How can we help you Ben.

Hi Bryan,

Sorry about the that pressed enter by mistake lol.

Ive just done a flight using button control and a few issues i picked up on are as follows

FO does not turn on taxi lights

FO does not set standard when instructed to

No announcement to passengers that cruise has been reached

Jetways not conecting

The above issue could be down to me doing something wrong but just thought i would make

you aware.

 

Thanks

Gary Jones.

Hi Gary,

Jetway: Ensure "Default Jetway Control" config option set to YES.

All we can do is fire the same jetway trigger command used by FSX/P3D.  Basically we're firing CTRL J to toggle the jetway.

It may not work with some 3rd party scenery, and you need to be in a parking spot for it to work.

Cruise PA: That's not a bug.  It's just not a feature.  We never added one.

Setting Standard:  The altimeters in the 787 'auto sync', so when you press STD, the FO's side automatically goes to STD too.

Taxi and turn off lights:  That's a legitimate bug in Button Control.  Good catch!  I'll put it on the list for 1.1 Final.

 

Cheers,

Hi Grzegorz,

The FO won't turn on the center pumps if there's no fuel in the center tank.
 

What kind of interaction do you want with UGCX?

Cheers,

In my case FO doesn't turn on center fuel pump with fuel in center tank - only left and right are on during before start flow. 

Interaction witch UGTX I mean we can request push back via GRD menu like we do with external power. 

Thank You for qw787 fscrew! 

Best regards

Hi Bryan,

With the default jetway control on yes,the jetway still wont operate.

Looking at the code, the FO will only press the center fuel pump button if the PRESS light is illuminated on the Left Center Fuel button.

So is PRESS illuminated for you?

 

[Grzegorz 11]

Sorry for late reply but i don't to much time for flying. 

No i don't have Press illuminate on left center pump and i have no idea why, becouse there is a fuel 🤔

[byork 2,258]

If the PRESS light isn't illuminated, then the FO doesn't need to press it.

If the fuel is below a certain value, the pumps don't need to be on.
