Ah yes, I see what's happening. My mistake, it appears that setting these local variables is only triggering the animation. Not to worry though, we can use a mouse macro instead. Have you ever recorded one of these in FSUIPC? /* If you are not familiar with FSUIPC mouse macros then please read the Macro Controls / Mouse Macros section in the AdvancedUsers.PDF for FSUIPC. It explains it better than I ever could. */ I brought up the appropriate NGX 2D panel using the [shift]7 key and recorded the following mouse macro by... Right Clicking IRSL Left Clicking IRSL Right Clicking IRSR Left Clicking IRSR Each action requires a name to identify it. I used: File Name: PMDG_IRS Right Clicking IRSL Name: irsl_cw Left Clicking IRSL Name: irsl_acw Right Clicking IRSR Name: irsr_cw Left Clicking IRSR Name: irsr_acw This was the contents of result file. "PMDG_IRS.MCRO" [Macros] Module="PMDG_737NGX.DLL" 1=irsl_cw=RX273e0*X8bcc,31 2=irsl_acw=RX273e0*X8bcc 3=irsr_cw=RX27400*X8bcc,31 4=irsr_acw=RX27400*X8bcc As before, these entries will then be available to select in FSUIPC - Buttons+Switches Tab. (No parameters will be required.) eg: PMDG IRSL: IRSL CW etc. If you are using a momentary switch (push button) this will work fine, To go from Off to NAV, just press the button twice. However, if you use toggle switches as I do, ( that is: the switch is either On or Off,) then you can edit the macro file as so... [Macros] Module="PMDG_737NGX.DLL" 1=irsl_cw 1.1=RX273e0*X8bcc,31 1.2=RX273e0*X8bcc,31 2=irsl_acw 2.1=RX273e0*X8bcc 2.2=RX273e0*X8bcc 3=irsr_cw 3.1=RX27400*X8bcc,31 3.2=RX27400*X8bcc,31 4=irsr_acw 4.1=RX27400*X8bcc 4.2=RX27400*X8bcc This allows you to have more that one function to to a Macro action. In this case it just repeats the click action to simulate clicking twice. Note: I have not tried recording a Mouse Macro on one machine and copying it to another. If it works, it works, fine. If not, you'll have to record you're own macro on you're computer and make any necessary edits. I'm sure you be ok with this. Chris.

I don't know about the Anti-Skid switch, I thought this system was just on and the Anti_Skid Inop light was just a warning to tell you it's broken. As for the IRS L & R switches, not a problem. I use LINDA for this. Too easy. if you don't want to use LINDA then you can use an FSUIPC MCRO file to set the relevant LVar. Still easy. How to do this in three easy steps... Step 1. Create a text file in your FSX\modules folder, and name to PMDG_737.MCRO Step 2. edit this file with notepad and insert the following three lines [MACROS] 1=L:ngx_switch_255_a=SET 2=L:ngx_switch_256_a=SET Step 3. save the file. That's it. NOTE: That's 255 IRS Left and 256 IRS Right Then when you go into FSUIPC's Button + Switches Tab, you will see available in the drop down list box entries for: PMDG 737:L:nxg Switch 255 A Set PMDG 737:L:nxg Switch 256 A Set The Parameter(s) you can use are: 0 - Off 10 - Allign 20 - Nav 30 - ATT So If you want your switch to set IRS L to Nav when on, and then Off when off, select... Control sent when button pressed PMDG 737:L:nxg Switch 255 A Set Parameter 20 Control sent when button released PMDG 737:L:nxg Switch 255 A Set Parameter 0 The same for IRS R ( but use: PMDG 737:L:nxg Switch 256 A Set) Hope this helps. Chris.

I take it you have no AI traffic at all. That is not just EGSU, but everywhere else. Chris

Throttle Quadrant question
I agree with Frank, I did exactly what you want to. I plugged my replacement quadrant into the USB port on the Saitek yoke and found that it was constantly dropping out, Plugged it into it's own USB port and has worked perfect since, Chris.

Flightsim Store Australian/US bank fees?
You sure that the $54.79 was $US and not $Au. The difference between the two sums is pretty much bang on the current Au / US exchange rate. Chris

Anyone Else Notice This Price Hike?
I bought a copy of FSX Gold a few weeks ago from an EB store in Sydney. Paid $18 Au for it. Good investment I think. Still Available on their website https://ebgames.com.au/pc-145318-Flight-Simulator-X-Gold-Edition-PC
