Hi,

you want to map the default X-Plane command "Engage TOGA power." (sim/engines/TOGA_power) to a joystick button and also the custom ixeg command "Disengage AP" (ixeg/733/autopilot/AP_disengage). You need to push this button a second time to silence the wailer and light that warns you about the autopilot disconnecting.

Cheers, Jan

Thanks @litjan

When you say custom ixeg command, how I do that please? I can do the xp menu setup no problem but not sure about the custom command.

You set those up just like any other X-Plane command. Go to the Joystick setup, then when you set up the function (command) for a button, search for "ixeg" and you can see all the "special" commands we supply for our aircraft.

Some things (like the TOGA buttons or thrust reverser etc.) are working with the default X-Plane commands, other things (like most of the autopilot functions) are working with special commands (with the ixeg/733/... syntax).

Cheers, Jan
