Cut Off / MCPEX1 and PMSystems

[carlos hermida]

Hi,

I am trying to set 2 switches (on/off) for CUTOFF 1 and CUTOFF 2 to work with MCPEX1 and PM Systems but with no luck, this the first time i am trying to use hardware with pmsystems, so any help will be apreciate

Here are what i have done:

. switches are connected to MCPEX1 and working (ON and OFF) with cpflight tools test
. there is no PM CUTOFF to select with cpflighttools digital IN menu but i have the offsets showing with my pm systems cutoff view and shows:

CUTOFFL 0x561A Bit 0 for engine 1 VALUE=ON
CUTOFFR 0x561A Bit 1 for engine 2 VALUE=ON

So what i need to do next and where to make then to work?

Thanks in advance !!!

Carlos

You have to check the offsets. I think they are different if you use PM.
I could have a look to that later ... if you whish.

Hi

I don't know this board works or its driver / software but I think you need to add this lines to the DigitalIN.cfg

"PMS CUTOFF 1","&H561A",1,&HFE,1,3
"PMS CUTOFF 2","&H561A",1,&HFD,2,3

I cannot test if it will work, just try it.

I think it should looks like this, but it is "blind" work for me because I cannot try annything!

"PM A/T DISCONNECT","&H4F2",2,0,16,1

Will try now....

One thing that i note with cutoff is that every time i start the first time CUTOFF SWITCH both goes ON (1 and 2) on pmsytems cutoff after that both works indenpendent like it should ,if i first set on then off each switch then it works normally. It only occurs with the first time i start my SIM....any idea? Its like i need to reset the switches first...

1/ is in pmSystems menu (ESC) set that hardware is used ?
2/ normally if you enter the Cockpit they should be in ON (Cuttoff) position

Thomas,

About CUTOFF you are right, pmsystems hardware was set to OFF, now works great !!! and A/T now disconnects the SPEED button on my MCP. Need to check why don't hear any advise sound when a/t is disconnected, only A/P, could be something with pm sounds?

You can define it a well in pmSounds in the soundlist.txt.

Just try (never tried this one)
