Problem with PMDG-747 and FSPassengers

[James8]

My system: FSX,PMDG-B-747,Saitek Yoke and rudder pedals,FSUIPC,
and FSPassengers

Using FSUIPC I programmed 2 buttons of my yoke. One to connect and
disconnect the autopilot,the other one to connect and disconnect
the autothrottle.
This works fine except when I use FSPassengers with the PMDG-B-747.
When pressing on my yoke button the autopilot does not connect/disconnect
anymore and I get an audio message sounding like "feet".

One way around is to use keyboard commands or the mouse and click on
the B-747 buttons.

The only problem I have with this method is that it is too cumbersome
and slow.

When I land by hand I need to disconnect the autothrottle at 50 feet
above the runway and keeping my eyes on the PFD etc

By the time everything is done ( keyboard,mouse click,taking throttle
lever back) it is too late and I do a miserable landing,according to
FSPassengers.


Does anybody have an idea what I could and should do ?

Your suggestions are appreciated.

Don't program the yoke through FSUIPC, program it either through FSX's own settings or the PMDG's.
