Piper Need some Help with the Mag.

[greatengine]

Piper I have a new problem Can you give me any advice on how to get the mag to work. for the A2A Piper Cub. I went to controls in the menu and clicked on the menu for buttons and keys said new assignment and clicked the M key on the key board, said load. Than went back into the flight I have going. Pushed on the M key but it still does not work. the mag. I pull the seat down till I see the mag and run it from the mouse but I Sure would like to just be able to push the key on the keyboard. and make it work. Example I push the key H and the carb heat works great in or out. also is there any key on the key board that will turn the fuel on and off. That only works on the menu and the mouse. Or is the menu shift 3 the only way that works. the rest of the program works great. Including Heidi,and all sounds. Im just on a flight right now from Oshkosh Wisconsin to Chippewa Falls Win. to a lake called Wissota We have a friend that lives right at the center of the edge of the lake so I have 170 Nm left and Ill be landing on the lake with the cub on floats the yellow. its been an interesting flight so far. Well I hope you can give me some answers for these problems. Be waiting to here back from you thanks great engines.

Hello,

When you run the input configuration are you making sure to right click and select 'run as admin'?

Also make sure your sim is not running when doing this is best also.

thanks,

Greatengine as a non A2A member just a forum member, your remarks about not having enough help is out of order and totally unfair.Scott the owner of A2A took the trouble to contact you and help.Lewis has spent a long and very patient time with you.
Please read the manual which you will find under your start programs/A2a directory.
This aircraft is not a jump in and go aircraft it is a complicated simulation and very accurate.
Please read the posts that have been made to help you and take one step at a time.
Go back over your previous posts and read what Lewis and others have advised you to do.
Cheers Chris

The M key only selects the mags for control. You then have to push + or - to cycle through the selections. I e M followed by + three times to go to both mags.

At least when you have a mag turnkey. I do not have the A2A Cub, but I assume separate switches for each mag. Look in the FSX manual/help if the above doesn't do the trick.

Greatengine are you aware that the magnetos switch in the cub can be operated by your mouse.

You will find the switch high up on the left hand side of the aircraft above the left window.

Cheers Chris

Hi Chris I do know the mag is up high in the corner and can be used with a mouse. I just thought it would be easier to use the keys instead of going up to the corner to make it work. Thanks for the advice Greatengine.

Its ok this method works Fine. and thanks for telling me Im using the forum the right way. Ive just finished getting my CH Pedels all Programed in and they work great so with My A2A J3Cub Program all in and running. I won't Be Bothering you, Piper Scott and all the others that helped to get this running. I have appreciated all the help. Greatengine
