PMDG 737 Elevator/Aileron axis assignment

Featured Replies

Must be a miss on my part.   I have tried everything to get these axis assigned through AAO.  Tried all of the options, Axis, Event, and Variable using two different.controllers.  The axis movement indicators in AAO move when the stick is moved but there is no control movement in the sim.  Both of the axis assignments are removed in the MSFS controls assignment and FSUIPC has been shut down to avoid and duplicate assignments.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled the 737 with no effect.

I noticed in one of the Lorby responses that he was using a variable for the Elevator and Aileron assignments.  If so which one did you use?

DISREGARD!

I was looking in the sim for actual control wheel movement.  Not there but elevator and rudder do move on the Sys page.  Only one way to find out......

Practiaclly all of them work for me. Doesn't matter if I use the "Aileron" / "Elevator" variables (the selection at the top of the axis dialog) or the "AXIS_AILERON_SET" and "AXIS_ELEVATOR_SET" events (second box from the top, first group of the treelist).
In general, MSFS prefers events over variables.

Make sure to pay attention to Axis Min and Axis Max. Especially when switching between variables and events it may be better to delete the assignment and create a new one.

Do you have your control yoke/column lowered in your Virtual Cockpit? 

If yes, you must select option:

YOKES MOVE WHEN LOWERED: This option controls the behavior of the yokes when they are hidden (lowered). Note that this is not a real option on the actual 737, the yokes only have one position (normal) in real life.

You can found this option in your CDU menu:

SIMULATION Configuration Menu, page 6.
