Hi guys,

Sorry for double posting this, I hooked on to a previous topic that talked about the rotary and slow/fast controls of the baro minimums and altimeter knobs, but I think my question will remain a bit snowed under since it was a topic from back in February.

So here goes again: 

P3Dv4, latest updates to the 747 have been applied.

I wanted to set the controls of the altimiter and the minimums selector to rotary yesterday, because the slow/fast control just takes too much fiddling for my taste. But when I attempted to change it in the FMC the two items on the corresponding page (20/22) seemed to be frozen for some reason. I couldn't get them to change over. I tried all the other pages in the settings and found that all settings were editable. I'm not sure what is up here, but I thought I would mention it, as it seems something that should be looked at. 

In the meantime I have gone into the .cfg file and manually changed the setting from =0 to =1 and now it is fine in the simulator, but of course this is not the preferred method.

Anyone else seeing this issue? If so, I guess I should open a ticket so the information passes by the devs.

Hi,

I have just checked, the page 20/22 is not frozen on my side. I can change both options (Location of autobrake selector switch and rotary-slow fast/fast options).

Thanks Romain!

I have the same bug; I made a post about it a few days ago but no one else has mentioned it until now.

Thanks for your feedback Alex. 

On my side I only checked with the -400 so far. I don't know if all the 747 variants share the same configuration "module" regarding to the way the QOTS II is programmed but it might be usefull to check for different variants. 

Which variant did you check?

I was in the 400ERF (PH-CKC, Martinair in KLM colors).

I tested ok on the -400 (Qantas Airways - VH-OJM).

I'll check some other liveries when I get behind the pc again later. Will report back.

Those options are disabled intentionally, because the -400ER does not have the option to use rotary switches.  Simple reason that Romain's observation is different from yours.  Has nothing to do with livery and everything to do with variant.

Hi Dan,

Thanks for your input, and it would be a plausible answer to the issue, were it not that on the p3dv3 version of the same livery the option worked just fine. I haven't flown in v3 since the updates, I would have to check back and see if it still works there. 

I haven't had the chance to try other liveries yet. Will report back when that happens.

Actually these options should work for all the variants. It is a bug indeed that affects only the ER in all platforms. Will be fixed in the next update.
