Hal,

 

Since the dialog seems to be fundamentally broken, and in view of the freeze
that has been declared on fgdata, I won't be merging this immediately. I'll
see if I can fix up the Nasal errors, and then review the situation.

I now have everything except the menu working. The 3D model is complete
although the texturing of the fittings on the bottom of the unit is crude
(but these are not visible in most installations). All of the controls have
hot spots and the radio control unit can be fully manipluated with a mouse.
Everything appears to be working correctly including how the ptt works with
a remote ptt switch. All of the lights are functional and so is the dimming
mask.

 

I will be pushing this to my gitorious fgdata copy tomorrow along with some
other P-51D updates after I make sure that everything is tested again. WIth
the freeze I don't know if I will be able to get this into GIT but the radio
has been in GIT for some time so perhaps I can. Once it is in my gitoriious
copy of fgdata you can grab it for your Spitfire work. In the mean time
perhaps some one here might know how to get the radio menu working or
perhaps have some ideas about things that can be tried.
