January 1, 197056 yr Dear Lefteris, May be I am the idiot: I am using CPflight 737-XPDR module and your drivers for PMDG 737. Pushing the rotary selector to activate the test-mode does start the test-procedure. Paolo from CPflight assumes there is, but is not 100% sure about the support of this function. Reading the net it should have been at least in the past. So, is the test-mode of the TCAS still supported by the flightsimlabs-drivers for using CPflight modules or not? I am still looking forward of getting some sound and light show if pressing a real button (kid as I still am with my 40 ... Best regards from Vienna Georg
January 1, 197056 yr Georg- our FSLabs CPFlight dialog window is your friend here - enable the debug listing by checking the debug box and see if you get any action logged when you press the TCAS TEST button. If you do not, then it's a matter of the hardware not sending the equivalent action to the driver itself.
January 1, 197056 yr Author Yes indeed it is our friend: No action detected by the CPflight dialog window if the transponder rotary-selector is pushed. So Paolo/CPflight will have to explain . But no issue without suggestion/solution: The Cpflight hardware XPNDR's rotary selector knows a positioin "ALT RPTG" giving the command "Z00029" to the PMDG drivers. This is without use in the PMDG 737 (sorry I am not into online-flying, so I don't know if our fellow simmers there need it). May be the command Z00029 might be linked to the "TEST" function??? Not 100% real, but may be a workaround. But may be the blind is talking about colours... Best Georg
January 1, 197056 yr Georg- the "TEST" function should already be functional via the push action. I understand Paolo will help you with that. Best regards,
January 1, 197056 yr Author Lefteris, The TCAS test works , if I push the selector harder than expected slightly right. So I got my sound & light show and everything is ok. Sorry again for bothering, but I did not want to handle the knob such rude but more ladylike (as the Bobby is supposed to be a lady? Strange but off-topic...). Evcharisto for your efforts! Best regards, Georg
