Has anyone managed to work out how to operate the autopilot altitude setting knob (Bendix King KFC 225) on the Real Air Simulations SIAI Marchetti SF260? I have all the other buttons, switches and knobs sorted but this one defeats me. I have followed guenseli's post on finding macros and logging LVars without much success. I am trying to operate the knob using a dual concentric rotary encoder via Leo Bodnar's BU0836X board. The com and nav radios are working perfectly. As a quick side note; many thanks to guenseli for all the information he has made available and also of course to Pete for FSUIPC which gets better and better. Philip

Dave, I am glad to have helped indirectly. I love the PMDG 747X particularly as I have a friend who is a BA 747 Cpt. He very kindly spends a couple of hours with me every now and then showing me how things are done for real. I have been following your other thread re. macros and will be interested to see how you get on. Regards, Philip

Pete, Brilliant - works perfectly - many thanks. Philip

Pete, Thankyou - I will give it a go tonight and see what happens. Philip

I have read the previous posts about fuel control switches so hope that this is not going over old ground in a post I have missed. I am using the PMDG 747 in FSX with a registered copy of FSUIPC v4.50. As far as I am aware and having tried all the obvious options, the fuel control switches do not respond to any 'stock' commands. I have successfully assigned a mouse macro to the first switch and this works perfectly. I have recorded and saved macros for 2, 3 & 4 and even though the mouse operates the correct switch all the macros operate switch 1. I have confirmed this using the tab key to test the macro before saving. All other macros for A/T, Flight Director etc work perfectly. Is this an issue with the way the guage is programmed or am I missing something?
