Hi All, I'm trying to assign the spring loaded 'FLAPS' lever on my Honey Bravo to control the alternate flap extension in PMDG 737. Just need some advice on what SPAD control settings to use. The LVAR is - NGX_FCTL_AltnFlaps_Control_Sw. Thanks Jon

Thanks for the reply. I don't use Spad or Axis. Which would you recommend? Jon

Hi All, Is it possible to assign keyboard commands to Alternate Flap Extension, eg. the down arrow? (I'm using PMDG 737 in MSFS) This would be useful when practicing Hyd B failure so I dont have to keep going up to the overhead panel and then back to the flap gauge. Can't seem to work out how to do it. Thanks Jon

Hi all, I'm considering upgrading my throttle quadrant. Thinking of purchasing the Honeycomb Bravo, and then one of the addons that converts it to a 737 quadrant. Can anyone recommend a good one please? This one looks good - https://prodesksim.com/products/new-prodesksim-boeing-737-dual-plus-addon-mod-package-for-honeycomb-bravo-throttle-quadrant?srsltid=AfmBOor3NutQyvGbnzB2RlRJpjbB9ogT5u5RaLYjKVMBlV4d1XV5D52J&variant=45680974594218 Any help greatly appreciated Jon

The chart was issued on 28 12 23. Good advice, thanks. The reason I’m not doing it in LNAV is because I wanted to practice a raw data departure.

Thanks guys, I use Lido charts. DME distance is referenced for PTH in a couple of places on the NORBO 1J SID. A good way round it is just to put PTH in the fix page and get the distance from there. Jon

But at ELBAN, it says, amongst other things, D48.1 PTH.

Sorry for late reply guys! I was just confused as the NORBO 1J SID from GLA has distances shown from PTH. Jon

Hi All, Is there a way to simulate a very slow decompression in the PMDG 737? Perhaps about 150ft per minute. TIA Jon

Hi all, Do some VORs not work as they should in MSFS? In particular, Perth VOR (Scotland). I'm getting the ident - PTH, but no DME range. Cheers Jon

Hi all, I asked PMDG how I could program failures such as 'Leading Edge Flaps Transit' or 'Anti Skid Inop'. They told me that Boeing only allow them to program certain failures and the above aren't included. Is there any way to at least simulate these failures? For example, force the Anti Skid Inop light to stay on? Thanks Jon

Where are the failure options for things like flaps? A common one in the sim is 'Leading Edge Slat Transit' after take off. Can't seem to find this type of failure. Can anyone help please? Jon

Thanks very much, Jon

Hi all, I'm sure I'm missing something completely obvious here, but how do you assign keys to activate certain failures? In FSX I assigned keyboard key 1 to instantly fail engine number one and keyboard number 2 to fail engine number 2. This is so I could practice engine failures at V1. Just can't seem to find this functionality in MSFS 2020. I'm using the PMDG 737. Thanks Jon

Hi all, I've tried looking throught the forums for an answer but can't find it sorry. All I want to do is assign keyboard button 1 to fail engine number 1 and keyboard button 2 to fail engine 2. How do I do this please? I'm using PMDG 737 and MSFS 2020. Thanks Jon
