Pete Problem solved-thought you might like to know the cause. In the ERJ Configuration Utility there is a Tab labeled "Joystick". There is an option under this Tab to assign an "Autopilot quick disconnect button". Button 26 was assigned this function. As a result, it was sending a double signal to the autopilot when Button 26 was pressed. I cleared this assignment and everything works as designed. Thank you for your help, the logging option helped me to look elsewhere for the cause of the problem. This is a great program! Tony

Pete I did not assign actions to both the "Press" and "Release", but I did do more investigation based upon your input. Holding down the button has no effect but if I assign the macro to "Press" it will turn off the autopilot (AP) but pressing again will not turn the AP back on. If I assign the macro to "Release" it will turn the AP on but pressing it again will not turn the AP back off. Now this is what is very strange - the button I am presently referring to is number 26 on the Throttle (Autopilot Engage/Disengage). If I assign this macro to "Press" on button 21 (L/G WRN), it works perfectly - press it once it turns the AP on, press it again it turns the AP off. I turned off the joystick in FS9 to assure no other actions were tied to button 26, I completely remove FSUPIC, cleaned out the registry, deleted all FSUPIC files in the modules folder, re-installed FSUPIC, - it did not fix the problem. I also verified using the Target script editor that buttons 26 and 21 send exactly the same signals (1 on Press, 0 on release). Is there somewhere else I can look that might be storing old data for button 26? Tony

The following mouse macro toggles the autopilot on/off on a Wilco ERJ 145. [Macros] Module="ERJ_main.GAU" 1=AP 1.1=RXd4a10*X8bcc It works perfectly when I assign it to a toggle switch on my Thrustmaster Warthog throttle but when I assign it to a push button it cycles to on/off in a single push. I've tried adding the parameters 11 and 17, I've also tried assigning "do nothing" to the release cycle. Nothing seems to work. thanks in advance for any insight.
