| This is the reply i wrote on the usenet newsgroup to same question
,but slightly more detail maybe.
I also made an error with previous post here
,there are 4 default conditions allocated taken from the first 40 locations,therefore to edit the condition ordering (without screwing up any of the other model memories
you need to borrow them from conditions 40-50 or rather copy or SET some of the existing/new ones into those locations and then set them back up in the model memory in the order you want by using CPC.Also it's a good idea to have one
of Angelos Gonias's service menu enablers in case you totally screw up the condition list or have weird anomaly's in other model memories:-)
<< I'm fairly sure you'll need to re-juggle your flight modes,from
what i remember they run in a priority order in the model memory list
,so higher numbers of the possible 8 is capable of overiding the other
lower ones(especially when they span across different switches), i think
the thr-hold flight mode MUST remain the last in the list or you won't
be able to override ALL the modes at any time with the thr-hold switch(i
could be wrong about that though).The default order is
D: xx -Normal
2: xx-Idle-up1
3: xx-Idle-up2
4: xx-thrHold
where xx equals the condition numbers from the possible 50 (initially
auto-allocated)
to get what you want i think this is what you'll need to do
d: xx- Idle-up1
2: xx-Idle-up2
3:xx-Idle-up3
4:xx-Idle-up4
5:xx-normal
6:xx-thrhold
In that order thr-hold has highest priority and will overide any of the
others
when you hit the seperate thr-hold switch.If you are already in your new
idle ups (on another switch of your chosing) and you then switch the
usual 3 position switch back to normal mode it is higher priority and
should overide the new modes you are already in.The trouble now is that
because you have two extra modes you'll need them on another 3 position
switch so you can drop back to idle -up1 &2 by dropping back to the
first switch position on the new switch for the extra modes
.Also in all the new conditions and in fact for ALL the conditions you
use you'll need to define the hold switch with the condition menu item
HLD.Re-ordering the conditions in the model memory condition list isn't
particularly easy either and it's very easy to make mistakes,you have to
make a note of it's condition number and then edit the condition to use
new switches+ their active position/s and also the pitch & thr curves +
any other condition settings where relevent.
CHD from the front screen should always work as it won't allow you to
enter condition hold unless the throttle is below a certain %tage.If you
have condition hold defined to a seperate switch then i think the
priority ordering will apply
I hope i have the info right about the per model memory condition
priority,i know i've read it somewhere but i can't find it in the book
when i look now . Maybe i just didn't program the right switches and
define HLD switch.It does my head in just thinking about it now , i ran
into "issues" when i was trying to add just 1 extra flight mode but that
was a few years ago and i can't remember now what the exact issues
were.My advice would be to use idle-up1 for testing your collective flat
spots or whatever and compare it with idle-up2 ie use idleup2 for
your main flying and idle up1 for testing/comparisons
