Thanks for the reply, Pete. The text comes from my ERJ training manual, so I guess its correct. I'll just wait for Enrico then!

Pete, You could well be right - I can't find anything in the PM docs relating to this. However, in my FSUIPC 4 ini file I have this line "DisconnTrimForAP=No", so presumably it has some function. In my ERJ manual it says: "A quick disconnect button is installed n the control wheel. Pressing this button will temporarily disconnect all trim systems. Releasing this button will allow trim systems to operate." To make matters more complicated I am using the PM 737 MCP, connected to the FDS ERJ Autopilot hardware, so I don't have a CWS button that I can see, or touch. On the bright side, I don't have any grandkids yet, but did have some friends over for a Sunday BBQ whose daughters did great deal of stress testing on the yokes for me - you know the wham wham side to side sort! I dont know about you, but I bravely said "No they can't do any harm, only to spend 20 minutes sorting out PM RJ screens again after their short visit - next time lock the screens!

Pete, I now have everything working as a joystick button, and although I have things FSX cannot support (nosewheel lock) etc I have a question regarding the PM A/P. I have a A/P disconnect button, but where can I find the button for the A/P Trim disconnect? This as far as I know, is used for short movements of the yoke, when you want to over rule the A/P for some reason. Thanks

Thanks anyway Pete. I will press on and try to resolve.

Pete, I rather cleverly connected my new Routech yoke buttons to my FDS SYS3 card, but can't find a way to make them work. They are elev trim up/down, A/P trim disconnect, A/P disconnect, PTT Talk, PTT Intercom, Nose Wheel Lock, and Chrono start/stop. etc etc. I aslo wired some switches from the pedestal to the same card. I can see these assignments from FSUIPC buttons page,(as I had it before with my previuos controller) but I cant find a way to assigning the via the FSUIPC dropdown menu in FDS Interface IT. I have the card connected to the CDU PC, so some I can assign direct via PM Systems ie TOGA=THR, but others like the ones described above and park brake, I cant assign in IT Interface. Please can you help me find the right way to go? Many Thanks Paul Wood
