February 27, 20188 yr Hi, Just wondering how to select altitudes in 100 ft increments. 0000-1000 feet is fine, but twisting the alt knob on the MCP goes in 1000 ft increments for altitudes greater than 1000 feet. No good if I want to fly at 4500 feet, for example. Any ideas?

February 27, 20188 yr thank you also from my side for the tip. not a very comfortable solution when on approach with heavy workload. Better solutions by other developers. But okay it is how it is. Peter
February 28, 20188 yr just like the classic maddog, you can place the cursor on the alt dial--while press down on the middle mouse wheel--spin it to change alt by the 100s.

But okay it is how it is. Peter It's not very "comfortable" but this is how the real aircrafts Alt knob works. To get 100s you need to depress (Tab) the button and rotate. Otherwise you get 1000s. Likewise with the heading, speed bug, and course selection and depressing the button and rotating allows for faster selection of a value while just normal rotation is fine tuning. It's these things that make flying the Mad Dog a unique experience. Brian Thibodeaux | B747-400/8, C-130 Flight Engineer, CFI, Type Rated: BE190, DC-9 (MD-80), B747-400 My Liveries

May 6, 20242 yr Hi. Does anyone know how to get this working with Axis and Ohs in the MaddogX for MSFS? Thank you

Leonardo SH gave the MD its own "SDK", with custom sim events (see /Documents/Maddog X Files/Docs/List of Commands.pdf). What exactly is it that you want to do? Please consider posting in the AxisAndOhs support forum here on Avsim. AxisAndOhs Support - The AVSIM Community Edit: Using LSHs custom events the RPN script code for the four use cases would be this: AP alt increase by 100 ft: 100 (>K:#70124) by 1000 ft: 1000 (>K:#70124) AP alt decrease by 100 ft: 100 (>K:#70130) by 1000 ft: 1000 (>K:#70130) Edited May 7, 20242 yr by Lorby_SI LORBY-SI

So the Maddog has a weird Altitude knob. Pull to Arm... push and turn for 100s and just normal turn for 1000s. But tge only way to actually do it for 100s is to press the Tab key on a KB while turning the knob using a mouse ! I know... it's truly ridiculous. I'd love to find out how to assign some rotaries to each of the 100s and 1000s. Thnx
