March 18, 200620 yr The first regards the autopilot disconnect button, which I believe in real life is located on the yoke, is that correct? I'd like to use FSUIPC to assign a key button to my CH yoke to have an autopilot disco button on it to make the sim as realistic as possible but I'd just like to ask first if anyone knows in the real 744 if it's the right hand yoke button or the left hand yoke button I should assign it to? Thanks.My other question is whether there's a clock on the 744? I know I can fly flights in "real time" and use my computer clock but for some flights I will need to start in the morning or at night etc and it won't actually be that time on my computer. In these cases, the FMC Legs page gives an ETA is given to various waypoints but because I have no clock I don't actually know how I long I have yet to fly before I get to it. I know in real life there is a clock in the cockpit of the 777 for example (I saw it on one of those cockpit instructional videos) and it also doubles as a device which tells you how long you've been in the air, which is cool. Could anyone clarify if this is in the 744 as well? Thanks a lot in advance... Paul.
March 18, 200620 yr For the captain on the left side of the yoke, and for the first officer on the right side of the yoke. Kind regards,Raymond
March 19, 200620 yr Paul,Do you mean the clock one launches by clicking on the CHR button on the panel view switcher? (the one with all the buttons for switching to overhead view, zoom etc...)?The clock's lower left lever, when moved towards the RIGHT with a left mouse click will start timing your flight time and can be reset with a RIGHT mouse click back to zero. The UTC time is shown on the top.Hope this helps.John I love flying my "iddy biddy Jumbo" CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E8400, socket 775/3GHz/1333MHz bus/6MB cache MOBO: Asus P5E3 Deluxe WiFi-AP@n/Intel X38 chipset RAM: 4GB Kingston HyperX 1333MHz. rated 7-7-7-20, matched pair (2 x 2GB) GRAPHICS: Sapphire Radeon 5770HD 1GB (w/ fan) MONITOR: Samsung 24", 2494HM LCD wide-screen 1920x1080 SOUND: SoundBlaster Audigy 2 ZS HARD DRIVES: 1xWestern Digital WD1600JD SATA 160GB (primary/Windows XP and system boot drive) 1xWestern Digital WD3200AAJS SATA2 320GB (secondary/Flight Simulator 2004 running off WinXP Pro 32-bit, games video editing drive) 1xWestern Digital 500GB Black series SATA2 (Windows 7 64-bit: FSX is running off Win7; Windows XP Professional 32-bit) CASE: Antec Sonata III 500W OS: Windows 7 Professional 64-bit for FSX; Windows XP Pro 32-bit for other things.
