- SBY: powered-on but in standby and doesn't transmit id-code/altitude
- ON: powered-on and transmit id-code
- ALT: powered-on and transmit id-code/altitude
- TEST: same as SBY mode
Set id-code

Aircraft integration
Custom texture
You can provide a custom texture using the shared KT 76A. As example, provide a texture file in Aircraft/YourAircraft/Models/Instruments/kt76a-texture.png Now in your -set.xml add:
<instrumentation> <transponder> <texture-file>Aircraft/YourAircraft/Models/Instruments/kt76a-texture.png</texture-file> </transponder> </instrumentation>
Now default texture has been replaced by your custom texture.
Dimming params
You can set the dimming parameters that control the light emission. As example, insert your KT 76A as follows:
<model> <path>Aircraft/Instruments-3d/kt76a/KT76A.xml</path> <overlay> <params> <dimming>controls/instruments/transponder-light</dimming> </params> </overlay> <offsets> <x-m> YourValue </x-m> <y-m> YourValue </y-m> <z-m> YourValue </z-m> </offsets> </model>
Now controls/instruments/transponder-light is controlling the light emission of the KT 76A.
