Pete: I finally got a chance to play with the software last night and here is what happened: FSUIPS Version 3.45 WideFS Version 6.45 I was not able to get the PM MCP VS mode button to work. I tried triggering it with a keystroke assignment and that did not work either. Next I attempted using the PM MCPKcode setting and set the parameter to "31" per documentation. That did not work. The next step I tried was to make sure I was setting FSUIPC up properly by setting the MCPKcode for something that is working (i.e. PM MCP FLCH). Well... after using the MCPKcode to assign the FLCH button, that didn't work. When I returned that button to the standard method of assignment (the drop-down assignment selection) it worked again. The logs do not indicate any errors, so I am stumped. I would like to try to enter the button assignment by hand in the INI, but I am not too sure how it is suppose to be formatted. 1=P8,6, , ? PM documents indicate the offset is 0x5410, 4 bytes (double word), and the VS is bit 31. The bit needs to be toggled as you indicated. I tried entering: 1=P8,6,x0F005410,x80000000 but that did not work. Is that entry correct? I see that x04F2 is a "throughpass". Does that mean that I have to use that offset to gain access to x5410? As you can tell I am a bit confused about how this works. :wink: Since I am not able to get any of the buttons to work via the MCP Kcode, I am sure I am missing something here in my method. Any suggestions? Chris

Thanks for the quick reply Pete. I am using the latest version of your software, but I will remember to post that in the future :wink: The VS is set in FSUIPC via the drop-down selection for the button assignmentsI think it was pm_mcp_vs_mode or something like that. I will go back and RTFM for the Advanced Users because I am a little confused by how to enter some of that stuff by hand, thus why I used the drop-down menu options for button assignments. I will let you know if I have any questions on that. I will also test the software as you suggested and post an update to this thread upon completion. Cheers, Chris

I am having trouble that I suspect might be caused by FSUIPC or WideFS... here is a summary of the problems: First, I cannot get the VS mode on my PM MCP to engage with an EPIC button. The button on our physical MCP for VS is working properly and is seen by FSUIPC. I assign it to the PM MCP VS button assignment in FSUIPC but when I push the physical button, there is no reaction in the PM MCP (the corresponding button in the software does not engage). I have double checked the FSUIPC assignment and confirmed that the button is working and seen by FSUIPC. the PM MCP is running on a seperate PC but many other functions work properly leading me away from thinking WideFS is the problem. Any Ideas? Second, just like the VS button, the IAS/MACH button on my PM MCP is giving me a similar problem. However, when I press the physical IAS/MACH button to toggle the speed mode (again, assigned via FSUIPC) the IAS display window in the PM MCP software goes from displaying the current speed to displaying MACH for less than one second and then displays "000". Pressing the button again does nothing and I have to click on the corresponding IAS/MACH button in the PM software with a mouse to get back into IAS or MACH mode. Third, when selecting a toggle switch on my EFIS panel (VORL or ADFL for example), while the toggle is in the on position, the PM MCP/GC VORL or ADFL flutters on and off as though it was a repeating input. I doublechecked the EPL code and it is being output strictly as a standard joystick button. I have other toggle buttons on the MCP which are wired and programmed in the same method and they are not having this problem. PM's Support advised that they cannot help because they are EPIC related, Ralph Robinson (EPIC) related that the coding is correct for a simple joystick button output for FSUIPC to assign, so this is my last hope for help on these. Any suggestions? Chris
