CJ4: Implemented IDENT button in NavRadio #1512

Closed grumpy-anonsaba closed 2 years ago

grumpy-anonsaba commented 2 years ago

Implemented IDENT functionality in the Nav Radio.

Button is initially white until pressed then turns blue for 10 seconds. This timing is for vPilot.

I would recommend reading the ident simvar to check for it being active as opposed to doing a timer in the code; the sim already handles turning ident off after 8 seconds, and having conferred with the vPilot developer on this when they implemented it, they just watch the simvar also.

Alright I implemented those checks instead. Ironically TRANSPONDER IDENT doesn't initially get set to 1, but takes a few in game seconds. I engineered a cheesy solution to bypass this while we wait on TRANSPONDER IDENT to become active.

It's worth noting the transponder mode must be 0 (on) for IDENT to function properly. This transponder mode is set to 1 by default (STBY) - So I display an error in the FMC if a user tries to IDENT without the transponder actually turned on
