MCE Version 3.0.50 / PF3 Issues

[flyblueskies 143]

I installed MCE version 3.0.50 to work with PF3 version 3.20.0 (latest) and MSFS 1.33.8.0. Prior to this version of MCE, all was working correctly.

However, with MCE version 3.0.50, when I request an altitude increase, PF3 does not respond. If I press the H button + 2 button, PF3 does respond by authorizing and increase in altitude (additional 2000 feet).

I went back to my prior version of MCE, v 3.0.32 and it works correctly with PF3 and altitude increases.

So, it appears MCE version 3.0.50 has an issue with altitude increases working correctly with PF3 version 3.20.0.

Thanks!

I doubt it's happening on the MCE side as those code sections (related to PF3) haven't been touched for a long while.

maybe latest changes to "Simco64_Ldr.exe" is causing it. it's the app that simulates the actual key combo PF3 is expected to catch.

I suggest the following...

Install 3.20, then save "Simco64_Ldr.exe" somewhere.

Install 3.52 (latest) and eventually replace "Simco64_Ldr.exe" with the older file. You'll lose Asobo ATR support in the process. FO will say he's doing things, but there would be no actions in the cockpit as that requires the updated file.

Report back.

PS: Asobo ATR interfacing not complete yet. Flows not shipped, but will be within a few days.

I installed MCE version 3.0.52. It works just fine...I can request altitude increases and descents without issue now. I did not have to use the older "Simco64_Ldr.exe".

Thanks for your support!
