  1. That’s amazing! Nice work. Even the paint color looks identical. I might give the yoke a shot one of these days.
  2. Just confirmed that NAV page fix for the map range control doesn’t work in RL, but it does in P3D! 😄 That’s a great looking setup you have there. I would love to see more pictures and where you picked up some of that hardware like the yoke and throttles? Or is that from a flight safety Procedures Trainer or something?
  3. Wow, that is quite the find. Nice! Worked for me as well. Not ideal, but for a workaround you could map a macro to bring up the NAV page then use macros on the rotary to change the map range. The radio function of the FMS radio is correct. I’ll have to double check, but I’m pretty sure the map functions (range and waypoint sequencing) are only adjustable on the CCD rotary in the plane.
  4. I don't currently have my TrackIR setup so I can't 100% confirm this works. However, I also use VC and I am able to use the FSUIPC mouse macro function to bind the FPA functions to my device. I think this should work while using TrackIR as well. The macros are under the Buttons & Switches tab in FSUIPC. If you are interested in trying this method here is a YouTube video I referenced, (107) Prepar3d | FSUIPC | Macros and Assignments - YouTube These are the steps I took: -Open FSUIPC (paid version) in P3D, go to the 'Buttons & Switches' tab -Select 'Create Mouse Macro' on the bottom left corner, then click OK. -Give it a name eg. ERJ, click OK -Unpause the sim, mouse wheel up over FPA knob. When the command dialog comes up give it a name eg. FPA Increase, press enter. Repeat for FPA decrease and any other function you want. -Open FUSIPC, 'Buttons & Switches' tab, click 'End Macro Making'. -Select the button you would like to bind to one of the macros you just created. It should show up in the top middle of the settings window. -Click 'Select for FS control' on the right side. -Select the drop down under 'Control sent when button pressed' and select the macro you desire -Repeat for other controls you want to bind to your macros. I tried creating mouse macros with the map range. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to figure out a way to make this one work. If the rotary on the CCD worked to control map range like the real aircraft it would work. Maybe the developer could look at adding the actual CCD functions on the CCD itself in addition to controlling the MFDs with the mouse.
  5. I just tested the FPA button and knob on the MCP panel. I was able to get both to work using FSUIPC mouse macros. I used a pushbutton on my button box for the FPA mode selector, then created two other macros on the FPA knob by using the mouse wheel up for increase and down decrease. I bound the FPA knob increase and decrease macros to a rotary encoder. I was able to manipulate FPA just fine this way. I had to make sure the sim wasn't paused when creating the macro on the FPA knob with the mouse wheel to be recognized correctly. Hope that helps.
  6. Well, I just ended up going with FSUIPC. Using the mouse macros works great and is quick and simple. Thanks for the tip!
  7. Thanks Neil. I don’t have experience with or own any of that software. Which one would you recommend as far as ease of use? Spadnext sounds simple enough, but the mouse macro through fsuipc interests me for situations that might not have key bind mappings.
  8. I would like to map several of the keyboard commands from the EMB configuration tool, ‘keyboard’ tab for the V3 E175/190 to my honeycomb bravo throttle. There seem to be several commands there for the autopilot that I cannot find in P3Dv5 key bindings menu that work. Is there a way to do this with the emb config tool? For example the FLCH or toggle AT buttons only appear to work through the emb config tool keyboard command, but I would like to map these to the Bravo. Can someone point me in the right direction how I might do this? Thanks in advance.
