Trottle and reverser at touchdown
Well, I will have a look at it then. I never elsewhere combine my username and real name. Back to the problem I have. No it did not help. First I removed all axis in FSUIPC. I enabled the controllers in FSX and assigned all of them there. In FSUIPC I set the throttle axis so it is sent only to FSUIPC calibrarion. No other axis.

Trottle and reverser at touchdown
You have my full name there. In every post. Do you mean I also have to have it in the footer?

Trottle and reverser at touchdown
I don't follow you there. Assigned in FSX, and calibrated in FSUIPC?? Here is my setup: FSX: I have "enable controller(s)" unticked. And no settings for "throttle axis" . It does not make a change if I keep the first unticked, and assign the "throttle axis" to an joystick axis. FSUIPC: I have the axis set to "send direct to FSUIPC calibration" as "throttle". In tab "joystick calibration" it is going -16k to +16k when I move the throttle. Can you please tell me which one you think is wrong?

Trottle and reverser at touchdown
All axis incl. throttle and reverser are assigned in FSUIPC. They all pass into FSUIPC calibration as "axis not processed". The extra thrust is not shown in FSUIPC log. I have removed all settings for all axis in FSX (all are being managed though FSUIPC) https://www.dropbox.com/s/hu4iywo5y4z6ejy/20160117_164414.mp4?dl=0&preview=20160117_164414.mp4

Trottle and reverser at touchdown
Yes. Tried on both tq and on mcp. But this behaviour is as I wrote also when airborne, even though I don't pull the Reverser2 then.

Trottle and reverser at touchdown
I have problems to engage the reverser at touchdown. It only works when the aircraft has a lower speed. I noticed that when I am just at landing speed and I retard the throttles, they go back up just a little. Then the reverers does not work, as the throttles are not at idle. I move them up and back down to idle; they go back up a little. I also tried when airborne, then the throttles does the same. I tried calibration. And I checked in FSUIPC (the yoke is connected to FSUIPC calibration). Same thing if I press "F1" button... EDIT: The reverser indicator on the engine display shows REV in yellow and then in green. So it looks OK, but the thrust does not increase.

PMDG and TOPCAT CG issue
When I distribute the cargo loads in TOPCAT, nothing happens with the CG value. F.x. I put 7000kg in FWD and 0kg in AFT. And I try vise versa. The CG is still 24%. I noticed that it works as it should if I change aircraft configuration (Boeing 737-800 PMDG Mixed Class.txt) in TOPCAT from PMDG Mixed Class to f.x. Ariane. I have tried to copy'n'paste the Boeing 737-800 PMDG Mixed Class.txt and restart TOPCAT from what's in this forum post below, unfortunately without success. http://www.avsim.com/topic/417842-topcat-pfpx-737ngx-weights-how-to/

Trim value
As there is no 2D window support for the throttle quadrant in PMDG737NGX, it requires "mouse look" to check the trim value. Is there some workaround or add-on program that can show this value in any kind of way? BR, Magnus

Instant replay
When doing "instant replay", after landing and parked at gate, the plane has its last config (speedbrake, flaps, reversers...), and PFD, NAV displays does not move and ground equipment are attatched (see picture). Is there any settings for this, or will this be solved?

LUA's for radios on PMDG737NGX
One can download NGXEFIS_PP_202 and NGXMCP_PP_202 from opencockpits.com download site. They work well. However, I cannot find anyone that has done a LUA for radios. Without it, I can't see how I could get the frequencies from the radios to my IOcards hardware.

Offset Mapping for PMDG 737NGX
Thanks again. It helped. Flaps won't move.I use the offset 76773 for retrecting it fully. But it does not move. FSUIPC picks it up (shows the 76773). In FSUIPC I entered value 0 for setting it and 1 for resetting it. Is that correct?

Offset Mapping for PMDG 737NGX
Now I get it! Next thing, "Length 4" makes other switches to also activate at the same time. "Length 1" solves this, but then only 8 sw per Joystick of course.... :-(

Offset Mapping for PMDG 737NGX
It worked with the first 23 switches. How do I continue? I am at $3364 now... I tried to change joystick fro FO_JoyStick to C_JoyStick, but it does not recognise the C_JoyStick

You are a god! Thank you, it works perfect!!

Offset Mapping for PMDG 737NGX
I found these control codes in your blog. It works to control switches with the Saitek joystick, but not from my IOcards. How do I make the FSUIPC react to my IOcards?

Offset Mapping for PMDG 737NGX
That link returns to this topis for me. Does the SDK (software development kit?) requires Windows programming skills? Is there a tutorial for making the required work? I found MCP + EFIS already available as LUA's for SIOC.ini. WIll the SDK when compiled end up in another LUA then? Sorry, I really don't get the big picture of this....

Offset Mapping for PMDG 737NGX
I have a non-plug-and-play IOcards flightdeck. I have been using it with iFLY with success and now would like to change to PMDG 737NGX. I found this document "Offset Mapping for PMDG 737NGX" but the offsets are read-only which means I can't have my iocards switches to control the PMDG panel. How do I get both read and write access? BR, Magnus

IOCARDS? What do I need?
Hi, Until today I have been using iFLY + IOCARDS + SIOC. It works quite well. I have made the SIOC script myself, and would like to edit it to work with PMDG instead. Can someone give me a link to a thread or website about how to interface (offsets to all PMDG switches, leds and so on) to PMDG via SIOC? Maybe I also need some interface program, except the obvious FSUIPC and SIOC. BR, Magnus
