Autopilot and Autothrottle Joystick Disconnect?

[chrisclarke512]

Hi,

I'm new to X Plane having just moved over after about 10 years on FSX and P3D. The only add on I have at the moment in X Plane 11 is the IXEG 737-300.

If I'd known how amazing it could be with just these two things I wouldn't have spent so much money on P3D!

I do have a small issue though. My mappings for Autopilot and Autothrottle disconnect aren't working for me in X Plane 11 or he 733. I know it's Beta and the 733 is only really for X Plane 10 at the moment, but I hope someone can help me. I read somewhere that there's an advanced joystick assignment section but I can't find it anywhere... 

I hope someone can help...

A/P disc & A/T disc for a boeing requies very specific modeling to work as it happens on the real aircraft

 

using xplane default commands will not work because this is generic.

 

you need to map the correspondig ap_disc and the corresponsig at_disc from the ixeg/ custom command tree

Would you tell me where I can find the ixeg custom command tree please? Is it in the main IXEG folder?

1. you select the button you want to map and press EDIT (button 11 in my example)

2. On the right side, navigate to the +ixeg tree:

ixeg/733/autopilot/AP_disengage (for A/P disc feature)

ixeg/733/autopilot/at_disengage  (for A/T disc feature)

 

Screen captures attached for your reference.

 

Note:  this is my xp11 beta install on the laptop (not at home now) and my ixeg bird is installed on my home simulator. So you will not see the ixeg tree listed on the screen capture attached for your reference but this is to give you an idea were to find it. It should be the same root tree level than +ATC +ANNUNCIATORS etc.

Thanks so much for the reply. I'll give this a shot tomorrow. It's 2am here now, I should really try and get some sleep.

Thanks again for the effort you put in, I really appreciate it.

Cool let us now how it goes.

 

note: I forgot to mention xplane 11 beta seems to have a parsing issue were items (custom commands within the trees) may be displayed unnamed at first. If that happens to you map any item under the appropriate tree 'ixeg/733/autopilot/', then apply and close. The next time you open to re-map they should be named properly for selection.

It's working now. Thank you so much for your help. I think I might have found those IXEG bindings in the tree if the trees were defaulted to closed rather than expanded. 

Now all I have to do is find out why my x-box 360 controller rudder is so buggy...

Thanks again for your help.

Glad to have helped.
