@kroswynd said: Thanks, so the syntax is correct. Just out of curiosity. can you swap the AP disengage with the TCS and see if you get any response from the TCS when engaged in flight plz. Do you use any 3rd party add-on that can any acce…

Hmmm. A question. I have just noticed that if I click the AP button on the front panel, with my mouse, the autopilot disconnects, and no disconnect sound plays. The same thing happens if I press the fire button (button 1) on my joystick. A subsequen…

Yes, the file sharing page I used deletes the file when somebody downloads it. I have uploaded it again for you: https://file.io/y7wXhCIO8N6C I also re-added the line "J2_b0=AFCS_->inputs.AP_disengage" back in to the ini (and not commented…

I assume you have checked the Engine Controls tab in the Control Panel? .

This may be a help for Kroswynd ... here is a comparison screenshot. Like you, I'm running the latest version of P3D 4.5 with no third party shaders. My Q400 is the PRO Edition (v1.024) without the Visual Package. However, in my sim, I do have…

No. No software. It's a USB joystick and is using the Windows built-in drivers. So there should be nothing (that I know of) locking the ability of assigning that button. (I haven't mentioned this yet, because I don't want to come across as bei…

Jax, I see you have replied to Kroswynd. Our posts were pretty much at the same time, so you may have missed my explanation above.
-
Guys, No. Sorry ... let me explain. I am very aware that the semi-colon "comments out" the line. I did orginally have that semi-colon removed ... and the autopilot disconnect didn't work, thus starting this series of posts. After running …

Jax, Thanks for your help. Here is a link to my zipped up ini: https://file.io/znfnXwXPDtUQ I will be interested in your findings. My suspicion is that having my joystick's button 1 set within P3D under "Autopilot master (On/Off)" is th…

Jax, yes, I have checked my P3D settings for duplicated assignments in P3D. I have fallen for that trap before. I even double-checked them again when I could not get this to work -- there's no duplicates. FSUIPC reports it as Joystick 0, butto…

Apologies all for the multiple, duplicated posts above. The forum didn't look like it was posting, and I kept hitting the "Post Comment" button. Admins, feel free to delete the duplicates.
-
Thanks Jax. That excellent utility/tool will give me joystick axis details ... X, Y and Z (ailerons, elevator and rudder) ... which I already have in my ini, and which are working fine. However, it doesn't, unfortunately, give me details about…

Further testing has revealed that the parameter I have for AP_disengage in my ini file is, in fact, not working. (Yes, I have eaten a bit of humble pie here.) I have J2_b0=AFCS_->inputs.AP_disengage in my ini file. J2 is definitely the cor…
-
Thankyou for the reply, Kroswynd. The "Z" key has been "disabled" in the Dash 8 for autopilot disconnection? And since v1.0.0.9? Wow. I wasn't aware of that. That is handy to know. As per my original post, I have indeed already assigned aut…

I was not aware of any new version until I read this thread. So I went to the User Area and found "mjc8-400-Pro-1_024_x64-inst.exe" there. This is a later version than the installer I had previously saved and stored away. So I hope this 1_024 inst…

I have the following notes in a text file. I cannot recall where I copied them from; it may have been from the old forum ... -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Depending on your controller setup and which weather software you are using, t…

I am using P3D v4.5. I recently updated my Navigraph files and had no issues. This is the path in the "Navigraph FMS Data Manager" program: "my_flight_simulator_folder\SimObjects\Airplanes\mjc8q400" ... and the files actually end up in: "my…

I found the following thread with a quick forum search: majesticsoftware.com/forums/discussion/comment/1892#Comment_1892 Could the suggestion in that thread (MOON_PHASE_LIGHTING=False) perhaps help? = - = - = - = - = - = - = - = - = - = - = -…

@CalumWE said: I have worked out that if I select the first waypoint in the DTO page of the Captain's CDU, then the Captains CDU and ND work as expected and display the waypoints of the flight plan. I have just read this thread. And, as …

Considering the rock solid 30FPS and the "butter smoothness" with other study level aircraft, with the settings you have listed, you are right to think the stuttering is probably not caused by wrong or incorrectly optimized graphic options ... but, …

A small addition to what I've written above. If you run your tests and decide you do want to stick with using the frame rate limiter within the Nvidia Control Panel, then, for the sim, the same "rule" applies that I mentioned in my previous post ..…
-
* Are you using a third-party frame limiter program? If yes, then try disabling it or not using it when flying the Dash and test again. * In the sim, have you set frame rates to "Unlimited" or have you set them limited to some number (for exampl…

@Boss said: i wonder if this is a problem with a particular simulator. I never seen the lights come suddenly as a "bang" as DarrenH describe. Could you tell us which flight simulator version you are using ? Whilst I cannot speak for Darre…

@kroswynd said: Click spots is something that we try to avoid in our flight deck unless it aids the single pilot work load Thanks for the additional info regarding the correct logic of the intake plugs and pitot covers. Personally, I w…
-
Whilst I do not use GSX, it did occur to me a bit strange that an option to remove the intake covers was not coded in to the FMC in a similar way to "GPU Request", "Gear Pins" and "Deice". I do appreciate that the intake covers were added as part o…

Thanks for that detailed information. That's great news. I am now off to make my purchase.

Wow. I live in Australia and didn't even know about that route. Looks like I'll need to fix up my AI flight plans a bit. I'd suggest it would be close to the longest. The following information is taken from: https://thepointsguy.com/news/th…

Jax, Yes, your "scribblings" do make sense. In my case I think my issue occurred because there was probably a sound driver update as part of the Windows Update, and, with my external speakers switched off, Windows saw the HDMI monitor as the onl…
-
Just a quick follow up to my post above. I may have solved my issue. After some exhaustive fault finding, and much changing of many settings followed by testing, I stumbled across the following. I noticed that my primary default sound output devic…

Hmmm. I will watch this thread with interest as I have only just begun to experience this exact same issue and my settings were already set to "Do Nothing". (Note that the issue seems to not be limited to the Dash 8, as I've also experienced it in…
