Thank you, Dan. P3D has provisions in the Settings | Buttons and Keys (I think) menu for Autobrake, but it may be that they are not in fact transmitted. The mouse command events do go through. I'd about decided I could live without autobrake if I had to. I make my day-to-day living as a senior staff embedded systems software engineer, and I'm currently working in C++ (mostly C subset). I'll take a look at the SDK. (Note: I initially couldn't find the SDK. I think I have it now.) --John R. Strohm

At the risk of sounding like Captain Obvious, have you checked your rudder trim? Reason I ask: I had what smelled like a problem with this in the simulator last week. --John R. Strohm

I'm brand new to this. I recently started learning the 737, just for myself, on a professional sim in Bangkok. I've located a couple of similar places Stateside, but it is an airline trip to get to them. I'm attempting to set up a home system, to keep myself current between simulator hops. I'm running Prepar3d on a machine with a DirectX10 video card. (Yes, I know. That is a separate issue and I am working around it pending buying the planned dedicated PC.) To get something working, pending building up a proper panel, I'm attempting to map two sides of a 4-way switch to autobrake increase/decrease. I used the switch sides to set the map in the first place, so I know Prepar3d is seeing the switch hits. As I read the Prepar3d help, and the Controls/Keys and Buttons display, I should be there, but, when I click the switch axes in question, nothing happens. As I said, I'm brand new. Any suggestions on where to start looking? --John R. Strohm

Thank you to everyone who contributed this information. I recently spent some time in a 737NG AATD. One of the things we did was fly the short hop from the new airport into Kai Tak. The overall fun prompted me to set up a home system, around the PMDG 737NG package, and the fun (and challenge) of the Kai Tak approach made it something I really wanted available. --John R. Strohm
