Ok I will try the Squawkbox options and see what happens! there is no mention of anything relevant in the FSINN manual that i have seen, unless there is an "Advanced Manual" I intent to use an Arduino board to drive the LED in question and eventually seven segment diplays for radios etc. When i said "drive" I should have said trigger! The VFR button is a strange one, I definitly had to use 3584 to get 7000 on the transponder. I originally tried converting 7000 to hex and that value did not work in the end I used trial and error which isnt very scientific but produced the correct result! I will have another go when I am back on my sim PC. Thank you for your help. Harry

Thank you for the prompt response Pete. With regard to your comment about FSUIPC offset -- 7B91 do you mean that the Squawkbox and FSINN conventions may be the same and that I should essentially use the Squawkbox options for changing modes to see if they work? In the past I have used the button assignments in FSINN itself however it would seem more elegant to use FSUIPC for as much as possible. I will check out the documents folder for the IDENT offset. again i would rather the program lit the LED rather than fudging it with an external circuit. Thank you for the reminder about the VFR button. I seem to recall I had to enter an odd value (3584) to get the desired readout last time. (Would it have been octal?). As you can no doubt tell my experience of your program to date has essentialy been to use it for basic button assignments, I have yet to delve into ofsets or other "coding" operations! Thanks again, Harry

Hello, I have had a break from FSX for a few years (due to my PC running out of steam!) I am just in the process of getting back in and have decided to make some of my own GA "avionics" to compliment my off the shelf yoke, peddles and throttles etc. I am working on the transponder first. I have got the encoders working to change the code and would now like to add a few other features. I use FSINN on VATSIM: 1) is there now any direct control from FSUIPC to FSINN to set standby and mode C? There used to be direct control for Squawkbox, I could not see any change but perhaps i have missed something. 2) I would like to have an LED on my transponder that lights up when I send FSINN an IDENT button press. Is there a way of driving this using FSUIPC? I could build a little 555 timer circuit to mimic the time delay but would rather have the LED be driven by FSINN / FSUIPC for as long as the IDENT icon is shown on screen. 3) On my previous setup I had a button assigned as VFR that would automatically program the transponder to 7000. I made a note of the value required by FSUIPC but cant remember how i set the program to sent it. can anyone refresh my memory! On a more general note, is there a way of seeing a list of all of the button assignments in FSUIPC as a table or list rather than going through each button to see what it is set to trigger?
