  1. Hi Pete, That's exactly what I want :) can you please show me how I can read offset 0AF8? Example:, (all tanks) and I 'll do the rest. Cheers, Phil
  2. Sorry, maybe I wasn't clear...I have a 6 position selector switch which rotates from Wing L Tip tank to L main tank to Center tank to R main tank to Wing R Tip tank and Total fuel, my issue is that I only have one gauge to display all six position :???: . I need to be able to select a fuel tank position and read that tank on the only fuel gauge that I have . Is there an offset which allows the fuel gauge to show different tank quantity based on the tank selection? Example:Rotary selector is positioned to Fuel Tank Right ( 0B94).... what offset do I use for the fuel gauge? Cheers Phil
  3. Dear Pete, Is there an offset(0AF8????) which allows me to switch in between fuel tanks(Lear25) and read the tank quantity on only one gauge? I want to select right tank and read the quantity and select left tank and read the quantity on the same gauge and so on and so forth ........ Cheers, Phil FS9
  4. Hi Pete, Got it working as advertised :razz: !!! Thank you for your help. Phil
  5. Here's a copy of the log file in my FSX module folder: 31 System time = 09/07/2012 12:04:26 31 FLT path = "C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\Flight Simulator X Files\" 47 Trying to connect to SimConnect Acc/SP2 Oct07 ... 47 FS path = "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\" 765 LogOptions=00000000 00000001 765 Wind smoothing fix is fully installed 765 G3D.DLL fix attempt installed ok 765 SimConnect_Open succeeded: waiting to check version okay 765 Trying to use SimConnect Acc/SP2 Oct07 6843 Running in "Microsoft Flight Simulator X", Version: 10.0.61637.0 (SimConnect: 10.0.61259.0) 6843 Initialising SimConnect data requests now 6843 FSUIPC Menu entry added 6875 C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\Flight Simulator X Files\Old Hong Kong.FLT 6875 C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\SimObjects\Airplanes\B737_800\Boeing737-800.AIR 63359 System time = 09/07/2012 12:05:30, Simulator time = 12:04:35 (05:04Z) 63359 Aircraft="Boeing 737-800 Paint2" 64453 Starting everything now ... 64453 LUA.0: beginning "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\Modules\ipcReady.lua" 64453 LUA.0: ended "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\Modules\ipcReady.lua" 65531 Advanced Weather Interface Enabled 83672 Sim stopped: average frame rate for last 20 secs = 15.6 fps 392187 Sim stopped: average frame rate for last 225 secs = 16.4 fps 399906 Weather Mode now = Theme 399906 C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application Data\Microsoft\FSX\Previous flight.FLT 410578 System time = 09/07/2012 12:11:17, Simulator time = 12:04:33 (05:04Z)
  6. is this correct: function checkalt() radioalt = ipc.readUW(0x31E6) -- gets radio altitude in metres if radioalt < 30 then ipc.setbitsUB(0x32F8, 2) --set inhibit else ipc.clearbitsUB(0x32F8, 2) -- release inhibit end end event.timer(500, "checkalt")
  7. Hi Pete, I copied the LUA script that you provided and then open my notepad and paste the content onto the notepad and saved it as ipcReady.LUA into the module folder of FSX as per your instructions . I'm not running any other .LUA files or LINDA files in the module folder. Do I need any other .LUA file to launch the ipcReady.lua file? I tried several flight with the ipcReady.LUA in the module folder, but I still have full control of the the spoiler axis under 30 or 100 radar altimeter or even on the ground. Any suggestions. Best regards Phil
  8. Hi Pete, No, I was inputting 2 as parameter on the old FSUIPC Ver too, but the inhibit function was not working with either "Word Set bits" or "ToggleBits". As per your instruction I updated my FSUIPC Ver to 4.80 and my issue with the joystick button was solved instantly :razz: now with a push of a button I can inhibit the speed brake axis completely using toggleBits. Can you please help with the LUA script so I don't have to physicality press a button to inhibit the speed brake? 100 radar altimeter or aircraft on the ground (squat switch) would be ideal for what I'm trying to do. Thank you kindly. Best regards Phil
  9. Pete, I've assign a joystick button via FSUIPC button and switches tab to control sent when button is pressed "Offset Word set" into the drop down window, and entered x32F8 into the offset window and set the Parameter to 2^1 and pressed OK. I also tried the same procedures with "Offset Word Set Bits" with no luck. The spoilers are assigned and calibrated via FSUIPC. Ultimately, I like to use the radar altitude being less than 100 feet or so instead of the joystick button. Phil FSUIPC Ver 4.745
  10. Pete, I tried to assign offset 32F8 2^1 to a button in FSUIPC to inhibit the spoilers axis, but I having no luck. Is there another offset that I can use? Phil
  11. Thank you so much for your prompt reply. I will try your suggestions. Have a nice weekend! Cheers Phil
  12. Hi Pete, I have the same problem , this is the problem: When the autothrottle is ON, FSX ignores any inputs from the throttle potentiometers. You can move the throttle handles all you want & nothing happens. But unlike the throttles, FSX never ignores the input from the spoilers potentiometers. So, any physical movement of the spoilers sends signals to FSX and FSX itself is trying to activate the spoilers and they get into a tug of war. What was happening to me was that the spoiler handle would just go crazy & move back & forth wildly under certain conditions (I'm using a servo & Phidgets software & hardware to activate the servo. How can I remove input from the spoiler pot on the ground when the spoiler is Armed? Phil
  13. Hi Pete, Thank you so much for a quick reply!!! I now have independent thrust reverses for each engine using buttons!!!! :razz: Cheers Phil
  14. Hi Pete, Is there a way to set independent reverse thrust using a button function in FSUIPC? Can you please shed some light and guide me to the right offset? I want to be able to use 4 different joystick push buttons, one button for each engine reverses(eng1 rev,eng2 rev eng3 rev,eng4 rev).All I want to do is to have the reverses come on with the push of a button, I not looking for proportional reverse thrust just a simple on or off function. Thank you Phil
