MCP questions

[Hans Krohn]

Hi all,

I have two questions:

1. what is the offset for toggling HPA and inch?

2. When toggling between MACH and SPD (c/o button), the mach number is
always .45, no matter what speed in mph I had set before. Shouldn't the MACH

number in the display be an equivalent of the mph speed dialed in befor the

toggle?

This happens on the Software MCP, no EPIC or FS-Communicator software
active.

Thanks,
Hans

Hi Hans,

>1. what is the offset for toggling HPA and inch?

I use this
$542A, Length 2 // GC_Keys_Control
you have to write dec. 45 to this Offset for toggling.

Thanks, Thomas!

Just for clarification - the offset document says for 542A "Glass Cockpit
and General Aviation IFR "Keyboard Interface" (2 bytes)"
and does not really explain what else to do. Why 45?

Can you shed some light on that?
Thanks in advance,

Hans

Hi Hans,

45 is the ASCII value for the key "Insert" which toggles HPA / Inches.

Pse see also the keyboard commands for the GC.

Hope this clarifies it.
