I have modified an aircraft that did not have a VOR 2 gauge with a popup that I can drag wherever I want on the panel, I added the Bendix King VOR2 radio that is used in the default Cessna 172 to be able to tune the frequency and I modified the [Radios] section of the aircraft.cfg file by adding the line Nav.2 = 1, 1, 0 which should make it available, have a standby frequency, and not have a glideslope. So in theory this should work right? Well, when I reloaded the aircraft after making the changes the VOR 2 radio still does not work. It does not even have the DME reading. Is there any place else that I need to do an edit to make it work? Is there maybe a line in the air file that I need to edit to make the VOR 2 radio available? I have program called aircraftairfilemanager.exe to edit airfiles but I could not seem to find an entry that deals with radios. Any ideas on how to make it work?

Open the aircraft .cfg file and look for the radio entries, should look like this
[Radios]
// Radio Type = available, standby frequency, has glide slope
Audio.1 = 1
Com.1 = 1, 0
Com.2 = 1, 0
Nav.1 = 1, 0, 1
Nav.2 = 1, 0, 0
Adf.1 = 1
Transponder.1 = 1
Marker.1 = 1
You might not have all the entries above but you do want to have the NAV2 line activated.
Nav.2 = 1, 0, 0
If you have a standby freq change the second 0 with a 1 like this
Nav.2 = 1, 1, 0
Save the changes and check in game to see if it is working.
