    Cut Off / MCPEX1 and PMSystems

    Hi,

    I am trying to set 2 switches (on/off) for CUTOFF 1 and CUTOFF 2 to work with MCPEX1 and PM Systems but with no luck, this the first time i am trying to use hardware with pmsystems, so any help will be apreciate

    Here are what i have done:

    . switches are connected to MCPEX1 and working (ON and OFF) with cpflight tools test
    . there is no PM CUTOFF to select with cpflighttools digital IN menu but i have the offsets showing with my pm systems cutoff view and shows:

    CUTOFFL 0x561A Bit 0 for engine 1 VALUE=ON
    CUTOFFR 0x561A Bit 1 for engine 2 VALUE=ON

    So what i need to do next and where to make then to work?

    Thanks in advance !!!

    Carlos

    You have to check the offsets. I think they are different if you use PM.
    I could have a look to that later ... if you whish.

    Hi

    I don't know this board works or its driver / software but I think you need to add this lines to the DigitalIN.cfg

    "PMS CUTOFF 1","&H561A",1,&HFE,1,3
    "PMS CUTOFF 2","&H561A",1,&HFD,2,3

    I cannot test if it will work, just try it.
    Regards
    Thomas

    Will try now....

    One thing that i note with cutoff is that every time i start the first time CUTOFF SWITCH both goes ON (1 and 2) on pmsytems cutoff after that both works indenpendent like it should ,if i first set on then off each switch then it works normally. It only occurs with the first time i start my SIM....any idea? Its like i need to reset the switches first...

    1/ is in pmSystems menu (ESC) set that hardware is used ?
    2/ normally if you enter the Cockpit they should be in ON (Cuttoff) position

    Thomas,

    About CUTOFF you are right, pmsystems hardware was set to OFF, now works great !!! and A/T now disconnects the SPEED button on my MCP. Need to check why don't hear any advise sound when a/t is disconnected, only A/P, could be something with pm sounds?

    You can define it a well in pmSounds in the soundlist.txt.

    Just try (never tried this one)
    YourSound, 5529, .0, 1
