[BUG] COM and NAV volumes cannot be set with keyboard input

[thestonefox]

Current version:

• Current mod version: V0.9.3
• Current MSFS version: 1-11-7-0-hot-fix

Describe the bug
Trying to set a key to increase/decrease the COM or NAV volume doesn't work. When you press the increase or decrease key, it moves the knob in the sim but when you release they key then the knob returns to the last value set by the mouse clicking on the volume control in the cockpit.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behaviour:

1. Set a key to increase/decrease COM1 volume
2. In the cockpit, press and hold the key to increase (or decrease) the COM1 volume
3. Watch the volume knob rotate, release the key
4. Watch the volume knob automatically rotate back to the original set position

Expected behaviour
I expect the volume knob not to reset back when I release the key

Screenshots

Additional context
Tested in the base sim without the mod and the volume keys work as expected

Thanks for the report!
I hadn't tried to with keybinds!

I will get this corrected!

[thestonefox]

thanks very much :) I only noticed it when I was setting up my streamdeck and wanted to send a keybind press

I'm seeing the same issue with the ComNav Audio panel. I posted this in the MSFS forum but will post here too:
I’m using mobiflight+FSUIPC and find that with your mod a number of the controls will get reset after they are set with mobiflight.
Items I’ve found so far
Radio Volume Knobs (all)
NavCom Sound panel all buttons
Example:
I send in:
783938 *** EVENT: Cntrl= 66465 (0x000103a1), Param= 0 (0x00000000) COM_RECEIVE_ALL_TOGGLE
And then this event is fired right after resetting my setting:
784063 *** EVENT: Cntrl= 66466 (0x000103a2), Param= 0 (0x00000000) COM_RECEIVE_ALL_SET

I'm investigating this as SU5 has changed how all these work!
They are set currently to basically act as default and it doesn't appear to be working for me either!

Can you send me an example of how you're setting up MobiFlight? I've never used it before so not sure I'm doing it right!

[N95JPL]

Okay, I have found the issue with the resetting values!

Sorting out the fix for it now, unfortunately I'm unable to get MobiFlight working... maybe I'm being stupid...

I've been testing on the BOTH switch, using key binding now works!

[jeffdamp-wave]

If you get it to work on KB/joystick I can get it to work in MobiFlight. Mobiflight can simulate KB or Joystick (via VJoy). It also uses the under lying event system to send events to MSFS in a few different ways. Let me know if you want me to test out a change.

[N95JPL]

Perfect!
I'd offer you to test out the V1.0.0 beta, however I can only do that if you are part of the PerformancePLUS Beta?
If not, I will do what I can before the V1.0.0 release, then once that's public if you could please test again?
I will then issue any fixes via anyone update/beta phase!
Thanks!

[jeffdamp-wave]

I'm not in the PerfomancePLUS Beta but "I know a guy" :) so I'll see about getting into it.

[N95JPL]

Perfect!
Let me know if you manage to get on!

Quick Q: Can use set LVar values through MobiFlight?

[N95JPL]

This is in progress, the knobs don't reset now when changed via the volume key... although I am still fighting an issue

When starting dark & cold, turning the radios on initially via the key keeps the circuits switched off... use mouse and drag, circuits come alive, the keys work normally then

I'll continue checking it out
