RP48;s not working

am using the latest drivers 2.747.1.0 can get my T8's to work ok, when I try to programme my RP48 for the autobrakes on the pmdg 747 Queen of the Skies nothing happens. I have tried other commands on those units
but again nothing happens, any ideas on how to programme the Autobrakes

  • Can you list what you have tried.

    Thx

  • Hi Steve
    The latest drivers for the GIT work perfectly for all units especially the RP48's on my 777X and the NGX, but not
    on my 747 Queen of the Skies. The T8's work fine I have all my fuel start, Lights and Parking brake working
    tried to programme the Autobrake but nothing happened, I also tried the configuration you
    gave to someone else for the APU start switch, that person got it to work on his 747, when
    I tried the exact same commands still nothing. For that one I tried CLK EVT_OH_ELEC_APU_SEL_SWITCH
    then ROTATE, I have also tried to programme CPT Baros same result nothing.

    As I said I can get the T8's, TQ6 and MCP Advanced to work just not the RP8's they are seen by
    the software as RP48 x 2 which is correct. Could this be a bad install of the PMDG Queen of the Skies?

    Thx

  • Hi Steve

    I forgot to mention after seeing other posts on here my MCP Advanced is showing zero's for all PMDG
    aircraft e.g. 747X, 777X and the NGX but that does not worry me as I can see the displays on the aircraft
    changing and all the buttons work exactly as published in the Guides

    Thx
    Bruce
  • If the MCP Advanced is showing zeroes, you need to read the FAQ entry about this issue and get it working before anything else.

    Best wishes

  • ok Steve will look at that and report back

    Thx

  • Hi Steve

    MCP Advanced now working perfectly, it was the .NET Framework that was the root of all the problems
    with the MCP. Just a suggestion maybe you could add to the FAQ on this problem something of the order
    of " if all the above are in order then check you have the latest Microsoft.NET Framework drivers." Someone
    else on the forum had exactly the same problems with the MCP as myself and his cure was the .NET Framework
    drivers. The RP48's still don't work no indication of the green lights when moving the rotaries

    Best Regards
    Bruce
  • Will do, thanks.

    Do the lights come on when using GoFlight's GFConfig when you click on the device? If not and you are running Windows 8 or above, see this thread: https://www.pollypotsoftware.org.uk/vanillaforums/index.php?p=/discussion/592/unable-to-get-working#latest

    If the above works, then can you list what have you programmed onto the LED's for the RP48?

    Best wishes

  • Hi Steve

    Problems all fixed now. The reason I couldn't get the Rotaries to work is that I did not enable the
    buttons at the same time. Both my RP48's are now working as well as the MCP Advanced.
    Still can't believe that it was something as easy as enabling the RP48 buttons as well as the rotaries
    that cured all the problems. Thanks for making such a superb piece of software

    Best Wishes
    Bruce
