I made a Boeing autopilot and have got it all working except for the autothrottle armed light annunciator. The autothrottle is working but I can't find a Hubhop preset that turns on the annunciator. Any input would be appreciated.

you need to always specify which aircraft.

Thanks Jaime. I'm testing it on the Max 8. It didn't work for me.

I'm having the same problem as Rich. Everything works on my 737 Max8 MCP except the A/T and F/D LEDs. I've tried all the presets, but the LEDs won't light up! Any suggestions?

Hi Jamie, thanks for your reply. Yes, the LEDs work correctly in test mode. Unfortunately, I can confirm that they don't light up with the two presets you recommended above! The preset I used to make the F/D button work is: (>B:FCC_FD_1_ON) and the one for the A/T is: (>B:FCC_AUTOTHROTTLE_ARMED) and they work correctly. I tried replacing the presets for both the F/D and A/T buttons with those of the PMDG and they don't work. Thanks in advance for your help!

OK, it would be unusual for presets from PMDG to work with any other vendor's aircraft
So this is resolved?

No, it's not solved, the LEDs still don't light up!

Try with the same Bvar (B:FCC_FD_1_ON)

#

I only have 2020, but I could take a look later.

Finally, both turn on! The presets that works are: (B:FCC_FD_1_ON) and (B:FCC_AUTOTHROTTLE_ARMED). Thanks a lot for your help!

Update. I went into MSFS2020 iFly 737 Max8. I can confirm (L:VC_MA_1_LIGHT_VAL) and (L:VC_MA_2_LIGHT_VAL) both toggle value from 0 to 5 when the MA indicator led turns on.
