Can PFC macros modify L:vars?


Recommended Posts

I'm using FSUIPC and PFChid.dll with a custom macro file. I'm trying to get these macros to change L:var values as described in the advanced guide, but nothing is happening. Here's the PFC.mcro file:

[Macros]
1=AttitudeRef+=L:AttitudePlane=INC
2=AttitudeRef-=L:AttitudePlane=DEC
3=CarbHeater+=L:Eng1_CarbHeatSwitch=SET,100
4=CarbHeater-=L:Eng1_CarbHeatSwitch=SET,0
5=CarbHeater2+=L:Eng2_CarbHeatSwitch=SET,100
6=CarbHeater2-=L:Eng2_CarbHeatSwitch=SET,0
7=PFC:Landing+
7.1=L:LandingLightLeftSwitch=SET,1
7.2=L:LandingLightRightSwitch=SET,1
8=PFC:Landing-
8.1=L:LandingLightLeftSwitch=SET,0
8.2=L:LandingLightRightSwitch=SET,0

What I have confirmed:

  • PFChid.log is selecting the correct macro file and name
  • When using Lua Log Lvars, I see these lvars show up in the log

Hello

Yes it is possible but in two steps.

You start to define your LVAR macros, for example:

1=L:Eng1_CarbHeatSwitch=set

2=L:LandingLightLeftSwitch=set

3=L:LandingLightRightSwitch=set

Then you define the PFC macros

10=CarbHeater+=CM1:1,100  ; single action: call macro 1 with 100 as input

11=CarbHeater-=CM1:1,0 ; single action: call macro 1 with 0 as input

12=Landing+ ; multiple actions

12.1=CM1:2,1 ; call macro 2 with 1 as input

12.2=CM1:3,1 ; call macro 3 with 1 as input

 

In the above example, I assume your PFC.mcro file is the first entry in FSUIPC config file.

If not, change CM1 by CMx where x is the entry number of PFC.mcro inside FSUIPC.cfg.

Finally, it works only with LVAR, I suspect AttitudePlane is an Aircraft variable (A:).

 

Cheers
