pelon Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 Pete, I have a question for you and I do not know if it has to be with FSUIPC. Here it goes I have Project Magenta software (MCP, GC, CDU), CPFlight MCP737 Pro, FSX, my problem is the following. Everything works perfectly, MCP, CDU, both software and hardware, but after leveled and instructed to descend lets says from 340FL to 20000 (i.e) I select speed to 290 IAS instead of MACH speed and the plane follows 290 IAS with no problem but when I reduce speed knob to lower setting then instead of reducing speed it increases again, the only way to follow speed is to select MACH instead of IAS (via de C/O button). Again if I select IAS the aircraft increase speed trying to follow MACH last selection, so the only way to follow specific speed is to use MACH instead of IAS but the problem is that MACH is not static since it changes from time to time depending on altitude so I have to keep changing the speed knob to accurate follow a specific speed. Just to let you know everything works with no problem (HDG, ALT, VNAV, LNAV, etc, etc), I have latest updates from PM, SP1 and SP2 for FSX and use PMDG model but I have tried with default FSX 737-800 and same problems, I also tried with older PM versions and nothing (MCP PM software is 4.38) If you need any other information please le me know Do you have any suggestions?

That sounds roughly like a PM MCP bug when used with FSX which I thought had been corrected in recent PM builds. I added a special FSUIPC fiddle to get over it in the earlier builds -- try "FiddleMachForPM=Yes" added to the [General] section of the FSUIPC4.INI file.

pelon Posted October 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 Pete, thanks a lot for your prompt reply, I tried it and it worked perfectly, now I can descend controlling Speed via IAS selector instead of MACH. besides your recomendation I also deleted every Gauge imput from Panel.cfg and keep only views settings. Any way I just wanted to let you know that is working now Best Regards Federico Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
