In addition to the EGT data handling differences on the INTFG (ENG) of my C172SP gauges in XP12, I found the VOR2 for C172SP stops functioning as well after the recent 12.2.0-r1 update. Thankfully, the VOR2 keeps working properly in XP11.

After investigation, I discovered the cause of the issue is due to the dataref codes used for VOR2 on the C172SP in XP12 have all been changed from pilot mode to copilot mode, making the necessary VOR2 data no longer fed to the gauge.

I was baffled by the issue in the beginning because I didn’t spot any anomaly from the virtual cockpit on the monitor screen since the operations and reactions of the VOR2 under copilot mode are identical to the VOR2 under pilot mode.

But in essence, the data sent to connected peripherals (both hardware and software) are totally different.

Yes, I can modify the VOR2 as I did for the INTFG (ENG) to cope with the change.

But the fact is: the change is a bug.

Both VOR1 and VOR2 on the C172SP, no matter in flightsim or in real practice, should be controlled by the same pilot, rather than VOR1 by the chief pilot and VOR2 by the copilot, or vice versa. This applies to codings too.

I have reported the issue to Laminar already.

So, let’s get our fingers crossed to see the bug be fixed in the next update.
