January 1, 197056 yr Author Had a quick look at the interface and looks good. Unfortunately for me my MCPPRO will not run more than 5 minutes before locking up. I have the A19 firmware and hopefully the A22 is on its way. However I would like to know if it is possible to turn on the center autopilot with the MCPPRO? There is buttons for A CMD and B CMD. I know A turns on the left and assume B the right. There is also 2 CWS buttons. The one on the right lights up the N1 on my MCPPRO but the left CWS seems to do nothing. --John Veldthuis
January 1, 197056 yr Hi John- from looking at the GoFlight MCPProX driver interface code, the CWS L button does nothing - the CWS R button controls the C autopilot, not the N1. Is that not what you see? If you can give it another try and then confirm that it's N1 that it alters (and it should NOT), please let me know and I will test on this end. I have A22 firmware though, so that might be another difference - we need to test on same firmware.
January 1, 197056 yr Author Took another look and this time it did not lock up on my practice flight. Pushing the right CWS button did indeed turn on the centre autopilot. I am sure it was flashing the N1 button light on the MCPPRO when I tried it the first time. I am now going to wait until my firmware update A22 arrives and also my new PC is up and running. Just need to get a CPU and video card to finish it and hope to have my new monster going in about 3-4 weeks all going well.
