Juergen2 3 Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Hi Ben, question to the LED's: Can an LED on the BTQ only be activated with a active LED in the aircraft? What I would like to do is turn the "IAS" LED off the BTQ ON when the IAS is displayed in the aircraft (for the PMDG T7)? ould you let me know if this is feasable Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I cannot test this right now, but there is a variable called "AS_PMDG_T7_MCP_IASBlank,bool" which might be going into the direction you want and that you can experiment with. There is also some work being done on documenting all the variables for future reference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Al Hi Al, so...you are saying you are not seeing the "Honeycomb" menu entry at all under "Add-Ons"? If so, this indicates a problem which has nothing to do with the PMDG profiles, so please open up a new topic detailing your problem so it is more easy to keep track.

Aerosoft BenBaron 286 Posted February 5, 2021 Aerosoft Share Posted February 5, 2021 I don't know what happened there, but for some reason the main plugin was missing from your add-ons.cfg.

What is really strange is that you are getting the LEDs, but not the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I rebind is says AFCBridgelReloadJson: AFC_Yoke reloaded 29 binding(s) successfully from profile 'PMDGQOTSII_YOKE'. the Throttle says AFCBridgelReloadJson: BFC_Throttle reloaded 68 binding(s) successfully from profile 'PMDGQOTSII_THROTTLE'. on the throttle the landing gear LEDs are what work and the DOOR is lit up the LEDs in the sim for AP only come on when i click in the sim nothing on the throttle quadrant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikenor 2 Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 Hi all - just got the throttle and did everything exactly as specified above yet when I move the throttle in the PMDG 737 NGXu the pedals move. Same with all other knobs and buttons - not doing what they are set to be doing. I imported the profile, installed and activated it, and even have the honeycomb menu in the add-on for p3d v5 but not able to get anything to work. What am I missing? Any help appreciated!

Mike Hi Mike, there is no support for axis assignments via the ConfigTool, so you have to assign them yourself and make sure they make sense via P3Ds controls menu. You also have to make sure, that the buttons are not assigned in P3Ds control menu itself as otherwise you will have doubled assignments. You can either delete them manually or use Actions->Disable Simulator Defaults in the ConfigTool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikenor 2 Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 Thanks for the quick response Ben - so now I'm really not following what the PMDG 737 profile is... I assumed when loading it that it would assign all axis and buttons to the aircraft. If not what is its purpose? Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikenor 2 Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 Have had success with the throttle knobs and set up the axis's, but the yoke will buttons do nothing after loading the profile. At least I'm getting somewhere - will continue to play with it. Thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanzunator 5 Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 PMDG 777 Bravo Throttle Profile | Red LED annunciators don't light up when they should be on I have successfully installed and started using PMDG 747 and 777 Bravo Throttle official profiles. The profile for PMDG 747 works perfectly including all red LED annunciators, however the profile for PMDG 777 works fine for everything except the red LED annunciators (the white LED annunciators work fine). I have spent countless number of hours reviewing the .json files and PMDG 777 SDK and it seems the profile already has the correct SDK variable names and logic for the red LED annunciators. It seems somehow it can't see the values for those variables in the P3D v4.5. This is specially strange as on the same system, 747 red annunciators work perfectly. Anybody else has experienced this or is aware of a fix? Regards, Jim Morrison Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards, Jim Morrison I was able to solve my own issue by adding the following lines to 777X_Options.ini file which is in your PMDG777X folder: [SDK] EnableDataBroadcast=1 The PMDG 777 wasn't broadcasting its data and Honeycomb profile have no way of seeing the annunciator values.

Nice you got it solved. Normally this line should have been added automatically when you enabled PMDG support in the ConfigTool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Mike: the profile is only dealing with the buttons as the required variables/events simply cannot be assigned via P3Ds controls menu. But the axis can, so they have to be defined by yourself.
