Hmmm.... radios are one of the items where simulators invariably use a front panel mock-up with switches and pots signaling the host. Not always. Many of the radios I worked with (business jet and up) were the kind where there was just a control head in the panel and the actual guts (tuner, etc) were someplace else. We used the real control heads and just dispensed with the remote guts. For the Collins radios, you could read the spec, set up the control and data lines to the control head, and get it right fairly quickly. For the King radios, reading the spec was only the first step of a long journey into undocumented goofiness. This pattern repeated itself with other hardware where we used the actual aircraft item complete, such as a FMS. Matt Roberds |
