  1. Thank you for the quick answer and your help.

    The needle movement is concerned to the SIOC servo card  and of course your temperature range is sufficient so my problem is not the length of the Offset.

    I wish i could get such a good support for FSUIPC also for SIOC by opencockpits...

    Thank you again,

    Thilo

     

     

     

  2. Hello,

    i am working on a compressor inlet temperature (CIT) indicator.  This temperature is rising up to 130° C in supersonic range and is limiting the IAS to approx. 730 knots IAS. The values of CIT are equal to TAT or FSUIPC Offset 11D0. The logging read out S16 works perfect.The Offset length is 2 Bytes. I try to connect my servo gauge (SIOC servo Card) and the indicator works great at positive temperatures. From 0°C to 135°C and down to 0°C. But below 0°C it is not working. the servo is jumping to a crazy value . My SIOC script should be correct ( tried everything), but is it possible to get a needle movement in 4 directions (+up,+down/-up,-down) with 2 Byte length? And if not, how could i solve the Problem? It should be possible to build a tempeature indicator by servo with positive and negative temperature values.I am a beginner with SIOC scripts and FSUIPC, and need help !

  3. Hello Pete,

    ok, the ADI is also called Primary flight Display (Airbus),e.g. artifical horizon. That`s the thing you look on to see your flight attitude, pitch and bank !In modern airplane`s you can switch a

    flight director (cross bar or V bar) on it, but i am sure you know what i am talking about. The F-104 starfighter had an ADI (attitude direction indicator). That`s the same thing.The ADI is linked to the INS

    platform. The INS gives the pitch and bank (attitude) information the the artifical horizon. That`s what the IRS does in the Airbus` PFD.

    I have no working INS System means that i don`t use the real INS platform for my Simulator but the P3DV4 ssw104addon has the INS function in the Simulators Software. So i 

    want to use the Simulators P3D sofware (for my complete F-104 Simulator) and the Rotary Switch in my Cockpit to Switch on the INS.

  4. Oh, ok! I thought it should be possible to align an IRS in a P3D  Simulator by rotary mouse switching the IRS selector switches (3x in an A320 for example ) from Off via ALIGN  to NAV.

    And how do you switch on the attitude direction indicator then? In the FSUIPC5 " 2016 List of FSX and P3D controls.PDF" there is, indeed, no assignment for IRS or INS alignment switching

    or toggle switching.I created 2 Joystick buttons  with an original INS control panel (INS Rotary selector OFF-ALIGN-NAV)but now i have no possibility to switch on the INS.Did a mouse macro help in this situation?I want to switch my INS selector to Align and then to NAV from my cockpit and i want to see on the PC Monitor the Attitude Direction Indicator moving up to a

    correct position to fly.I have no working IRS System, just the rotary selector working as  Joystick Buttons.

    Thilo

  5. Great, that`s how it works. Thank you so much Pete,

    i did how you instructed.I installed outside the System Driver (C:) and installed FSUIPC5 again  as admin. and now the landing gear function is stored perfect.

    That is really an excellent support from you. Thank you again for your patience!

    With retracted gear the F-104 goes so much faster and higher....

  6. Yes, the engine start Switch based on engine 1 autostart  in FSUIPC5 reloads perfect. But i was always talking about the landing gear up and down function,

    that does not reload."still no storage of my button commands" of course refered to the landing gear function,

    Ok, thanks again i will try to start Explorer as Administrator. I also suppose that i am looking at the wrong places.It`s not that easy for me, because in german

    language there are a lot of other words for data files etc. and ,obviously, i am not an expert.The hint for the storage of P3D is also good.Thank you!

     

  7. Now it`s FSUIPC5.DLL in the modules Folder.But still no storage of my button commands in P3D. At first time it works great, and after restart of P3D nothing happens. Then i have to

    programm the gear functions again and it works fine. Especially i do not understand why the engine start button is stored perfectly in FSUIPC5 but the gear Buttons are not.

  8. Hello Pete,

    thanks for your help. I did what you instructed .In the P3D modules folder are the following files:

    -FSUIPC Documents

    -FSUIPC5  Install

    -FSUIPC5

    -FSUIPC5.key

    Then i checked the permissions and i ticked the first 6 of 7 entries.

    Everything looks fine.

    I have to check again the hardware. If i find a solution i keep you informed.

    Thanks again,

    Thilo

  9. Yes, thank you,that`s right. And my horrible english makes it much more difficult for me to understand all the instruction files.

    The version is, indeed,  FSUIPC 5.121a. I am considering about a hardware problem. The gear Lever is an original F-104 starfighter gear lever. It needs 24V

    ( removing ground logic)and then it is configurated via Leo bodnar board as joystick buttons. 2 buttons for up and down.That means one button (down)

    is continuosly pressed when the P3D is started.Before tkoff i have to programm the button signals up and down without any profile settings. After tkoff

    it works perfect. After resetting scenario and 2nd tkoff gear retraction nothing happens.Gear remains down.If i enter F-104 G as profile nothing happens

    even at first take off.

    What can i do? Thank you for your patience.

     

  10. Yes, i did in the FSUIPC Options and Settings, but the profiles are not stored and also changes in buttons like gear down and up is not stored.

    Everytime i close the P3D and start again i have to programm everything again.

     

    And sorry for using the term folder instead of file.I am not an expert, but i obviously have to be one.

    Thanks for your quick reply, 

    Thilo
