FSX with Precission Flight Controls and Serial connection

[OwenM]

I have been given a Precission Flight Controls  complete systems and after adding the Serial Dll it is mostly all going

 

I am not sure if you can remember back that far ago but in the serial configuration the front left Yoke Button is assigned to Autopilot off and and is greyed out. If I play with the Ini file is it possibe to remove the greyed out so I can assign it to something else.

I know this is very old software so dont worry if you cant remember.

I don't think this is possible. I am not sure what yoke you are using, but the PFC documentation states:

Quote

The Jetliner has 12 buttons (8 paired in rocker switches) and the Mooney and Beech yokes each have 6 buttons (4 paired in rocker switches). Of these, three are actually pre-assigned in the hardware/firmware: electric trim down and up on one rocker, and AP Engage/Disconnect on one button. To the driver, the latter is actually indistinguishable from the AP Eng button on the Avionics autopilot, so it cannot be user programmed. But the electric trim actually provides a different code to the driver from the trim rocker on the autopilot, so is re-programmable.

Note that there’s an option for the A/P disconnect button to also disconnect the Auto-Throttle (A/T). If you apply this option, it actually changes the control in the dropdown list from “A/P disconnect” to “A/P+A/T disconnect”, so it will affect anything else you’ve programmed to operate this control. It will also affect the A/P Eng button on the Avionics, since that it indistinguishable from the yoke button. This dual action applies to FS auto-throttle and to Project Magenta, but not to 767PIC.

Entries in the Page representing buttons that are not programmable are greyed out. So are those lines in the “Other Yokes” page which represent buttons not provided on the Beech and Mooney yokes.
