PMDG B737-700 TOGA

[hermann]

Hello from Austria!

When I set TOGA (I have an own button for it) in PMDG 737-700 it is shown in PFD but in my MotorizedThrottle I cannot receiv it.

I use

0x080C 4 AUTOPILOT TAKEOFF POWER ACTIVE

but nothing is working.

With standard plane the same offset is working ok.

I hope someone can help here.

Thanks and best regards

Hermann

Many standard controls and offsets don't work with the PMDG 737 - you need to use either custom controls (using the Rotor Brake control) or presets.
Presets may be easier, and looking at https://hubhop.mobiflight.com/presets/ I can see the following which you can try:
    PMDG_B737-7_AUTOTHRUST_TOGA_L_BTN
    PMDG_B737-7_AUTOTHRUST_TOGA_R_BTN
Or assign to the Rotor Brake control, with a parameter of 68401 for the left button, and 68701 for the right button.
To use the Rotor Brake control with the PMDG 737, see this FAQ entry:

Ah, sorry - I think I misunderstood.... You have  the TOGA button working, but the offset is not updated and so the motorized throttle doesn't see it...
If that is the case, you need to determine if there is a different simvar or possibly an lvar that is updated instead. Once this has been found, you can either add that to a spare FSUIPC offset and use that, or you can add to an offset and spoof offset 0x080C to the value of the new offset.

Try listing the lvars to see if any look appropriate. I will also take a look at some point to see if I can see anything...

See what the following lvars hold and how they change when you set TOGA:
    XML_Airbus_Throttle1_TOGA
    XML_Airbus_Throttle2_TOGA

There are also the following, but probably less useful:
    TOGAPush
    TOGARelease
If the XML_* variables hold the correct TOGA state, you could use those...

Hi John!

 

Sorry for the long delay. 

Your first solution is working now via Mobiflight:

PMDG_B737-7_AUTOTHRUST_TOGA_L_BTN

Thanks for all your help and best regards from Austria:
