Hopefully not too long given that the PMDG DC-6 Garmin430 does popout so they know how to do it.

Hi Roar

Yes confirmed, V/S of the v2 MCP is working perfectly now.

Hi Roar

I think you've nailed it. A quick test and it seems to be working as desired.
'think' because it had to be a quick test, I'll give it a more thorough workout tomorrow but it does seem to be working now with the &D_VS4 change = 999998

Hi Roar

Partial success, from 0 to 1000 shows no change, but from 1000 it works perfectly 1100, 1200, 1300 etc.
Going backwards (down) from say 1500 shows 1500, 1400, 1300, 1200, 1100, 1000, 900 but stops showing change there.

Thanks
John

Thanks for your reply mvr1918 My work around of flicking the V/S button off/on is not too onerous so it's not a big issue, just a little disappointing given that everything else seems to be working perfectly. Glad to hear that FSUIPC is not required. Is there nothing I can do in the SIOC script (or ...

Hello Roar again after many years. Using MSFS, currently flying the default C208 in New Guinea which can be pretty challenging weather wise, which has motivated me to get my old OC MCPv2 hooked up again as chasing knobs and switches all over the VC with the mouse is awkward to say the least when the...
