dornier Posted June 25, 2016 Report Share Posted June 25, 2016 Hi everyone, Is there a way to reset the MCP? Right now, if I select cold and dark or turn around, the MCP displays .0 for airspeed, 096 for heading, and 3000 for altitude upon power up with a ground cart or APU. Is this normal behavior? I didn't notice this with 1.0.5. Thanks, George Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Litjan Posted June 25, 2016 Report Share Posted June 25, 2016 Hi George, we are working on having airspeed reset to 110 kts on powerup, the other values will be what you had when you shut down last... Jan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodeo Posted June 25, 2016 Report Share Posted June 25, 2016 In version 1.0.5 it uses the values found in the preference file, any reason why it would have to be hardcoded in the future? Generally speaking, I have a "master" IXEG prefs file which I like to copy before each X-Plane start so that my flights start in the same configuration (heading, course, altitude, speed, com & nav frequencies, volume levels), and having these values ignored kind of defeats the purpose of having preference fields for them in the first place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Litjan Posted June 26, 2016 Report Share Posted June 26, 2016 I agree that having that stuff preset is cool and saves time - but this ends for me where the functionality of the real plane is different. If you always get a certain value on powerup (like the DH, for example), then you should also do so on our model. I know we can get in the old argument again about what is more convenient for the user. But you know where I stand on that. . Jan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
