MCP Course Set - Offsets

[Rick Taylor]

Hi,

Can anyone tell me what the PM MCP Left & Right Course Setting (Read) Offsets
are please.

I can't seem to find them in the list.

Thanks

Rick

That's because PM doesn't provide those. They are the FS OBS values for VOR1
and VOR2. Check the FSUIPC offsets list -- there's one on the same PM
page.

Pete,

Thanks for the help.

Would I be right in saying then that PM MCP just interfaces with the FS OBS
values and displays/sets them, and that there is no actual programming
functionality in the PM MCP other than intercept parameters.

Just curious !

Until Enrico gets his "Beta A/P" fully working, there's probably nothing the
MCP will do with the course settings. The CDI (Course Deviation Indicator),
and the guidance for VOR/LOC modes, are, I think, currently left to FS to
calculate, GC to display. But Enrico will really be the only one who can
say whether it is used.
