Cpflight question and TO/GA
I have the McpPro and I know there is an option to connect an external toga button.
Where do I start?
Which buttons should fit and how do I connect it?
Any help will be more then appreciated.
Regards.

Re: Cpflight question and TO/GA
The connection for the external TO/GA should be on the back side of the unit. A standard push button should do the trick, like what is on the throttle levers.

Re: Cpflight question and TO/GA
Thx a lot.
A great start! But how do I wire it to my throttles ? Which cable do I need ? Im sure it has been done before.

Re: Cpflight question and TO/GA
I think just a standard two-line cable.

Re: Cpflight question and TO/GA
I took an old on/off switch from a scrapped pc. You can connect it to a throttle (or just leave it as an extra button).

Re: Cpflight question and TO/GA
2 pics (sorry, it was the "reset switch"). It has a small flat connector which fits perfectly on the 2 pin connecrtor at the back of the MCP (in my case a USB 85% Scale version).
Hope this clears it up.

Here is a photo with what I've made:
The only problem is the TO/GA not working with LEVEL-D ? anyone ?

Re: Cpflight question and TO/GA
Perhaps Level D uses another offset (or key combo). Don't know, can't help you on this one.
My advise is to contact CPFlight support and tell them your problem. I'm sure Enrico or Paolo will know the answer.
