PMDG 747 APU issue
Hello Steve, It's been awhile since I last posted.
I just installed the PMDG 747 QOTSII and the 747-8 enhancement (P3Dv4.5, WIN10) and have encountered a problem assigning the APU Start command to a GoFlight T8 toggle.
For the PMDG777 the following has worked without problems: Event: EVT_OH_ELEC_APU_SEL_SWITCH || Action: CUSTOM_WITH_OFF (Custom = 2)
It does not seem to work for the 747's. The switch moves to "Start" and about 25 secs later moves back to "ON". However, the APU start sequence does not occur.
In the virtual cockpit, the APU start is triggered with two right mouse clicks.
Be safe!
Claude

Use MOUSELEFTX2_WITH_OFF. This was designed for the APU switch.

Thanks for the reply, but the command, "MOUSELEFTX2_WITH_OFF", did not work on the 747!
Since the mouse clicks that work are "right" clicks, I decided to try the command "MOUSERIGHTX2_SLOW_WITH_OFFX2" and to my pleasant surprise it works perfectly!
The visual effect is the APU Selector knob rotates to "ON", then after several seconds rotates to "Start". After several more seconds, the APU start sequence initiates and the knob returns to the On position. Flipping the GF-T8 toggle switch to Off, results in APU shutdown.
Thanks again!
Claude
