EFIS MINS/BARO knob configuration MUST be set to ROTARY

In order for the EFIS MINS/BARO knobs to work OK, the MINS/BARO knob option must be set to ROTARY in the
FMC's Simulation Condifuration Menu ( page 3)
With this option set you can easely change the values for MINS/BARO both slow and fast

Hi Roar
Thanks for the info, but what is the value for the MINS and BARO dual rotary in the ini? I can't seem to get them programmed... Everything else works great.

Hi,
Not sure I understand your question.
The change is not to be done in the ini file. You must make the change in the PMDG FMC setup

Hi
Yes I done that and it works although my problem is I have a dual rotary setup and I can't program the rear rotary for the MINS / BARO. The front works fine (controlling the QNH etc) but I need to select the MINS BARO in the VC

Then you have to make some modifications to the EFIS script code.
You find the code in text format if you do a SIOC.exe / edit_script and load the OCP4777X script and then a export to
text.
Do the modification to fit your hardware and then recompile.

HI,
You should find the script/code lines for swithcing between Radio/Baro and IN/HPA and if you have double encoders for these delete these lines.
Then modify the lines that so your back encoders connects to t_Baro and T_mins.
You have to try and test.

Hi
I just can't seem to get it but I know my inputs are :
MINS / RADIO - 12 BARO - 11
BARO / IN - 9 HPA - 10

Sorry, no time to look into this issue. You have to invest in some time yourself.

Has anyone been successful with the BARO/MINS knobs ? I have set it to Rotary, but I get alternating no response and Increments of 5 (or .05 when using inHg).
So for every turn I get...
No Change - 5 - No Change - 5.....
Driver used OCP4777_v4.0.
EFIS works perfectly in 737NG
