The title incorrectly implies a relationship between the two, but in fact I have two newbish questions: one dealing with IDS numbers and the other dealing with the XR2.
1)How to decode the XPDR & IDS numbers?
I'm back into Orbiter once again after a long hiatus but I've never found the answer to this. I've checked the Orbiter.pdf but maybe I missed it.
Is there a way (other than trial and error) to know what the IDS frequency numbers in a .scn or .cfg will be in-game without constantly having to load the .scn to find out?
Example: say a vessel in a .scn or .cfg file has an IDS # for one of it's Docking Ports like 520 or an XPDR # like 456... I can load the .scn and find out what the frequency translates to, but I'd like to be able to decipher these numbers without having to load the .scn.
Does anyone have the secret decoder ring that will tell me the translation?
2)Is there a dedicated XR2 thread?
As I mentioned, I'm just gettin' back into Orbiter and I just D-loaded the XR2, but I'm finding "weirdness" with it. I've checked through addon support, but my particular issue was not addressed. I did however read a response in one post by someone to something XR2 related which stated: "...this has been discussed in the XR2 thread...".
I've checked several times on these forums (maybe not well enough), but I can't find a specific XR2 thread. Could someone enlighten me as to where it is if it exists?
Thanks in advance for any info guys, it IS (as always) very much appreciated.
Cheers,
