PMDG MCP P3D v4


Recommended Posts

Hi,

Have tried to set the altitude increase and decrease using the CTS288 encoder.
When I add custom control number 70032 which is the PMDG 738 command for altitude selector the altitude only increases whatever I set in the parameter box.

If I set -100 it still increases altitude but I cannot find anything about the parameters so set for increase and decrease.
What are the parameters??
Am totally confused. Do not suggest LINDA cause that does not work at all for me, I cannot do anything with Linda it seems to be some kind of "hope" software that does not work.

I turn the CTS288 left then I should be able to set the parameter to something that will decrease the value on the display but whatever I set it only increases.
What am I doing wrong here??

Problem solved. There is a value for the parameter to set for increase and decrease.
However strange that it does not work with -100 and +100, that would have been easiest way. Now the controls are about 16000 for increase and about 8000 for decrease the value....very strange and hard to find.

As far as I know (and I don't use PMDG aircraft) the commands offered are actually representations of the way the mouse is used on the switches and knobs. For those which using the mouse turn the knob one way or the other, the mouse left and right click is used.

The commands have the relevant Windows MOUSE code as parameter. 

For this reason, the document in which you find the numbers of the commands also lists the relevant mouse codes. Please do take a look.

Also please note that this is really more a matter for the PMDG support forums. I cannot really undertake to support other software than my own.
