[Flightgear-devel] broken radios : KX 165 on Seneca II

2007-01-11 Thread John Denker
On the Seneca II model, the KX 165 radios are broken.

 -- When I try to tune 116.0 I get 116.99
 -- When I try to tune 111.7 I get 111.69
 -- But you can't just say everything is off by 0.01 MHz, because
  if I put in 116.01, I get 116.01.  The 116.0 result is skipped,
  i.e. avoided!

I imagine that somewhere in the backend somebody is doing a floor() when
they should be doing a round().  Or some such.

Unless somebody has a better idea, I will add this report to the wiki:
  
http://wiki.flightgear.org/flightgear_wiki/index.php?title=Piper_PA34-200T_Seneca_II
within the next day or so.

1) This is using fsgs compiled from a very recent cvs.
   Also using a very recent data/ tree.

2) The same bug (plus additional weirdness) is observed using the fgfs binary
  as distributed back in May.

That's a known bug and I have no Idea how to get rid of it.Have been digging 
into the source and no result (yet).
As a workaround, I added this to my .fgfsrc

--prop:/instrumentation/comm/frequencies/selected-mhz=126.8501
--prop:/instrumentation/comm/frequencies/standby-mhz=124.2201
--prop:/instrumentation/comm[1]/frequencies/selected-mhz=121.8001
--prop:/instrumentation/comm[1]/frequencies/standby-mhz=132.1201
--prop:/instrumentation/nav/frequencies/selected-mhz=111.5001
--prop:/instrumentation/nav/frequencies/standby-mhz=113.1001
--prop:/instrumentation/nav[1]/frequencies/selected-mhz=113.1001
--prop:/instrumentation/nav[1]/frequencies/standby-mhz=115.1001
--prop:/instrumentation/dme/frequencies/selected-mhz=115.8001
