Bug Jester handling radio

[Retnek]

Please set (key-combo just examples most probably not use)

a) Jester Command: UHF Radio > Freqency Mode > Preset (keyboard=) RShift + RWin + M
b) Jester Command: UHF Radio > Channel > Comm > 1 (keyboard=) RCtrl + RWin + 1
c) Jester Command: UHF Radio > Freqency Mode > Manual (keyboard=) RCtrl + RWin + M

Do all klicks below from pilots seat with "Toogle Radio Command" = green light off = radio settings under WSO-control

klick a) radio at WSO-place is set to "Freqency Mode = Preset" = OK

klick c) radio at WSO-place is NOT set to "Freqency Mode = Manual" = BUG

klick b) if radio at WSO-place was set to "Freqency Mode = Manual" it will be set into "Freqency Mode = Preset" and "Channel =1".  So that overrides the "Manual"-position of the switch and chooses "Preset". But switch at WSO should remain "Manual" until Pilot sets it to "Preset" first = BUG

Thanks for your report.

The last thing you are saying could be intentional and not a bug. When you explicitly tell Jester "hey, go to channel 1", that includes going to Preset in order to actually talk on that channel.

Likewise entering a manual frequency might include him going to Manual. I will doublecheck.

The thing you said before though sounds like a bug. I.e. explicitly saying to switch to Manual while in Preset should switch to Manual.

We will have a look, cheers :)

You're right, it might be intended as an act of anticipation by Jester. I would feel an urgent need to eject him after: Driver, I heard you, but first you have to order me "switch frequency mode back to preset"! Tthat's a question of "service-design" for Heatblur. If Jester strictly has to follow orders a reply "can't do" would be nice in case of "choose UHF channel 1". As it is implemented for some other situations. I'd prefer a more cooperative buddy.

I'm fine with "Likewise entering a manual frequency might include him going to Manual." As long as he still switches to manual when ordered, too. Our use-case is to dial in an extra frequency at Jesters place during pre-flight preparations. Quick and easy to use in-flight with two clicks - 1) "switch radio control to Jester" and 2) "Jester, switch to manual mode".

Anyhow - thx for checking!
