Bob Spinner

Thanks John

First , thanks for such a speedy reply, if only everything in life could be as good. Secondly, my apologies for not posting in the correct place. Just so I don't get it wrong in the future where should it have been? Bob

I have searched all the documentation that downloads with versions 4. 5, 6 and 7 of FSUIPC but nowhere can I find the offsets for the rudder and aileron trims. The offset for elevator trim and in conjunction with 'trim set' works a treat. Without the offsets for the rudder and aileron trims the 'trim set' command works just once and that's it. I am in no way a programmer but I am a bit of a dinosaur and so any help in simple English would be very much appreciated. Stay safe Bob

Hi Roman, John. Thanks so much it works a treat. I would never have found a solution via the 'Buttons and Switches' menu interface. The only time that I dabbled with programming was to write a simple maths tutorial in Sinclair BASIC for a ZX Spectrum (that dates me). Now I can get back to setting up the rest of the panel. Thanks again Bob

Hi John Attached is what I hope is a copy of the correct file. I am beginning to think that people are going to have to have the patience of a saint while leading me through my forays into FSUIPC. ********* FSUIPC5, Version 5.152 (24th July 2019) by Pete Dowson ********* User Name="Bob Spinner" User Addr="g1950536@btinternet.com" FSUIPC5 Key is provided WIDEFS7 not user registered, or expired 1265265 System time = 20/08/2019 15:11:33, Simulator time = 15:52:33 (19:52Z) 1265265 FLT path = "C:\Users\Bob\Documents\Prepar3D v4 Files\" [Continuation log requested by user] Running inside Prepar3D v4 on Windows 10 Module base=7FFA14E70000 1310750 Button changed: bRef=0, Joy=2, Btn=16, Released 1310750 Button changed: bRef=0, Joy=2, Btn=17, Pressed 1310750 [Buttons] 2=P2,17,C65928,0 1310750 FS Control Sent: Ctrl=65928, Param=0 MAGNETO1_RIGHT 1310750 *** EVENT: Cntrl= 65928 (0x00010188), Param= 0 (0x00000000) MAGNETO1_RIGHT 1312000 Button changed: bRef=0, Joy=2, Btn=17, Released 1312000 Button changed: bRef=0, Joy=2, Btn=18, Pressed 1312000 [Buttons] 3=P2,18,C65929,0 1312000 FS Control Sent: Ctrl=65929, Param=0 MAGNETO1_LEFT 1312000 *** EVENT: Cntrl= 65929 (0x00010189), Param= 0 (0x00000000) MAGNETO1_LEFT 1312968 Button changed: bRef=0, Joy=2, Btn=18, Released 1312968 Button changed: bRef=0, Joy=2, Btn=19, Pressed 1312968 [Buttons] 4=P2,19,C65930,0 1312968 FS Control Sent: Ctrl=65930, Param=0 MAGNETO1_BOTH 1312968 *** EVENT: Cntrl= 65930 (0x0001018a), Param= 0 (0x00000000) MAGNETO1_BOTH 1315359 Button changed: bRef=0, Joy=2, Btn=18, Pressed 1315359 [Buttons] 3=P2,18,C65929,0 1315359 FS Control Sent: Ctrl=65929, Param=0 MAGNETO1_LEFT 1315359 Button changed: bRef=0, Joy=2, Btn=19, Released 1315359 *** EVENT: Cntrl= 65929 (0x00010189), Param= 0 (0x00000000) MAGNETO1_LEFT 1316250 Button changed: bRef=0, Joy=2, Btn=17, Pressed 1316250 [Buttons] 2=P2,17,C65928,0 1316250 FS Control Sent: Ctrl=65928, Param=0 MAGNETO1_RIGHT 1316250 Button changed: bRef=0, Joy=2, Btn=18, Released 1316250 *** EVENT: Cntrl= 65928 (0x00010188), Param= 0 (0x00000000) MAGNETO1_RIGHT 1317015 Button changed: bRef=0, Joy=2, Btn=16, Pressed 1317015 [Buttons] 1=P2,16,C65927,0 1317015 FS Control Sent: Ctrl=65927, Param=0 MAGNETO1_OFF 1317015 Button changed: bRef=0, Joy=2, Btn=17, Released 1317015 *** EVENT: Cntrl= 65927 (0x00010187), Param= 0 (0x00000000) MAGNETO1_OFF 1318906 Button changed: bRef=0, Joy=2, Btn=12, Released 1318968 Button changed: bRef=0, Joy=2, Btn=13, Pressed 1318968 [Buttons] 6=P2,13,C65934,0 1318968 FS Control Sent: Ctrl=65934, Param=0 MAGNETO2_RIGHT 1318968 *** EVENT: Cntrl= 65934 (0x0001018e), Param= 0 (0x00000000) MAGNETO2_RIGHT 1319843 Button changed: bRef=0, Joy=2, Btn=13, Released 1319921 Button changed: bRef=0, Joy=2, Btn=14, Pressed 1319921 [Buttons] 7=P2,14,C65935,0 1319921 FS Control Sent: Ctrl=65935, Param=0 MAGNETO2_LEFT 1319921 *** EVENT: Cntrl= 65935 (0x0001018f), Param= 0 (0x00000000) MAGNETO2_LEFT 1320562 Button changed: bRef=0, Joy=2, Btn=14, Released 1320593 Button changed: bRef=0, Joy=2, Btn=15, Pressed 1320593 [Buttons] 8=P2,15,C65936,0 1320593 FS Control Sent: Ctrl=65936, Param=0 MAGNETO2_BOTH 1320593 *** EVENT: Cntrl= 65936 (0x00010190), Param= 0 (0x00000000) MAGNETO2_BOTH 1321906 Button changed: bRef=0, Joy=2, Btn=15, Released 1321921 Button changed: bRef=0, Joy=2, Btn=14, Pressed 1321921 [Buttons] 7=P2,14,C65935,0 1321921 FS Control Sent: Ctrl=65935, Param=0 MAGNETO2_LEFT 1321921 *** EVENT: Cntrl= 65935 (0x0001018f), Param= 0 (0x00000000) MAGNETO2_LEFT 1322593 Button changed: bRef=0, Joy=2, Btn=14, Released 1322625 Button changed: bRef=0, Joy=2, Btn=13, Pressed 1322625 [Buttons] 6=P2,13,C65934,0 1322625 FS Control Sent: Ctrl=65934, Param=0 MAGNETO2_RIGHT 1322625 *** EVENT: Cntrl= 65934 (0x0001018e), Param= 0 (0x00000000) MAGNETO2_RIGHT 1323156 Button changed: bRef=0, Joy=2, Btn=13, Released 1323187 Button changed: bRef=0, Joy=2, Btn=12, Pressed 1323187 [Buttons] 5=P2,12,C65933,0 1323187 FS Control Sent: Ctrl=65933, Param=0 MAGNETO2_OFF 1323187 *** EVENT: Cntrl= 65933 (0x0001018d), Param= 0 (0x00000000) MAGNETO2_OFF 1329281 Sim stopped: average frame rate for last 63 secs = 40.1 fps 1329281 Max AI traffic was 0 aircraft 1329281 ------------------------------------------------------------------- [Log closed by user request, and continued in new file] 1644171 System time = 20/08/2019 15:17:52, Simulator time = 15:53:37 (19:53Z) 1644171 *** FSUIPC log file being closed Minimum frame rate was 39.6 fps, Maximum was 40.8 fps Average frame rate for running time of 262 secs = 40.3 fps Maximum AI traffic for session was 0 aircraft Memory managed: 127 Allocs, 125 Freed ********* FSUIPC Log file closed ***********

