So which don't work?  Without seeing the log I can't help further.

Pete, .. I think i got things figured out now. I went into the SDK, computed the Event ID and set the appropriate parameters in FSUIPC and the buttons are responding. Thanks for your help and time. Much appreciated.

For many things you can normally assign to for default and less sophisticated aircraft, PMDG implement their own controls. These are llisted in their SDK. They can be assigned if you work out the number and use the <custom control> facility in FSUIPC.

Aircraft functions such as?

Perhaps you should show me your FSUIPC5.INI file. You'll find it in the Modules folder.

Looking back, you said:

By "bind" do you mean "assign"?  Because if you cn't assign them how did you assign one to opening and closing the ATC menu? Surely that shows that they are being received and sent on.

You could enable Event logging in the FSUIPC Logging menu and see if the correct controls are being sent when you press buttons.

Pete

 

I enabled the 'event logging' and it shows a bunch of events scrolling down continuously without end. 

And by by 'bind' I meant I am able to assign key to functions but when i move to the aircraft those 'assigned' keys do not do anything. 

'733360 *** EVENT: Cntrl= 65701 (0x000100a5), Param= 32 (0x00000020) VIEW_ZOOM_SET' .....  this is a line from the whole lot.

'853828 *** EVENT: Cntrl= 66514 (0x000103d2), Param= 0 (0x00000000) ATC_MENU_CLOSE'....... and this line appears anytime I flick the switch assigned to 'atc menu close'

Are you sure you aren't trying to use functions which are implemented differently in the PMDG aircraft. Please test with a default aircraft.

The state of buttons is read at the same time as the axes. FSUIPC can't get on without the other.

Pete

 

Thanks for the reply Pete.. 

Also does not work for default. What do you mean by "implemented differently in the PMDG aircraft"? I have disabled all controls for the PMDG in Prepar3d v4.

The buttons and switches work when I assign them to other non aircraft functions like... 'open and closing atc menu'. It just doesn't have any effect on the aircraft functions.

I'm using the x55 rhino and on prepar3d v4 with the PMDG 747 v3. I'm able to bind axes but not buttons or keys. I follow the process normally but it just doesn't have any effect in the aircraft. Throttles, rudder, ailerons and elevators all work perfect. Thanks for helping. (I have a registered version of fsuipcv5.101j)
