I thought i could only enter 1 number in FSUIPC. As Said, i don’t have it just yet - might be my mistake, But As i Said i like to know about stuff before i buy it. I should be all good for this round by now. thank you to both you Pete and John - that last minute elaboration was actually really helpful, and the same for all your answers, Pete. regards,

I’ll put it in another Way. do i just enter the Full, entire number in the FSUIPC parameter box? the reason for the thread seeming repetitive is that i have it this has never been Stated.

My question is not Where to find the parameters, i’m Simply asking What i need to enter in the FSUIPC box, As the parameter is a long number like “131073” or another number like “x00020000” I don’t know What to put in the “parameter” box in FSUIPC When i receive these long numbers. Should i short it Down to either “1” or “2” or How do i understand these numbers? regards,

Thank you for clarifying. It seems i can’t assign a 2-point toggle switch to 2 specific positions on a starter knob (eg. GRD and CONT). Would it be possible to Make one 2-point toggle switch turn the ENG 1 starter knob one turn to the left, When put in the ON-position, use another 2-point toggle switch to to turn the ENG 2 starter knob one turn to the left When put in the ON-position and then use a third 2-point toggle switch to put both ENG 1 and 2 starter knobs one turn to the Right When put in the ON-position? I might have another solution to this. I could use my saitek throttle quadrant’s toggle switches. T1: turn ENG1 engine starter knob 1 turn left T2: turn ENG1 engine starter knob 1 turn Right T3: turn ENG2 engine starter knob 1 turn left T4: turn ENG2 engine starter knob 1 turn Right Now i have one more question. After entring the control number in <custom control> What would i enter in the parameter box (in FSUIPC) if one left click on the ENG1 starter switch (OFF-GRD) (in the PMDG VC) displayed these 2 Lines in the logging file? Cntrl= 69751 (0x00011077), param= 536870912 (0x20000000) <69751> Cntrl= 69571 (0x00011077), param= 131072 (0x00020000) <69751> Appreciations and regards,

The reason i'm searching for this is to insert the command in FSUIPC and set it up to a toggle switch (hardware) and therefore achieve the function by the toggle switch in FS. Now to my understanding i need to insert the control number under custom control in FSUIPC and then enter a parameter to decide the way the switch shall be positioned when i move my toggle switch to On or OFF, therefore i'm looking for the parameter and the correct way to enter it in FSUIPC.

I tried the logging and whenever i turn ENG 1 selector switch either left or right, i get 2 parametres for each click. I get the parametres 131, 536, -214, 524, 419. (Parametres have been shortened). I know this doesn'øt give much info, but i don't understand how these parametres work, should i just short them down and write the first digit of the parameter in FSUIPC after using custom control to enter the control number or how are these supposed to be entered. I just had to realize that it wasn't a switch in the way that i though, each turn position's just another "button". No worries. I hope you can help explain the parametres. Thanks for all your help. Regards,

I’m asking this because i can’t find a command for moving the engine starter rotaries in FSX controls, i Can only move it with the mouse in the VC. I was continuing previous conversation. (The value parameter for Which Way i’m Turning the knob or switch). Regards,

I’m really not that advanced in scripts, files, flags and offsets. I’m looking for a solution to the hardware setup that i would like, and this May not be too advanced As i have more basic knowledge. I am capable of making a somewhat advanced setup using FSUIPC or FS controls. So Its possible to have a switch or rotary choose ENG 1 or 2’s ignition switch position from either GRD, OFF or CONT or Are those specific options not available in FSUIPC? additionally, this might be me not realizing i have it, But could i be provided with a full list of controls you Can assign to switches or toggles via FSUIPC, Thanks. Well, i’m Basically asking How i would know Which value to enter, no matter How the switch is orienter. These might be stupid questions, i’m Just trying to understand the producents i wanna buy, before buying Them, and therefore ending up with the Best solution. thanks, regards,

I know the full engine start procedure, but i ought to have misexplained myself. I'm asking if its possible to purely control the engine 1/2 GRD/OFF/CONT switches with two 2-point toggle switch AND/OR if its possible to control just the engine igniton selector from L to R with a 2-point toggle switch (I set fuel pumps, APU and fuel cutoff levers by other methods)? And if this isnt possible with FSX controls or FSUIPC, is there a Way to setup a rotary switch/turn knob to control the individual engine starters (the one with GRD-OFF-CONT) using a panel like “desktopaviator cessna 1019 panel’s rotary switch” in FSX or FSUIPC??? ( https://www.desktopaviator.com/Products/Panel/Model_1010/index.htm ) How would i decipher the exact value on a Left-Rigth switch (for example the engine ignition selector in the VC) so i can use my toggle switch panel on my desk? I'm not really a genius when it comes to FSUIPC... When i buy the registration code, how will i receive it, and will there be further setup than re-running the installer and punching in the registration once i've received it? I appreciate your vast answers, regards,

152 was an example, I have now found the list you are talking about - it was weirdly located as part of the overhead lights panel, as its in the same row (might be a glitch). R engine start line has #define in front but no number, however at the end of the line it says "third_party_event_id_min + 121" so 121 must be the number i have to add. Now for the base number it says at the top of the contro, events section, #define third_party_event_id_min equals to 69632. With the above mentions in consideration how would i make one number of those exact to enter in FSUIPC to register the action? The mouse cursor changes to curly fingers when a knob can be turned yes, but it doesn't show values or a parameter. And do you by any means happen to know if its possible to use a 2-point toggle switch to control engine start or the engine ignition selector, in any aircraft (preferably the PMDG NGX but i know you don't use that)? Regards,

I can only Seem to find anything with engine ignition/start selector under a “controls and indicators” section, and the full Line is “unsigned char ENG_Startselector[2]; // 0: GRD 1: off 2: CONT 3: FLT” and “unsigned char ENG-ignitionselector; // 0: IGN L 1: BOTH 2: IGN R” so it starts with “unsigned char” and there is no number. I figured the base number is 69632 so would i just for example add 152 (As a control number) to Make it 69784 in FSUIPC? how would i know Which parameter to use for an entry in FSUIPC? thanks in advance,

Hello! i use FSX and fly the PMDG 737NGX Aircraft, however i don’t have the registered version of FSUIPC yet. As of now the only Way for me to start my engines is to find the FWD overhead panel in VC and turn the engine ignition knobs, But i’m Looking to primarily use mu keyboard or my Toggle switch panel module, so i was wondering if there is a Way to assign a keystroke to the L and R ignition switches and the ignition switch selector aswell, and to then use FSUIPC to assign the command to toggle switches. Because When i look at my FSx settings/controls i can’t find ignition switch assignment anywhere (only “starter” 1,2,3,4 But those don’t do anything!!) regards,
