Some .dot Commands Not Functioning in 1.3.23

[ssharpe83713]

When I try to change frequencies from the Message window (.com1 122.8, for example), the entry is posted as a message, rather than interfacing with the aircraft comm. This is true for .com2 and weather (.wx). Clear (.clear) is working fine. I have an mp4 capture video of the issue, if you need to see it.

Which message window are you referring to? The Text Message Console in X-Plane, or the actual xPilot client?

[ssharpe83713]

The xPilot client. I noticed the problem several versions back.

I am unable to reproduce this using the stock C172. Is this happening with all aircraft, or just a single aircraft?

[ssharpe83713]

I tried the stock C172 and G1000 versions this morning...same problem. Here's a Google Drive link to the capture video I made. It's a little blurry but shows my attempt to change the COM2 frequency (posts as a text message instead); then, successfully clears the window with the .clear command; followed by another attempt at changing COM2.

OK... That's the Text Message Console, which is currently limited to what commands it accepts.

Okay...it's a bit misleading because the text appearing in the Text Message Console nearly mimics the text that appears in the main xPilot window, so I thought that .dot commands would be accepted in either window. The .dot commands do continue to work when used from the main xPilot window, though that's certainly not the preferred window because its resolution in HD is blurry, compared to the plugin popout windows for ATC and Text Message Console. Since you offer the popout windows from the plugin, I would expect normal HD use to minimize the initial window, except for Connect/Disconnect from the network.
