iFly 737/747 Events

When assigning iFly Events to any GoFlight hardware you will normally use the Event Action of NOTHING. REPEAT and ROTATE are also applicable when required.

All iFly Event names begin with "KEY"

Note that EVT_CLUSTER_<SYSTEM>_<NAME> allows the assignment of a group of aircraft controls to one switch or rotary, i.e. a group of controls have been clustered together to respond as one.

iFly 737/747 Variables

All iFly Variable names are non capitalised (e.g. FD_left_Switches_Status), unlike Simconnect variables which are capitalised e.g. GENERAL_ENG_MASTER_ALTERNATOR4.

MCP PRO

When used with the iFly 737/747 these device types are automatically configured.

MCP Advanced

When used with the iFly 737/747 these device types are automatically configured.

Every push button on the MCP Advanced has a dual use so that it can more closely resemble the functionality of the MCP in the iFly 737/747. The dual functions are either from a quick push or a push and hold (the button hold time is set on the Settings tab) and then released:

Option 2: Flight Altitude (overhead panel)

Option 3: Landing Altitude (overhead panel)

Option 4: Comm 1 Active Frequency. As in the aircraft, only the standby frequency can be changed.

Option 6: ADF Active Frequency. The rotary will increment one set of digits only, the other set of digits can be incremented by pushing down and turning the dial. See Known Issues section on ADF.

Option 7: NAV1 Standby Frequency. The rotary will increment one set of digits only, the other set of digits can be incremented by pushing down and turning the dial. As in the aircraft, only the standby frequency can be changed.

LGT/LGT II

When used with the iFly 737/747, these device types are automatically configured.

The Flaps Disable option stops the flap lever from being automatically configured so it doesn't clash with GoFlight's own drivers causing 2 notches of flap when the switch is used.

TQ6, TQ6-Advanced

When using the iFly 737/747:

  • the "GF-THR 737 Handles" checkbox should be ticked if the device has been updated with these handles ( it swaps buttons around ).
  • the "4 Throttles" checkbox indicates that the TQ6 has 4 throttles attached and is used when auto configuring the device. Unticked means that two throttles are attached.
  • The Default PMDG/IFly button will auto configure the buttons on the device. The config is different if 4 throttles is ticked and/or "GF-THR 737 Handles" is ticked.

SECM

The button "Default PMDG/iFly" will automatically configure the SECM to work with the iFly 737/747.

EFIS

When used with the iFly 737/747:

  • the "Function" field will be enabled allowing the device to be used as the Pilot's EFIS (left hand side) or the Co-pilot's (right hand side).
  • the field "CTR=FPV" will be enabled allowing the FPV button to be the CTR button when pushed. To gain access to the FPV function, press and hold the FPV button.
  • the field "TFC=MTRS" will be enabled allowing the MTRS button to be the TFC button when pushed. To gain access to the MTRS function, press and hold the MTRS button.
  • the field "Range 10 to 640" will be enabled. The EFIS does not have sufficient dial selector positions to match those on the aircraft. Therefore the interface will display a range from 5 to 320 unless the checkbox is ticked which will then force the display of a range from 10 to 640.

MESM

This device is automatically configured when used with the iFly 737.

GF166

These devices can be automatically configured to COM, NAV or ADF by pressing the relevant button on the GF166 tab.
