Hi Peter, Yes this is the HDG hold button on the AP. Ok, here is one of my problems, whereby I don't know which of the above it is, and the documents provided don't clearly specify this. I will attach the document for you to have a look at maybe I'm missing something. Is there a tutorial or something else that I may benefit from that you can suggest to help me with determining the type of offsets to use, or is this design specific, meaning it depends on what the product developer used, therefore dictating the offset type? Ok I don't think there is any problem with this unless the the hex is not "Five Zero, Charlie Zero". Does the "c" have to be upper case? No there are no column headings unfortuntely. "A2" meaning what exactly? I have been trying without much luck until very recently to get some clarification. I have an extract from the only document that is suppose to tell me how to use FSUIPC and configure FMS etc... This may help. Thanks again for the support, John. Regards Pete

Hi all, I recently purchased the Dash 8 from Majestic also the registered FSUIPC4 . I'm up to the part of setting up the Autopilot key presses etc... but can't get the autopilot buttons working because I think there is a gap in my understanding of offsets, parameters and what control type to use. Here is what I'm trying to do. Basically configure "Num7" to be the Autopilot HDG key for the majestic dash. In my Majestic document it says the following (extract below), but I don't know what this translates to as far as the FSUIPC GUI under Key Presses for the "Control Sent when key pressed", "Offset" and "Parameter" values. "...............To assign any key or joystick button, go to the fsuipc menu (it must be a registered copy of fsuipc), to the keystrokes assignment page, and assign to a desired keystroke the fsuipc offset write function. Here is the table of the values that must be written to 50C0 offset to control the particular Dash 8 function (use the last number from a table):................ the APHDG AUTOPILOT HDG 201 1 12865" Thanks,
