is spot on’, but now you say the functionality is not fully coded. Don’t get me wrong. My goal is not to push hard to change this. But since a real F-16 pilot confirmed to me that the current implementation is incorrect and Boxer said that it shouldn’t be too hard to implement the change, why not change it?
If you tell me that I’m wrong or that there are other reasons not the change UHF power functionality, it’s fine with me and I will consider this topic closed. Just trying to help.

This was your question : “The question for me that remains is whether the COM1 volume knob must be used to power the backup UHF radio”
The answer is yes, so in regards to the power up BMS code is ok.Now when it comes to using the UFC, the remote controllability is not fully modeled . I don’t know how to make it more clear.
-
Yes, COM1 is still needed when CNI is set to backup. The pilot at Leeuwarden airbase confirmed that. But that doesn’t mean that the power up code in BMS is ok, as already explained in my posts.
Yes, it’s very clear that remote controllability is not fully modded. No need to repeat that. The confusing part for me is that you say BMS code is correct and when I say it’s not, you say the code is not fully implemented (confirming for me that the code is not correct). I’m missing a ‘no, we won’t change it’ or a ‘yes, it will be changed’ answer.

I will point out your question… again :“The question for me that remains is whether the COM1 volume knob must be used to power the backup UHF radio"
Please point out where the BMS code is wrong specifically in regards to your question.
Please also point out where I was wrong prompting Boxer that his code is ok in regards to your question.
As for the function of the UHF in CNI, the code has errors. It l also has errors in backup.
We are fully aware of how it should operate.
BMS has and will always try and bring the maximum realism possible. I hope that answer satisfies you. -
Never mind. I give up. This topic can be closed.

This screenshot shows otherwise. CNI set to UFC, COM1 is on, UHF function knob set to OFF. Result: no UHF radio. This is not correct. UHF radio should be available. UHF function knob should only have effect on UHF availability when CNI is set to backup.
According to the manuals you should be right.
With CNI in UFC, the UHF function knob (so the OFF/MAIN/BOTH selector) should not have any impact and the selection MAIN/BOTH should be in the UFC.$
So reformulated, with CNI in UFC, UHF function Knob in OFF, and Com1 volume >0 :
In BMS : UHF is out
IRL : it is on.For the record BMS does simulate the MAIN/BOTH selection in the UFC properly. If confirmed we just have this ‘UFC function knob’ quirk to remove.
In BMS, we dont have any differences between Blocks for COM1 or COM2 anyway.
@Leech : the question is not about COM1 volume, just about the UHF Function knob.

No Alex, I disagree. The question was if the COMM1 is used to power the UHF and the answer is yes. My reference to Mark that his code is ok is in relative to the above.
In a latter post I specifically said what happens when the UFC is enabled :
" It is if the UHF panel is inactive. For example, the squelch circuit when the CNI is set to the UFC, is controlled by the COMM1 UHF mode knob on the Audio 1 panel"I addition I stated that the UHF remote function is not fully modeled
You and Mark both know that the the fix of the function knob is a minor fix in relation of what needs to be done to bring the UHF panel code up to a descent level.
I’m just repeating myself over and over.

No, Leech. l3crusader is right. This topic is about the UHF function knob not modelled correctly in BMS. The question about the COM1 was just a remaining minor thing to be solved at the start of this topic. A few posts later I confirmed that the COM1 is indeed needed for volume when CNI=backup. So, it’s not a question anymore for quite some time.
l3crusader, if simply the UHF function can be ignored when CNI=UFC, I think that should be enough and this whole issue is solved. Thanks!
