Hi John Thank you very much, that worked throttle works as it should I appreciate all your help on this topic Best wishes Rhys

Hi Log file now shows changes. As per the last post I removed [Auto..Bell UH-1C] section but nothing showed up in the log so I reinstated it I did get data Cheers Rhys FSUIPC4.ini FSUIPC4.log

Hi John Ok here is the latest log file. This one does show throttle axis value and Lvar value which I hope is what you are after Cheers Rhys FSUIPC4.log

Hi John Thank you for your help and please forgive me if I am making things frustrating for you which is not my intention. Between my dyslexia and a ADHD I am as frustrated with figuring this out as you are as I try to implement your instructions here is the Lua script with the ipc,log uncomment out but I just not sure in the text where to add the offset logging for offset 66D0 local ThrottleOffset = 0x66D0 function throttleControl(offset, value) -- Calibrate value from range -16384 - +16384 to 0-100 -- NB if the lvar range is fifferent, change this, e.g. if the range is 0-1, use -- newValue = (value + 16384) / 32768 newValue = (16384 - value) / 327.68 ipc.log("Throttle axis value is " .. value .. " resulting in lvar value " .. newValue) -- send value to lvar ipc.writeLvar("L:UH1_THROTTLE", newValue) end event.offset(ThrottleOffset, "SD", "throttleControl") --ipc.log("Milviz Bell uh1 redux ThrottleCollective-handling lua now running") Regards Rhys

Hi Here are the two files, hopefully I have captured the correct data for you I know you mentioned invalid button assignments in the dodsim -{}- They are assigned and work. I wonder if it is the event file that I am using that the buttons don't show up like the in Milviz MD530 and the Bell U-1C. Cheers Rhys FSUIPC4.1.log FSUIPC4.ini

Hi John Started from scratch again. I didn't realize that I only need to set the offset Dword to the first drop down box I cleared the second drop down box so the throttle now moves in the correct direction but I won't rotate back to idle Rhys

Hi John Only just got back to the simulator after adding a Leo Bodnar button box and reconnecting all my switches and axis I deleted my ini file and started from scratch. For some reason the Lua is not working here is the ini file and log file. Trying to tidy up my aircraft profiles as you have pointed out Cheers Rhys FSUIPC4.ini FSUIPC4.log

Thanks John That's helped but the collective in the cockpit is increasing but not decreasing when rolling back collective. The hardware collective is doing what it's supposed to.when I roll on the throttle the N2 gauge increases and when I roll back the n2 decrease the cockpit collective stays in the full position I am in the process of re connecting my switches as my 32 button interface from Leo Bodnar has turned up and I am tidying up my cockpit wiring I will remove the ini file and start from scratch with a clean one and start re assign my switches and rotary encoders to tidy everything up. Cheers Rhys

Hi John Good news its now working the minor error in the script fixed it. How do I reverse the axis, the throttle in the cockpit is opposite to my hardware throttle Cheers Rhys

Thanks John I will correct the issues you have pointed out.I always assumed that the modules folders was the installation folder I really appreciate your time and help Regards Rhys

Hi John I have included my ini file Added the Auto to the ini file and set axis to send to FSUIPC offset and lua file is in my installation folder but no joy Cheers so far for your help Rhys FSUIPC4.ini

Hi John Sorry struggling on this ,adding a Macro is about my limit of knowledge when it comes to programming. I can transfer the zip file I have for you to look at at your convenience Cheers Rhys

Hi John Here is the file, but might need your help on 2 things if are able to. One switch I just can not seem to find in the variables list Plus the collective throttle shows up as 85859 ( L:UH1_THROTTLE = 0.000000) as the throttle is a axis and not a switch I am not sure what to do. In axis assignments I have mapped my collective throttle to pro pitch1 and when I rotate it, the engine spools up but the collective throttle in the 3d cockpit sits in the idle position so I have to use the mouse to rotate the collective throttle to get the N2 needle gauge to get to full for take off Pm a email and I can send you the files Cheers Rhys Bell_UH1C.mcro

Hi John Thanks heaps for your help. with some perseverance I created a new macro and placed all the switch commands into it and eventually found the correct one. I have also been able to assign switches in another aircraft using the local panel variables that in the past could not assign Cheers Rhys

Hi John I can send you the freeware fsx se version Installer I have found on my old PC. I thought the newer version at Blackbird freebies was an updated version for fsx se but it was only for p3d. I can add a image of the switch on the panel which I am having trouble with. Let me know the best way to send you the file Regards Rhys