As a first post I hope that I am using the correct part of the forum. I am using P3D v 4.5.12.30293 with FSUIPC v5.151. A while ago I built a panel to go along with my Saitek radio and multi panel. It was a modest affair as I am not an electronics or programming buff. It consisted of switches, rotary encoders and a 4 position rotary switch to enhance my single engine Cessna immersion. These were all connected to a Leo Bodnar BU0836X and BBI-32 boards. All worked fine. Despite my age my simming experience is of newbie standard but I look to the future. That being the case I decided to rebuild the panel to facilitate a twin engine a/c. adding a few more switches and encoders and a second rotary switch.These two switches are for operating the magnetos. I soon found that assigning 'MAGNETO' in the Buttons + Switches to one of the switches in fact operated both magnetos. Easily fixed; but no. Magneto 1 assigned to 'MAGNETO 1 - OFF - RIGHT - LEFT - BOTH'. In operation the following happens going up going down switch pos actual switch pos actual OFF OFF BOTH BOTH RIGHT RIGHT LEFT RIGHT LEFT BOTH RIGHT OFF BOTH BOTH OFF OFF This happens for both magnetos although they are at least operating independently. I have read the FSUIPC manual but cannot find where I've gone wrong or what I've omitted. Having mentioned the manual, in the comprehensive and no doubt complete list of controls most are self explanitary some are not, e.g. Pitot heat on ,and pitot heat off are obvious: but what is pitot heat set? A list of what all these controls actually do would be most helpful to me and I'm sure to many others. Any help will be most appreciated. Thanks Thomas, I hope that I am right in uploading the 2 files or should I have copied and paste them into the post. I'm SO new to all of this. Thanks Bob FSUIPC5.ini FSUIPC5.log
