The above is correct except for the last sentence....I do under stand what you are saying but I just don't know how much more I can explain it to you. If I load the 747-400 and make a specific profile [Profile.747] 1=PMDG 747 for (example) switch 6 to control the left runway light. It will operate the Left Runway light in all 747-400. But If I restart the sim and load into a 747-400F the same switch operates the autoignition. When I go to "profile specific checkbox" it auto populates that switch as the Left Runway Light on the a 747- (and yes it says that on top left "aka will not give me the option to make a new profile") even though Im in the 400F.. Attached is my.ini for further prof. If you would like me to make a video I can It appears we are going in circles. FSUIPC6.ini

Ok after making profiles for the CS 757, CS 767, QW 787, PMDG 737 (600-900), PMDG 777 (200/77F/77W), and the PMDG747 (400/400F/800/800F) I can confirm it is an issue with the way PMDG is coding/wording their switches on the 777 and 747. I had no issues with the any other aircraft expect those 2 stated above. After over a days worth of trail and error I do believe I can safely say I have gotten this figured out. I can live with having to go back to mouse clicks on the non 400f variants (since the 747 is mostly cargo now and that will be the variant I will fly most out of them). Thank you for the quick responses. p.s. I will try any other suggestions that do not involve having to redo all my profiles! LOL

I understand where you are coming from and I have just been naming the profile the same as the the corresponding number beneath it and shortening the name. [Profile.PMDG 777] 1=PMDG 777 For some reason the 77W all the switches work, the same as the switches on the 77-200 an 77f (10+) expect for the 3 landing lights (nose/r wing/l wing) since they do not operate those lights on the 777-300. I had to map open switches for just those 3. I am now working on the 747 and the same issue between the 400 and 400f varant. Only the taxiway lights work across them. The switch for the R runway light works that specific function on the -400 but on the 400F it turns on auotignition. I do not know what more to say or explain. I am pretty sure it is not your (fsuipc) code issue. I believe PMDG coded the switches different between the aircraft variants. It is just that the 737 is their newest product and they used the same code across all of the panels.

Will have to use work around. My SW6 switch on the x56 is profiled for the Right Runway light on the 747-400, but the same switch turns on the AutoStart in the overhead on the -400f. It appears to me its a code issue somewhere on the PMDG side

I had already deleted this entry to try to find a solution. But I thought this as well. I did my 777 profile is the same layout as the 747 you stated above: [Profile.PMDG 777] 1=PMDG 777 And it has the same issue between the 777-300 and the 777-200/77F. Buttons worked correctly on the 77F/-200/-300 except 3 (landing lights) did not on the -300. I have found a work around for now unless you have another solution I could test. EDIT: did a quick test on the 747-400. Landing lights work on the -400 version, but does not work on the corresponding -800 or 400F. [Profile.PMDG 747] 1=PMDG 747

I mean I hit the profile specific checkbox then hit the corresponding button on my x56 and it shows its the(example)747-400 landing light, but I am in the 747-400f

Ok. I have finally figured it out. PMDG did not code/log the same switch entries across the different variants for the most part (77W,74F,748) like they did with the 737 version (600-700-800-900). Some of the switches are coded different such that even though it populates as the same profile (ex 77W vs 77L) some of the switches do now work with the profile. I ended up having to make 2 different switches do the same thing across different variants (ex 77W landing lights are toggle 2/3/4 up on the x56 throttle while on the 77l variant they are SW2/4/6). Seems to be a pmdg issue.

Here is the updated .ini. And I am sorry you are incorrect. *unless I am missing something*. Just profiled the 777. All the buttons work across the variants of -200 and 77F: However, all the actions work except the buttons I programed (specific profile) for the landing lights. Only those are the ones that do not operate on the 77w. And yes if I go to the button menu in fsuipc and click profile specific, hit the switch on my x56 that I have programmed for the nose landing light (that does operate the light on the 77L and 77F) it populates as the 777 profile specific button, but it does not operate it on the 77W. Same for the L/R landing lights. All other programmed operations work that are profile specific. So I do believe we are both correct its just that the 77W has different PMDG logged parameters for the switch and the 74f-748 are different then the -400. Even thought the buttons shows it assigned to a certain switch *via making macros* it is in PMDG logs different. FSUIPC6.ini

I have read this. I did and it is/ My original set up for the 737-800 was in the United paint and would only work for the -800 variants. I had to change the profile name in the .ini to PMDG 737 to work across all variants. Is this in the .ini? Can not find it in the userguide. I am sorry but this is incorrect. I cleared out the profile and made a few (taxi and rwy lights) micros to switches for the -400f. They worked on the 400f only not the -400. Did vice versa 400 only worked on the 400 not the -400f. I had to go into the profile and change the function for each button for the different variants. Basically I had to make 2 profile button imputes and switch them within fsuipc (button config) if I want to fly the different variants. PMDG must have them logged different between variants. Example the R Rwy light on/off switch in the PMG 747-400 is the autoignition button on the 747-400f. I noticed this during the last test. Btw v6.0.11

I am new to fsuipc profiles. I have a new x56 and am trying to set up the 744 profile to work across all 747 a/c types with P3Dv4.5. When I set up the 737 I changed the profile name to PMDG 737 for it to work across all a/c types (737s) and liveries. However I can only get the 747 to work across all the 747-400 liveries but none of the 400F and 800 versions. And on top of that, I went to make a new profile for the 400f/800 versions but when I try to select Profile specific checkbox. then hit the corresponding button, it populates the 400 profile. But again when I go back to verify the button STILL does not work (landing lights, strobes, etch) The only one that seems to work across all aircraft types is the Taxi light. Any help or am I just out of luck?
