January 31, 201016 yr I have a CH yoke and throttle quadrant. I am trying to program the switches on the quadrant for MCP functions such as airspeed increase/decrease, Heading increase/decrease, Altitude increase/decrease. I have done this before with my PMDG 747-400 and the Level D 767 with not problems. I am finding that heading and altitude will only decrease while airspeed will both increase and decrease. Very unusual. I am using the PMDG pull down menu and Keyboard Commands. Then with FSUIPC I program with aircraft specific selected. I have never had this problem. Any ideas? I'm running FS9 on WindowsXP.Thanks in advance.boeingflir
January 31, 201016 yr Too weird. I have experimented a bit. Except for the IAS/MACH window, which I can increase and decrease with a programmed swithc on my CH Quadrant, I can't get the other windows to increase although they will decrease (HDG, ALTITUDE). However the A/T ARM swith will program as well as LNAV. What gives? HELP, PLEASE.
January 31, 201016 yr NEVER MIND. I figured it out. Unlike my 747-400 I find that I can't just use any key that I want. If there is already a ctl-shift command; it works. It seems that was the answer to the other increase/decrease settings. They need a ctl-shift command unlike single or alternate action switches and buttons, which seem to accept any key command that I want to use.Sorry. boeingflir

This is useful if you want to program a button for which not even FS9 has a key press comand. Peter Schluter
