Transponder mode

Hi! Does anyone know if there is a key or some simconect event to put my transponder in alt mode? I am missing some simconect commands to finish my cabin, but that is one of the essentials for me. sorry for my bad English. Thanks a lot

Not sure about that exact one but there are a lot of commands that are missing in simconnect and everyone is waiting for a fix.

Thank you very much for your answer, I will keep waiting to get my home cockpit running.thanks

According to SPAD, you might be able to access this:

Setting it to 4 would be ALT.

Thank you very much for your answer. I’ve tried to do it with spad.next, but “transponder state: 1” is just a variable (I think). It does not appear as the option to send action to the simulator. I can only use … "if transponder state1 = 4 (alt mode) then execute an action. In my case what I am looking for is to send the action to the simulator to change from standby to alt mode. Thank you so much for your answer!

I was hoping that simply setting that variable would actually alter the config in the cockpit. I suppose it could be used as a readout. I often test things out as the radio panels have a few display modes I don’t use, so it’s kind of a scratch pad for me! I would display that variable, and watch it as I changed transponder modes. I suppose this is a case of the tail attempting to wag the dog. :wink:

I often do the same. spad is a great program for these panels and it has many features, so there are whole afternoons that I dedicate to testing commands and variables just to see how far the program goes and my head jejejej . Thank you very much for your answer hobanagerik
