    Hi Ray,
    There 're new updates on the PM Website.
    (I tested the 502 Version and it's ok.)

    Regards

    Hi Pierre,

    I'll download the latest versions and see what's changed. Pleased 502 works for you.

    Hi Ray,

    I tested the new version of the MCP 507D.
    The autobrake works perfectly!

    Re: MCP 507 - RTO resetting to Off

    Hi Pierre,

    Excellent! Enrico must have found what he'd 'broken' and fixed it.

    Can I ask you about N1 settings in the CDU? I use TopCat and PFPX and TopCat calculates de-rated take-offs including N1.

    However, when I insert that de-rated temperature into the N1 Limit screen it calculates the wrong N1 value. It's so far off it's not even close.

    Can you confirm if this happens to you? I have to put a stupid temperature into it (128C) to get a correct N1. If you would rather discuss this in a separate topic I'm happy to create one.

    Re: MCP 507 - RTO resetting to Off

    Hi Pierre,

    I've just tried 507c and nothing has changed. The autobrake is still broken. RTO doesn't stick and none of the autobrake settings stay at what you set. If you want to check open FSUIPC and go to the logging tab. On the right choose IPC, 2F80, U16 and Display to FS Title Bar (or whatever you wish).

    Now press RTO. You'll see the offset change briefly from 1 (Off) to 0 (RTO) but it then changes back to 1 even though the EICAS shows RTO.

    Re: MCP 507 - RTO resetting to Off

    Hi Ray,
    in your .ini file did you change the following line:
    UsePMAutobrakes=Off
    / Enables the PM Auto Brake, do not
    / use the FS autobrake system at
    / the same time

    Regards

    Pierre

    I did Pierre but every time I exit the MCP and view mcp.ini Enrico has changed it back to On. It's outrageous he's doing that. Only the user should change settings in the ini file - not the program.

    Make sure that the MCP.exe is not running when you edit the ini file.

    Re: MCP 507 - RTO resetting to Off

    I do but the change is not made by me, it's made by the program. I've had personal correspondence with Enrico on this but the problem remains.

    Can anyone else get usepMAutobrakes=Off to stick?
