    Well Thomas, you were right. Quite straightforward programming in pmSystems. I am in the process of writing the ECAM actions, but I have encountered a side problem, and this is the order in which the lines are displayed in the upper ECAM page.
    It looks like the lines are displayed as soon as the condition to display is met. This can create problems when different actions are written based on different conditions (ie. incorrect order displayed on ECAM page). I am thinking about 2 ways this could be solved:
    1.- Is there any way to order somehow the messages displayed?
    2.- Is there any way several lines can be written by one single "setmessage" command?

    Thanks!

    BTW, I got the "Below G/S" indicator to work in my setup!
    Still fiddling with the GPWS...

    You lucky guy ....

    ... think about those poor uneducated souls who desperately tried to make one single "setmessage" command (added to the PMSystems' logics) work on the Boeing 737 GC, trying to follow the suggested syntaxe strictly ...

    ... and, yet, they see nothing happen !!!

    Happy landings and always three greens !!

    1/ The messages are ordered by GC, new ones goes on top I think.
    2/ No.

    I wish I could say the same ...

    ... but I can't !!!

    You know what ?

    The additional lines you sent me about TSR Autobrake Pro, which I faithfully copied and pasted into my PMSystems logics (Setmessage commands plus disablegcmessage) did NOTHING.

    Now, since you sent me the Autobrake Display gauge, which I put close to the Eicas panel, I paid no particular attention to this.

    But - as a matter of fact - it doesn't work !!!

    Regards,
    Eugenio.

    Happy landings and always three greens !!

    just copy one of the Setmessage lines YOU placed in your lgc file. Don't copy the one I sent, only the one you placed!

    ... ?

    Gosh, Thomas, I don't read you here ...

    What's best than your lines, to avoid any possible syntax error from my part ?

    It was those lines, that I copied and pasted into the logics ...

    with no result: I do not see the new messages displaying the autobrake status.

    I also made sure that "show controls" is off ...

    What else can I do ?

    Regds,
    Happy landings and always three greens !!

    Regds,

    When the software has been running (with the Setmessage lines) just goto GC folder and copy the message.txt file to see what is in there.
