Throttle Control Alternative for Phidgets

[diegov]

Maurice,

I need to correct my previous post. FSX does have an N1 offset. Logic now is so servos are powered when A/T is armed AND N1 hold or SPEED hold or TOGA is active.

You also need the VNAV selection to enable the A/T as well since selecting VNAV clears the speed selection on the MCP.

PS Thanks for the effort in this area, its been bugging me for years...

Diego,

I already found the offsets.

For anyone who is interested:

07DC = AP Airspeed holt
07EC = AP V/S Hold
080C = AP TOGA
07F4 = AP RPM Hold (N1)

Guys,

Here is a copy of the program.. Please note.. All care but no responsibilty when running it! Ill try my best to assist with any issues, but unfortunately i cannot really support it....

@Maurice, Vnav is not provided by the default FSX MCP AFAIK, you must use project magenta?

@Nat, The settings you have provided are PM specific, which i dont own. I might be able to download the demo at a later stage and try to make it compatible.

Please read the readme.txt, There are a few caveats with this first version such as throttle 1 and 2 must be on servo input 0 and 1 respectively and a few others

Hope someone finds it useful. Ill be looking at adding the trim indicator and trim wheel control to the program soon.

Cheers

Diego

Thanks heaps Diego. Would love to try it but my Sim is running PM.

Would it be hard to do a version for PM MCP? Please

Cheers,

Nat

Thanks Diego! I am in the middle of re-configuring my comps,
hopefully get to test it by end of weekend...

Great Nat,

Thanks. Im working on the same for the spoiler handle now and i've just exposed the velocity and acceleration values of the card so they are configurable. I'll also be adding a BITE test for the throttles. So if you can let me know whether the PM stuff works or what is missing.. that would be great.

Thanks

Diego
