Unless things have changed recently, If I remember well when udder certain conditions, GSX will want you to start before pushing.

- When under icing conditions.

- When the plane doesn't have an APU.

Latest patch should get rid of that in MSFS. Replace all files

 

Hello Devs

I tell my FO turn on Logo lights, it goes to pulse that's ok, happy with that. But the fixed landing light are not going to pulse, they switch down to fix could I please have them like the logo light they switch to pulse.

PMDG 737-700     PATCH V3.1.0.3

Not sure I follow...

On 737 Logo light is a 2 position switch ON or OFF.

Maybe referring to Nav light which can be OFF, Steady or strobe and steady.

Can you post a picture regarding what you mean by Pulse. Perhaps you have changed something in FMC-CDU regarding equipment. Have the default items for those.

The same happened with landing lights. By default, it's just 2 switches, but when changing them in CDU page 14, you end-up with 4.

Also make sure you have the latest airplane version.

The logo lights are 2 switches when I ask for turn on it goes to 1 position that's pulse does not go to 2 position which is on that's cool

you did fix it, but since this patch V3.1.0.3 it's not going to 1 position.

Sorry for this, I know it's a small thing I know about CDU setup

landing light position 1 off   position 2 pulse   position 3 on          when I ask FO turn on position 3 on

logo light    position 1 off    position 2 pulse   position 3 on            when I ask FO turn on position 2 on

I am a noob, I have no idea on how to get a pic of this just asking if landing switches work the same way as logo light they both have the same position.

Thank u for your time u devs do a good job my 737 700 PMDG is complete from startup to parking I use

MCE mechanic GSX, Balabolka for Voice, Audacity I wish I knew how to show off MCE with a vid, But I am a noob

Hi devs

my MEC tells me after he removes GPU and chocks doors are still open I check FMC, and they are open with MCE and GSX who closes the door

Assuming GSX isn't automatically opening/closing doors, and also assuming you didn't disable MCE doors manipulation via "mce.ini", when GSX requests opening or closing of specific doors, MCE should react to that and only then. Make sure you didn't disable GSX notifications too, as that might be a factor.
