Good morning Pete! Yes, the reason for this assignment ist that the 737 has many dimmers for panel lightning spread all over the cockpit. I'd love to dim them all with 1 axis on the throttle, and with another axis I'd like to dim all the floodlights. Will try the macro this evening! Regards Thomas!

Hi Pete, just one more question: Is it somehow possible to add more than 4 assignments to an axis? I'd like to assign 6 custom events (69691 and 69726) for the internal lighting of the PMDG 737 to an axis... Inside the control panel are only options for 4 assignments, and adding them into the .ini after the exisiting (and working) 4 assignments doesn't work - here is the relevant line: 4=0T,R0,F,69960,70142,69727,70389 -{ TO SIM: Custom control: <69960>, Custom control: <70142>, Custom control: <69727>, Custom control: <70389> }- Do you have any idea? Have a nice evening, Regards Thomas!

Hey Pete, problem is solved :-) I found another PMDG Event_ID that changes just the value of the setting in the cockpit (but doesn't animate the rotary knob). Works perfect - even when assigning the axis on "the left side"! Adding the "Fiddle Factors" in the .ini file was also succesful :-) Thanks a lot for your help (even on weekend)!! Regards Thomas - very satisfied customer!!

Hey Pete, when assigning the "axis" to a regular aircraft, it does the job perfectly: up and down, from 0 to 255 (raw). In PMDG, when assigning as "axis", you can see that the rotary knob of the 737 is turning right and left when you turn the knob on the joystick. But unfortunately, the number in the display of the 737 just increases. When I use range facility on right side, the rotary knob on the plane doesn't move at all, neither the number in the display. Do I have to set other settings in this tab ("Set" 1, "from" 0 "to" 255, "up" checked, "control sent" <70022>, "parameter" 1; "Set" 2, "from" 0 "to" 255, "down" checked, "control sent" <70022>, "parameter" 1 Okay, you got me on the wrong foot [as you say in germany] - I was wondering about the advanced manual around mentioned side 45 (which I really don't understand). The correct chapter on page 36 is clearly understood (shame on me) :-) Regards Thomas (who is quite happy about his junior school :-))

Hi Pete, thanks for your fast response!! I mapped the 2 axes with RAW and delta 1 to the PMDG Custom Control, now the switches in the cockpit rotate (but only increase, no decrease). Could you please explain a little more about the mentioned "fiddle factors" in your answer? The chapter in the advanced user manual is a little too complicated for me :-( This is tge part of the INI File with axes: [Axes] PollInterval=10 RangeRepeatRate=10 0=0Y,R0,D,4,0,0,0 -{ DIRECT: Throttle }- 1=0Z,R1,F,70022,0,0,0 -{ TO SIM: Custom control: <70022> }- 2=0R,R1,F,70016,0,0,0 -{ TO SIM: Custom control: <70016> }- 3=1X,256,D,1,0,0,0 -{ DIRECT: Aileron }- 4=1Y,256,D,2,0,0,0 -{ DIRECT: Elevator }- 5=1R,256,D,3,0,0,0 -{ DIRECT: Rudder }- Thanks a lot, Thomas!

Hi there, I use the registered version of FSUIPC (5.124) with P3D V4.2 together with a Saitek X56 HOTAS. Just tried to assign two axes of the throttle (JOY 0, Axes Z and R) to my PMDG 737, MCP_Speed_Selector (Event-ID 70016) and MCP_ Heading_Selector (Event-ID 70022), which are both rotary switches. The range of the axes is from 16383 to -16384 (in raw from 0 - 255). I want to set the range for MCP_Speed_selector from 100 (axis full left) to 250 (axis full left), the range for MCP_Heading_Selector shall be from 0 to 359. What kind of settings do I have to make in FSUIPC to achieve this?? I've already tried a lot of settings - but not successfull so far. The rotary switches in the cockpit are turning, but either upwards not downwards (setting in raw) or not continuos (setting calibrated). Could someone please give me advice??? Thanks in advance, regards Thomas! FSUIPC5.ini FSUIPC5.log
