Humble vPilot Feature request

Gday mates - wondering if we could get split L/R audio channels for COM1/2? Similar to SRS in DCS, would be great to be able to have COM1 in one ear, and COM2 in the other to keep comms awareness in busy spots.

Im sure for GA flying, it wouldnt be hugely important, but as a VSO aerobatic group, we have a ops com channel like an intercom between the team, and usually monitor center/unicomm. On busy days, it can be hard to maintain SA with alot of chatter going on.

I know in SRS I have 2 volume knobs bound so I can increase/decrease each channel as well, which would be awesome.

Cheers! And thanks for all the hard work put into vPilot so far!

Adding to this request, if I may:
As would be the case in such aircraft you’re flying, the ability to have separate PTTs for, and allow both radios to be simultaneously active to transmit (though I’m not sure if that’s a vPilot or a flight sim limitation at this time)

I know in the Iris PC-21 we have a PTT switch we bind to a switch which lets us switch pretty quick and easy - but like SRS if we could bind 2 diff buttons to com1/2 that would be great too.

Just set Com1 as your main channel and Com2 to monitor. Use .com both

That works from a GA POV, but as a military aerobatic team, it gets dense quick with lead calls and monitoring uni/ctaf/center. Can greatly affect SA.

If you aren’t lead, splitting your attention in the formation is a a dangerous procedure. If you are buttoned on, lead is all you need tho know.

You still need to monitor local ctaf/atc - if someone has a failure or an emergency and needs to break off, they’ll need to be able to communicate.
