MCP Kcodes (by Param)

[Thomas321]

Hi,

It seems,the MCP Kcodes (by Param) - Facility is not working.

Maybe i understand it wrong... Kcodes means KEY-Codes...?

whatever...

I select it,and enter "70" as the Parameter- 70 = "F"

"F" is on the PM-FCU ->Flight Director Button

But it doesn´t work.

---

Controlling the GlassCockpit with "PM GC Keys" works normal.

but there is also a Problem.

I have to press the Button 2 times to enable a Function...

...but i think this is PM-related...

Thank you

Best Regards,

Thomas

No, it means the MCP Kcodes as defined in the "FSUIPC Offsets" documentation from Project Magenta's website. I'd advise you to download that and use it for reference.

I'm not surprised. According to the PM document:

N11 K070 VOR1

Meaning, I think, that the K code "70" operates the VOR1 switch on the EFIS.

I am not aware of such a problem, but you are correct. ALL of the PM controls offered in FSUIPC are PM-related -- FSUIPC merely operates the bits and values as documented in the PM FSUIPC offsets document. The rest is up to PM.
