March 23, 200422 yr First I want to say that I really enjoy the 737. I don't have the Beech as I'm more a big bird flyer.But there's one thing that really gets on my nerves. When I'm flying with the autopilot set and I switch to external view and use the coolie hat on the joystick (a MS Sidewinder Force Feedback) to move the viewpoint, the autopilot disengages.I know the reason and that it's realistic, but, please, could you guys from PMDG make this an option in the PMDG setting that can be turned off?I would really appreciate it.CheersThomas
March 23, 200422 yr I'm pretty sure that the CWS feature works off X and Y axis inputs/deflections and not you using the pov button.If you dont move the X/Y axis, the AP wont turn off! A way around this would be to disengage the Joystick in FS during cruise,the buttons still work...not perfect but it works! :)John http://homepage.eircom.net/~eamonnmca/images/logo_ba.JPGwww.bavirtual.co.uk Senior Captain Simflight.com Staff Reviewer

John,I know that. But the problem is the force feedback. I'm trying to be as carefull as possible, but when the autopilot makes corrections the joystick will move and get a resistance as I'm holding it.I guess it would be pretty easy for PMDG to include that option in the settings.And maybe that would convince me to buy the 800/900...:-hah Thank you anyway.CheersThomas
