PEPcessna Posted November 25 Report Posted November 25 Hi, I have been trying and failing to get the altitude mcp dataref for the IXEG 733 for over 2 hours at this point, for some reason I cant find any specific dataref for the Altitude window on the MCP. I'm trying to interface it with Mobiflight with a custom MCP I 3D printed. I found two datarefs sim/cockpit2/autopilot/altitude_dial_ft or sim/cockpit/autopilot/altitude which appear to move when I dial the Altitude window with my Mouse how ever I cant edit these datarefs to move the window with commands, does anyone from IXEG have any commands for rotating the altitude by increments of 100' up and down. It doesn't appear to be a mobiflight issue as im able to use the sim/cockpit/autopilot/airspeed for the MCP speed without any issues. only Altitude appears to not work. Course and Heading have the Dataref ixeg/733/MCP/mcp_plt_course_act / ixeg/733/MCP/mcp_heading_bug_act which work for interfacing with but speed and altitude on the MCP dont exist with these datarefs ixeg/733/MCP/ for some reason. Also it says all fuel pump datarefs are depreciated for some reason. What are the new ones? Quote

PEPcessna Posted November 25 Author Report Posted November 25 That just has the command no dataref without the dataref it wont work Quote
PEPcessna Posted November 25 Author Report Posted November 25 ixeg/733/MCP/mcp_alt_target_act in the documentation appears to move the altitude knob however it doesn't change the altitude window for some reason Quote
Pils Posted November 26 Report Posted November 26 Writing to datarefs directly isn’t really the best way to achieve hardware integration, in my opinion, but if that’s what you need I don’t know which is the correct one for altitude window. Quote
