Axis an Ohs Incompatible with 738 PMDG

[mcpiloto]

Sometimes the axis and ohs is interrupting the functionalities of the autopilot, for example, the FD stop following the magenta line. When it happens, I need to disconnect the axis and ohs and then connect it again. Other issue is happening with the command decrease throttle. This command is located in the MSFS, but when the software axis and ohs is connected to the sim, the decrease throttle command doesn’t work, it works only with the program disconnected. Some help would  really be appreciated!

Can't say that I've heard that before. The PMDG 738 is used by many customers, and AAO testers are flying it too, with very extensive scripting and hardware setups. Nobody has ever reported something like this.

Sounds more like you have something configured in/running with AAO that is causing your trouble. StreamDeck profile, RPN scripts, exotic hardware?

When the axis and Ohs is connected to the sim, the autopilot and the reverse throttle, decrease throttle command in the sim, stop working.

The FD stop following the magenta line, and the command decrease throttle does not work. Some help would really be appreciated.

What is the "command decrease throttle"? How/where is that used and what is it assigned to?

Be mindful that you can always only configure something either in MSFS or in AAO but not in both. Otherwise there will be conflicts.

Edit: I'm just trying to now. I assume that you mean the F2/F3 keyboard events, that increase and decrease throttle? Both are working fine for me, with the PMDG - even when the throttles are assigned (via AAO) to my TQ at the same time!!

I'm sorry, but I just can't see how that would even be possible. So you are saying that LNAV is still turned on but the aircraft is doing something else??

[mcpiloto]

For example, if the heading mode is on, the aircraft does not follow the head select, but as soon as I disconnect axis and ohs, the aircraft starts turning to follow the head selected!

Sorry, no idea. Never happened to me nor to any tester. And I can't imagine how this could be even possible. Bare bones AAO does not influence the internal simulator code nor PMDG logic in any way. You would have to run scripts etc. to achieve that. 

So what are you running through AAO? StreamDeck - MIDI - Scripts - Templates - controllers?

[mcpiloto]

Template! Other thing, I have mapped  a button for the command decrease throttle in the sim, not in the axis and ohs. When the axis and ohs is connected to the sim, this button does not work as well!

I'm sorry, but throttle inc/dec F3/F2 are working perfectly fine for me - see above. I am looking at it right this moment, no issues whatsoever.

Where did you get the Template from and did you contact the author? Maybe the template is incompatible with the plane or is running incompatible scripts. And why are you using a template and MSFS assignments at the same time?

[mcpiloto]

I have created the template mapping the buttons and assigning commands to then! The command decrease throttle, doesn’t work on the axis and ohs, that’s why I’m using the sim for this command!

[mcpiloto]

I don’t know if I’m doing something wrong. I just have followed the sequence, clicking on the button adding an axis, find the axis that I want to use, mapping a hardware axis to apply the command, and saving. After I have assigned all the commands that I wanted I create a template for them!

Of course those events work. Sounds more like you didn't use it correctly. What were you trying to do with it - activate the reversers? That is done with two Button assignments, Key Down THROTTLE1_DECR, THROTTLE2_DECR, "Repeat" set to "fast", and for the Key Up THROTTLE1_CUT and THROTTLE2_CUT so the lever is reset after the reversers have been stowed.

But all this is pretty much futile, when I can't see the rest of your assignments. Also, be aware that the MSFS controller assignments and what you see in AAO are not the same thing. 

I suggest that you send your proof of purchase and a detailed description of your setup to the support address, which you will find on the last page of the AAO manual.

How/Why would you use THROTTLEn_DECR on an axis??? 
The thottle axis events for the PMDG (and most other MSFS aircraft) are THROTTLE1_AXIS_SET_EX1, THROTTLE2_AXIS_SET_EX1
(second box at the top of the assign axis dialog "Select Simulator Event") In MSFS you will have to search for the item that does what you want. The axis variables are one option, the events another, LVars, HVars and BVars even more. This can become quite complex.

You don't have to create a template. That is completely optional. You can create one if you want, but it is in no way necessary.

[mcpiloto]

What I don’t understand is why the axis and ohs is interfering in the command applied in the sim?

[mcpiloto]

The decrease throttle is the command to trigger the reverses in the sim. That’s why I was assigning this command in the axis and ohs!
