The dual functions are either from a quick push or a push and hold (the button hold time is set on the Settings tab) and then released: Button When used with the PMDG NGX/77X/747X these device types are automatically configured.Įvery push button on the MCP Advanced has a dual use so that it can more closely resemble the functionality of the MCP in the NGX/77X. When used with the PMDG NGX/77X/747X these device types are automatically configured. It is always best to use the ONOFF type button actions instead of mouse emulation actions to avoid any problems. Using an inappropriate button action on a T8 will cause unexpected results when the interface synchronises the aircraft with the T8 switch states.
PMDG have acknowledged this as an issue with Simconnect and is one of the reasons they recommend to restart FSX after each flight with the NGX.The Standby ADF frequency is custom PMDG code and data is not provided in the SDK, so access to the data is unavailable. You will also notice no activity on the PMDG status LED on the Status Tab. It will manifest itself as the displays on the MCP PRO not updating, although you can use buttons and switches on the MCP PRO and the NGX will respond. the aircraft is flown and then you return to the FSX main menu and re-fly it again.The NGX/77X/747X will stop sending messages via their SDK and thus into the Interface, if.These values count from 0 and can go very high e.g. DIAL: Non-specific settings rotary dial.This is a variable number dependent upon the gauge and can be positive or negative. GAUGE: An analogue gauge or digital display.the Auto Brake Selector is 0: RTO, 1: OFF:, 2: Setting1, 3: Setting2, 4: Setting3 etc…. For multiple settings, they always start from 0 and count upwards E.g. These devices tend to have specific values such as 1 for on and 0 for off. SWITCH: Switch, Button or rotary dial with specific settings.CLUSTER: Grouped Data for Grouped Events.PMDG NGX/77X VariablesĪll PMDG NGX Variable names begin with DATA_ and follow this naming convention: a group of controls have been clustered together to respond as one. Note that EVT_CLUSTER_ allows the assignment of a group of aircraft controls to one switch or rotary, i.e. This is necessary because the GoFlight Interface Tool and the NGX SDK work differently together.Īll PMDG NGX Event names begin with EVT_ and follow this naming convention: Do not use "OFF", "HOLD" or "ANTICLOCKWISE". When assigning PMDG Events to any GoFlight hardware always assign it to the "ON" or "CLOCKWISE" Event Type.
