MU2 Commands

The MU2 uses many custom commands, which can be mapped to your hardware. In addition, we also augment many standard X-Plane commands. Best practice is for us to use the default X-Plane commands wherever possible so that users do not have to remap all their hardware buttons and switches for their expected functions. In most cases, this works well and is transparent to the end user.

We also prefer to provide custom commands for most every one our controls. This provides us the ability to easily modify behavior in the future if the need arrives. In many cases; however, the MU2 custom commands will simply execute the default X-Plane commands.

When using the keyboard or mapping hardware buttons to the starter buttons, then the following two commands below are required to be used for proper starting of the engines however, instead of Laminar default engage_starter_[n] command,

xscenery/mu2b60/left_engine_start
xscenery/mu2b60/right_engine_start

In addition, you can use the following command to toggle the parking brake in/out. We do not use any of the default X-Plane brake commands for the parking brake.

xscenery/mu2b60/toggle_parking_brake

Augmented Default Commands

Augmented Commands are default X-Plane commands that we have either overriden completely or added extra functionality to. As such, these commands may behave differently that what you normally experience with other aircraft using these commands.
