    Michel,

    I had almost exactly the same problem but with older Phidgets version & FSX. When disconnecting A/T with a switch on my throttle, it would also disconnect the A/P and the N1 light would come on and the plane would start to climb with N1 power when I was trying to land.

    After many frustrating hours, I closely examined the lists of offsets in one of the ini file I had created in the FSVariable folder under FS2Phidgets (My Offsets.ini). These below are the offset settings that solved my problem. My sim is a 737 but I think this should work for you as well. The really important part here is the line that says "partner=" Since the bits are independent, the partner number should always be the same number as the particular bit required for that function. For some reason, some of my offsets had a different 'partner' (usually 0) and I believe that was causing my problem. At least I think so since it started to work after I corrected the offsets. Of course there is always the big 'coincidence' factor that can come into play at times.
    When you create an offset with the Phidgets FS Variable editor, by default if it is a part of a bitmap offset, it gives it a partner of 0 (instead of none). But bit 0 (partner 0) happens to be the TOGA offset, so when I activated the A/T disconnect, I believe it also triggered TOGA at the same time. At least that's my theory, but bottom line, whatever the reason, fixing the partner solved my problem

    Hope this helps,

    Maurice

    Here are what some of my offsets look like now:

    [MCP_TOGA]
    Offset=050A
    Length=2
    FSType=Bitmap
    Bit=0
    Partner=0
    Format=###########
    Multiplier=1
    Divisor=1
    Integer=False
    NormalizeAngle=False
    WriteOnly=False

    [MCP_A/T_DISCONNECT]
    Offset=050A
    Length=2
    FSType=Bitmap
    Bit=2
    Partner=2
    Format=###########
    Multiplier=1
    Divisor=1
    Integer=False
    NormalizeAngle=False
    WriteOnly=False

    [MCP_A/P_DISCONNECT]
    Offset=050A
    Length=2
    FSType=Bitmap
    Bit=1
    Partner=1
    Format=###########
    Multiplier=1
    Divisor=1
    Integer=False
    NormalizeAngle=False
    WriteOnly=False

    [TOGA_Mode_Active]
    Offset=051C
    Length=2
    FSType=Bitmap
    Bit=2
    Partner=2
    Format=###########
    Multiplier=1
    Divisor=1
    Integer=False
    NormalizeAngle=False
    WriteOnly=False
    WriteOnly=False

    Re: FS2Phidget 4.2.9

    I know you posted this message a long time ago, but exactly how do you use a "push button" to disengage the A/T through a Phigets interface, your help would be appreciated very much.

    I have made a TQ and have the TOGA and A/T dissegage buttons wired up, I can initiate the TOGA command through the MCP SB EL, but can't find a way to disengage the A/T at all,I have triedto assign a keyboard command through FSUPIC to the push button, however that doesn't seam to work at all, any help would be gratefully received

    Daveanne
