    Thumbs down MCP HDG problem using Radar Contact

    Hi,
    I have a strange thing happening using FS9, and Radar Contact. Before initialising RC the MCP works fine, but once I boot up RC everything works except the HDG increase knob. Heading decrease is fine but I cannot dial in a higher heading.
    I have checked the RC keys settings and there is no conflict, so I am at a loss as to what is causing the problem.
    I am using the keys and settings provided by Barkay, and also using WIDEFS.
    Does anyone know what could be occurring and how I can fix it.
    many thanks
    Keith

    Hi Keith.

    I have seen in the fs9.cfg files where in the menu's no key settings are shown, however in the cfg file they are listed there. have a quick peek through the config files to see if there are any stray assignments you are not aware of.

    Keith,

    As Trev said that is one way to look at it. But eveything that is related with HDG in my files is actually using FSUIPC offsets as there is no key press required for that. I am also thinking whether RC is somehow trying to read these offsets or somehow blocking it. Maybe you might wanna take this into consideration too.

    Best Regards

    Thanks Guys,

    I have no idea what to look for or how to change anything regarding FSUIPC offsets so I will just use FS9 without RC for the time being. Unless its easy enough to explain how to do this I am happy flying without RC rather than mess things up at the moment.
    thanks again.
    Regards

    Keith

    Jackpilot,

    Yes I have on their forum, but they have pointed me now to Pete Dowson who made the FSUIPC program..

    Thumbs up

    Just an update...I have narrowed the problem down to the RADIO which interferes with RC. If I close down the RADIO IOCModule program then I can use RC. I have yet to test with the MCP on its own but I will do this tomorrow.

    Cheers

    Hi Riche,
    Not sure about you being the noob..I am very new to this my friend
    Now I am not sure if I am doing the right thing myself but this is how my setup is and it works so I dont tamper too much. I use SIOC to run the MCP and EFIS, but use the IOC module program
    http://www.opencockpits.com/modules....=getit&lid=327
    to run the radio. I have FSUIPC load up SIOC and that progam once FS is started and they run from the task bar.
    What I have found is if I shutdown the radio module program from the task bar I can then use RC.
    I hope I have made it clear, and if this is the wrong way to do things I hope someone can tell me
    Cheers

    Keith
