Thrust Reversers

[Guest]

Guys, Im trying to configure my home cockpit for the PIC, can anyone tell me the key input sequence for the PIC767 in FS2002, F2 does not work and their is no mention of it in the Wilco Reference doc,The complication I have is that im driving the PIC panel using Project Magenta software so i've completely removed the default wilco 767 AP - FMC etc,I can now mimic all the overhead controls via external hardware switches and buttons (well, the ones I can find in the PIC reference sheet) But unfortunately Thrust reverse eludes me!Any help appreciated.:-beerchugNigel S

Nigel,From your posting I take it you don't want to use a seperate axis for reverse thrust. FSUIPC makes this possible; there has been an extensive thread on this subject in either this forum or the Home cockpit builders forum (http://ftp.avsim.com/cgi-bin/dcforum/dcboard.cgi?az=list&forum=DCForumID42&conf=DCConfID13). Just do some searching.This is what I have done:the reverse thrust lever triggers a button (and keeps the contact closed for as long as the reverser is held into position).This button simulates the following keyboard sequence:[F1][F2][F2][F2][F2][F2][F2][F2][F2][F2][F2] When the button is released it simulates:[F1]You want to be sure that you have your direct keyboard input for the FMC is diabled, otherwise the commands will go to the FMC. There are ways to circumvent this, but that will cost some extra time reactionwise. I don't know what the influence of the PM software is.Kind regards,Stephan Haashttp://vatsim.pilotmedia.fi/statusindicato...or=SVA1&a=a.jpg

Stephan,Thanks for that Information, I have just read the tread and will try it.My problem is that although I have already followed a proven way (for Project Magenta users) of disabling the PIC AP through a Hex editor, this allows the PM MCP, which in turn im controlling with the PM FMC to override any influence from the PIC.I did a flight and everything worked great until touchdown when despite having the auto brakes set and going through the throttle full back then forward for thrust reverse, as soon as the rear wheels touched the ground, the engines spooled up and I immediately went into go-around mode climbing to 3000ft then levelling off, which suggested to me that somewhere PM was not getting the information that I was in landing mode, I thought if I could manually input the trust reverse it would solve the problem.I am actually adapting the new Goflight 1.26 software, which now allows 'key mapping' to mimic the PIC panelpostoverhead.But...Overnight it came to me in a flash of inspiration .....DOH! :-yellow1 that the embedded Doc's in the Wilco PIC folder were actually for FS2000, as some of the key strokes im adding such as LR wing Ice and APU start etc, even by direct keyboard input wont work I presume they have! So I now need to expand my original question by asking if anyone knows the FS2002 keys for custom comands? Regards Nigel:-beerchug
