PMDG 737NGX MCP connect with CPFlight 737 MCPEL

[karmelk]

I have the following minor proplem with my CPFlight hardware 737MCP EL namely that the green control lights (LNAV/VNAV etc.) on the hardware do not light up while on the PMDG aircraft they do.

I contact the technical department of the store from where I purchased the hardware and they believe it's a communication error between the hardware and the PMDG software and go into the PMDG FAQ's for a possible answer and/or solution.

Maybe this topic has already been issued before but I at least cannot trace anything.

Please assist.

Dirk

This will be down to whoever wrote the interface.

Hardware interfacing is the responsibility of the person who wrote the interface and built the hardware.

If it's not available to be referenced/set in the SDK, then that's one thing, and a ticket should be submitted to sort that out to see if it can be added (though I'm sure there's an alternate path that could be used by whoever wrote the interface). Posting here is a bit like me going to BMW because my aftermarket angel eye bulbs aren't working properly.

Did you contact cp flight who wrote the interface?

These Variables ( the green control lights (LNAV/VNAV etc.) are working fine from the PMDG B737, but they have to be available to the interface.

 

Verify that you have enabled DataBroadcast output from your PMDG B737NGX,      Go to your flightsim’s main folder and open \PMDG\PMDG 737 NGX\737NGX_Options.ini     If not already enabled, add the following two lines to the bottom of the file and save:  

[SDK]

 EnableDataBroadcast=1
