MSFS_C152 Community (V1.0.0!) - Updated: 09/10/2021

The knobs of the NAV radios are crazy, they don’t stop to turn! It is impossible to set a frequency!

This happenned today when I would make a flight and was gonna set the VOR frequency.

It happened in the default 152 and after I installed this MOD.

Anyone have a clue of what is happening?

edit: I have just tried again and the problem persists. This way, the airplane is unflyable. What a pity.

Hello!
I haven’t experienced this issue, nor has anybody else reported it?
It sounds like a localised issue on your PC?
Can you try in an aircraft that isn’t the C152?
Or reset any keybindings you have for the radio stacks?
Then try again?

I used to get that in other stock aircraft, it seems to have stopped recently and I havent seen it happen in this C152, I didnt think it was an aircraft specific problem back then.

I just checked in the 172 steam gauges, same problem in the Garmins and the ADF .

looks like the sim is corrupted?

Edit: checked in the Seminole. Even the payware aircrafts. Looks like the sim is corruppted. Any sugestions? Uninstall and reinstall?

I’m assuming you’re using the mouse to tune frequencies? Check your controller profiles and make sure you don’t have multiple bindings for the tuning actions. I could see that causing all kinds of issues. Also make sure you only have one mouse profile active.

See the comment above, check all your key settings, make sure you haven’t set up a double trigger to move them!
Failing that, try a reinstall!
Just to confirm, this isn’t a Mod bug!
Thanks for trying other aircraft too!

The knobs continuing to turn is not an aircraft specific problem, has been around for a while and is reported in other threads (not easy to find as the search engine in this forum requires that you use the exact right words). The solution reported is to not adjust the knob by clicking it.
Move your mouse over the knob until the tooltip appears, then adjust the knob only with your mouse scroll wheel. I’ve always used this method.

This post gives a couple of solutions you could try.

I just arrived home, I’m try what you suggest, but anyway, really thanks to point me out that this proplem have already happened

Thanks for finding this!
Some strange bugs in this sim, that don’t affect all users!
Thank goodness it wasn’t a mod issue!

Josh,

one think I might have found yesterday evening (at work now and I will confirm later): turning off (ccw) the NAV Identification knob in the radio panel after it was ON, turns off the radio.

I do not know if this is an intended behaviour though…

Hello!
If you’re referring to the volume/power knob, then turning it CCW will turn it off when it gets to about the 7 o’clock position!
This will also turn off the Nav Balls too!
If you mean something else, upload a video so I can see! :blush:
Thanks
Josh!

Not the small knob on the COMMS side of the panel used to switch on the radio but the small one on the right panel used to identify VOR stations and which can be pulled out. If both novs are at four position (max volume) turning ccw the one on the right till seven o’clock switches off the radio…

Ah! I will take a look!
Thanks for reporting!

Josh,

I confirm the above: both COMM1 and COMM2 radio panels can be switched off by rotating the little knob in the right-hand (NAV) side of the panel to the seven o’clock position (mimicking the OFF position of the “cousin” in the COMM half of the panel)

I have reported it on my GitHub Issue #52

I will work on a fix!

I’m glad I could help! :wink:

Yes! I expect the nose to fall out. Instead I was at 35, 40 kias and only had VS at 500 ft / min…

Lift the nose higher. You have to force the C-152 to stall. It really doesn’t want to and will fight you over it. Tell it who’s boss!

I am impressed.
Only with applying full rudder I could induce a spin, just as FlyingsCool5650 described from his real world experience.
