xp10? 1. go to joystick & assignment 2. go to buttons adv or tabs key. Depending you want to map a key or a button 3. you press the button you want to map (or you select the key you want to assign) 4. on the right side, you clic on the top right corner "custom cmd field" and a tree will popup. Navigate to ixeg stuff and select whatever you are looking for there. i.e. 'a/p disc' xp11 works the same but the UI is different and there is still parsing issues for the information to be shown properly. You need to map / un map blind at first, and then items will populate on the list. note: It is quite common people confuses Custom Commands vs Custom Datarefs or think they are the same. They are not, both lists are documented under the "2-interface guide.pdf. Custom commands. These are actions the developers provide for the users to map to key/buttons directly. So when you invoke them via button or key press, they perform an action pre-programmed. you use custom commands via mapping as explained above. i.e. 'a/p disc' when you map this custom command to a button or key, when you clic it will disconnect the autopilot Datarefs. These are memory positions the simulation store values. Based on the value the simulation does/show something. You can not map datarefs under joystick and assignment, you need a plugin/programing to manipulate the aircraft datarefs. i.e. 'the altimeter on the mcp' dararef. Doing a clic you do nothing. You need to store there values 100ft 1000ft 15000ft whatever you need to store that will be the target for the nav systems. i.e. suppose a 3 position light switch. storing a 0 value means light is off, 1 value means low intensity, 2 means high intensity. So when you build a cockpit, depending on your hardware switch position you store a 0, 1 or 2 on the dataref. I am giving you just generic examples to understand what a dataref is for i tried to be as simple as possible on the explanation. Hope this helps

You ve got it Selecting EHSI map range has multiple options. So a custom command clic will not do it because the simulation doesn't know what size you want to set. This is a good example of a dataref 'ixeg/733/ehsi/ehsi_range_cpt_act' depending the value you set on the memory position, the range you get in the EHSI. You need xjoymap, a lua script, or simular, to map your hardware button to the dataref and each clic you cycle the value stored on the dataref for different ranges. If you are a cockpit builder you may have a multi-position knob and no need to cycle, each position stores the proper value on the dataref for direct access to required range. I do use Goflight MCP PRO MCP myselft and pollypot GIT software, there are ixeg 737 aircraft profiles already done and available under their page for inmediate download. No need to fine tune nothing. GIT is the app (like xjoymap or lua script) that interacts to the goflight hardware, and based on your selection manipulate the aircraft datarefs properly and vicebersa. If something changes and the aircraft datarefs GIT displays/illuminate whatever in the goflight hardware.

Thank you!! I just bought the 737 a couple of days ago. Great explanation! I am on my way to better understanding now. I was confusing those custom commands and datarefs. Right now I was working on XP-11 (might go back to 10. I have fixed the APU btw) . It has been a bit of a learning curve so your explanation has helped. Starting small. 1st - Basically I have button on my TM MFD (recognized as a device under Joysticks and the buttons programmable in the XP11 interface) I am trying to map to the EHSI map size. So a dataref I suppose. Are you saying I need something like XJoymap for that to work? (man I know I am annoying newbie here) Again thank you! pointless info below: After that I am working on my GoFlight gear with Poly's tool - that will be my next hurdle. With 7 GF panels and MCP coming next week. In the short time I have spent reading about using the GIT tool I get what you are saying about 0, 1, 2. Coming over from microsoft FS and use to using those tools for programing keys (LINDA -not as flexible but simple interface). As we know if you have a pit switchology takes weeks to finish on each plane. Amazing IXEG and dropping my other sim due to this plane!

Looks like Austin is still very busy updating the FM. Massive update to the subsonic jet engine model in XP11 just announced! As you know, we already have our own custom very accurate CFM-56-3 jet engine model. Lets cross fingers that he hasn't messed it up for us...

Hi all, a new video!

Beta? Really? Who knew? Sent from my SM-G920W8 using Tapatalk

When I load the IXEG 737 into X-Plane 11 (pb13) it loads with the engines running despite the fact that that option is not selected in the config menu. What am I missing?
