Throttle Control Alternative for Phidgets

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.

Cheers
Diego

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

Hi Diego,

Can you tell me the N1 and Speed buttons FSUIPC offsets ?


Regards Wendy

These are form the Advanced FSUIPC user guide, hope it means
something to the software guru's...:)

2019 PM MCP A/T on
2020 PM MCP A/T off
2021 PM MCP THR mode button (N1)
2022 PM MCP SPD mode button
2023 PM MCP Mach/IAS sel
2024 PM MCP FLCH mode button
2025 PM MCP HDG mode button
2026 PM MCP VNAV mode button
2027 PM MCP LNAV mode button

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)


Regards, Wendy

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

Nat,

Try this and report back if you can:

Hopefully now with PM support :roll:

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

Nat

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
