John, was too excited so I tested it, and it works like a charm!! Thank you so much 😉

Hello John, The numbers I posted were for the log file lines. thanks for the post. yes sorry wrong forum. I will check it out tomorrow. Cheers, Xander

*** Moved from main support forum to FSUIPC7 / MSFS support sub-forum *** Hello, I am referencing TFDi's website TFDi Design MD-11 Integration Guide | Invernyx Docs where it documents eventID's for most buttons in the cockpit. (Click on EventID's on the left to slew the page to the list). With these it was a breeze to program all EFIS SD system page buttons on my joystick. However now I am trying some oth buttons but have hit a wall. The procedure does not work. I have attached the log file. The event between 32906 and 33422 is a successful programming and implementation of selecting a button in the cockpit. (SD ENG page). The events between 37812 and 38047 show how even though I programmed the button exactly the same way as the previous one. It does not work. Any ideas? FSUIPC7_prev.log

Was looking in the wrong place. Thanks John !!

Sorry, I forgot to check if I was in the FSUIPC MSFS forum. I was not. This is for MSFS.

Hello, I am trying to figure out how to properly set reverse on the A300. I have managed to do both idle and full reverse, with one additional wish. Which is to set idle reverse just a tad higher. The way I have it now is to use two buttons on the "Throttle Reverse Thrust Toggle". This lets the throttle go into reverse mode, to set the appropriate amount of reverse. Two additional buttons on my Honeycomb Bravo are set to "Throttle 1(2) Axis Set Ex1" with appropriate parameter values for about 70% reverse and idle reverse (when the button is released). This works well. Pull the levers and they go one click into idle. Pull the throttles into the reverse button range and I get 70% reverse. Back out of the reverse button range, it goes back to idle reverse. Then I lower the reverse levers and it goes back to forward reverse. What I am trying to accomplish is that when I pull the levers, it not only toggle reverse, but also sets a "Throttle 1(2) Axis Set Ex1" value slightly higher than idle. To do this I would need to make a Lua. ipc.control(68069) ipc.sleep(1000) ipc.control(67103) This is what I have at the moment. 68069 is the throttle reverse thrust toggle and 67103 is the "Throttle 1 Axis Set Ex1". The question is, can a write in the Lua a parameter to accompany the second ipc.control? In other words a parameter value to go with "Throttle 1 Axis Set Ex1"? Many thanks, Xander

Starting to slowly get the logic. Thanks !

John, the axis is active. Thanks a million. one last thing, for my Bravo, the lever is reversed at the moment. What needs to change in the MyEvents entry to reverse the movement? I tried different variations of the values in the string but to no avail. Thanks.

Tell me about it 🙂 It's a royal pain to get proper functionality.

John, that sounds easy enough as I already have that file with various entries. And what is written above makes total sense. I'll update and add the entries as soon as I'm back. Hope the doggies enjoyed their walk. Thanks for the support.

Wow! A lot of replies. Currently going on layover and will study all reponses 👍🏼

John, I have various Lua’s with basic button control etc. I’m sure I can figure it out. If not I’ll give a shout out. 😊

On the topic of the Bonanza, it seems Black Square have a different setup for the turbo variant. The axis is controlled via an Lvar "L:BKSQ_MixtureLeverPosition_1" with the values as ,percent. If I execute this calculator code for example; 50 (>L:BKSQ_MixtureLeverPosition_1, Percent) FSUIPC will place the mixture lever to 50%. Searching through the advanced users document, it wasn't clear to me how I can map this Lvar to an axis, so that axis position can correlate with the percentage. Can this be done?

John, processing the axis through the calibration did it. Before that I tried every possible combination of what was suggested above with differing results. Non satisfactory. I then processed the axis and viola. So it was completely my bad. I was under the mistaken assumption that the "Send to FS as normal axis" required no processing. But I was wrong. Thanks again.

Hello, I am having a slight issue with the A36's Mixture controls. I do have it working finally with the following line; 3=AV,256,F,65919,0,0,0,*-1 -{ TO SIM: MIXTURE1_SET }- However, the lever operates through its full range only in the upper half of the physical axis range. ( 0 to -16384 or to 16384 because it is reversed). I would like to add resolution by allowing the full 32k physical range to adjust the axis in SIM. I tried going through scaling for advanced users by for example changing it to this; 3=AV,256,F,65919,0,0,0,*-1,+16384 -{ TO SIM: MIXTURE1_SET }- but that only moves the movement from one half to the other. Is there a way to force full resolution onto the SIM axis? Cheers, Xander
