volume control

You can see the volume level by pressing AUX page function key and look on the Audio tab to see the audio volume level.

Awesome idea.  More than once I've turned the volume down for some distraction, and discovered too-long later that I forgot...

You can also press the volume knob and see a scale.

It that a "bug" just in the simulator implementation, or in the unit software itself?

Just a thought, might it be made a feature?

I don't like that idea.  I'm well-trained by my GNS430 that a short-press is the squelch defeat.  I'd bet a few hundred or thousand other pilots out there probably are, too, and would be discombobulated by different behavior.

Suppose the short press just happens to display the volume, while toggling the squelch mode (which I infer is the GNS430 behavior, since it's been 10 years since I've flown with one).

One could double-press the button to get *only* the volume display.

On my mechanical knobs devices, I still end up *twisting* them to figure out where the volume is set when the silence becomes disconcerting.  And I always wonder "where did I end up?"  So if this happens a second time, I usually make a radio check.  A visual display (that I can remember as "aha, that's the right level!") in any form is good.

I'm kind of impressed and surprised there is this much interest in this particular feature.  As a minimum, it has certainly elevated the topic to be high on the next release feature discussion we'll have internally about 4 1/2 minutes after we get the initial TSO/STC.
