Selecting radio frequencies with number pad in FSX

Post by Paul K »

Has anyone ever come across a way to do this ? I want to be able to map a key to each of the radios so as to select which one I want to change, then I want to be able to key in the desired frequency using the number pad. Obviously Squawk and ADF frequencies too.

I have the licensed version of FSUIPC, and there is a LUA file that someone over at Avsim forums did. The LUA's download link is broken and I'm trying to get hold of him, but in the meantime, does anyone know of an alternative method, or even have said LUA ?

Thanks for any help folks, as ever. :)

I tried that lua script when it was first released, but I deleted it I'm afraid :S Was a little bit buggy, but did work as advertised. I see it's had a couple of updates since then, so it may be better now.
Hopefully you can find it somewhere.

Interesting what he did with that, thanks. I wish I had more space for such things. :lol:

Thanks Dave.Yes, maybe it was one of the early versions you were using. I'll keep looking. :)
