PMDG B737-700, Cargo- missing presets | MobiFlight | Page 1

Hi, I found only 4 release events (FMS)- is it correct, that for every FMS button, I will need a release event assigned? If yes, why is it- is it, becaus a button is like a 2 way switch, which on and off position? What happens, if I am only using a press event? Also for a few buttons, the wrong event # number is in the presets- may be because I am using the cargo plane?

#

I don't think I understand your question. Why do you think you need to use release events on the PMDG 737 FMS keys?

#

I have never used the cargo version. What event numbers are wrong?

#

I am using the ww PFP. I order to use the keys, I have to assign a input event. There are on press and on release events- what are the release events for, if you dont need them? Look at LSK 1L, it has the wrong variable#. + the label is wrong too (I think it is LS 6).

Use or no use of on release all depends on what you are doing and how the aircraft events are modeled.

#

A latching switch will always require configuring both on Press and on release.

#

Some aircraft are designed with both on Press and on release in their momentary button coding.

#

Fenix A320 comes to mind

#

I can see different #'s on press and on release.

#

MD-11 has it too.

Where are you looking? Not in PMDG 737 events.

AAOs

#

Every aircraft developer does their own thing. There is no fixed way of doing anything. MD-11 has press and release events.

#

I can't speak for AAO. I know very little about that.

#

Never used it.

Where are you looking? SDK?

sturdy sierra Mar 23, 2025, 3:30 PM

#

All presets are in Hubhop

hidden dune Mar 23, 2025, 3:30 PM

#

No, where are you looking for those event#? I believe PMDG 737-7 and 737-7 F will be the same.

sturdy sierra Mar 23, 2025, 3:48 PM

#

I would also expect them to use the same events numbers

#

#

this is from the PMDG 737 vc xml file. The left FMS LS 1 event uses code 534, which is consistent with the code used in the Hubhop event.

#

#

#

this is my FMS left LS 1 button input config in MF Connector.

#

I tested again and it works just fine

#

please show your input config.

#

Thanks for that, you can see, that the description is FMS Left L6.

sturdy sierra Mar 23, 2025, 4:03 PM

#

description is just text, the author made a typo

#

the label does say LS 1

#

name label I mean

hidden dune Mar 23, 2025, 4:04 PM

#

Just a typo,ok. Can you see also the release is 53404? It is always +3

sturdy sierra Mar 23, 2025, 4:04 PM

#

there is no release event for this button. what do you mean?

#

the two digits at the end of the code is the mouse action requested

#

01 = LEFT SINGLE

#

04 = left release

hidden dune Mar 23, 2025, 4:07 PM

#

Thats what I mean susing AAOs I see on press 53401 and on release 53404.

sturdy sierra Mar 23, 2025, 4:07 PM

#

why are you asking an AAO question in the Mobiflight discord?

#

we don't have a 04 preset, because it is not needed

#

there is no need to configure anything in the on release for this to work

#

PMDG maps all the mouse actions to all events

hidden dune Mar 23, 2025, 4:09 PM

#

My question to keep it short, do I need the the releas event?? What is this 04 = left release for? The 737-7 presets have 4 release events, thats why I was wondering, why only for 4 keys...

sturdy sierra Mar 23, 2025, 4:09 PM

#

that does not mean they are used

#

04 means left mouse button release

#

as I said, having the mapping for the mouse action in a PMDG aircraft, does not mean it is being used.

#

they map ALL mouse actions to all buttons

This is made by you:

#

CLR is an exception because CLR has a long press function

#

so if you only send the on press, the button will remain pressed forever

#

that is not the case of 99% of the buttons

#

actually, I think if you only send the on press for CLR, the button remains pressed only long enough to be considered as a long press, so you only get the long press function to work.

hidden dune Mar 23, 2025, 4:15 PM

#

Ahh, ok thanks- I will need this kind of long press for the MD-11, which is not yet in the presets ( when I tried it the last, a while ago)- can I use your preset for the 737 for the MD-11 (changing the event# of course)?

sturdy sierra Mar 23, 2025, 4:17 PM

#

I am pretty sure none of the PMDG presets will work in the MD-11

#

you will need to change not only the event #

#

PMDG uses the K:ROTOR_BRAKE

#

MD11 uses L:CEVENT lvar

hidden dune Mar 23, 2025, 4:18 PM

#

#

Yes true, but how did you setup the long press function?

sturdy sierra Mar 23, 2025, 4:19 PM

#

I have no idea if the mouse action coding from PMDG works in MD11 either

hidden dune Mar 23, 2025, 4:24 PM

#

I checked on the MD-11, it works there also- I did not press long enough🙃 Thanks for your time!
