[Rotary encoder speed]

Hi John

Thanks for all your help. I have uploaded my ini file with the changes, If you could have a look to see if my entries for Ingnorthese looks correct the auto script is the last entry

Is there a parameter for the heading bug

Thanks once again for your time and help

FSUIPC4.ini

[Rotary encoder speed]

Hi John

Thank you for that 

I corrected the rotaries script the last entry should have been 26.  In the ini file in what section should I put the  lua auto-started, and with the  IgnoreThese does that entry go directly under the [Buttons] heading 

When I reassign the rotary encoders again do I still need to put in the corresponding  parameter 

 

Cheers

FSUIPC4.log

[Rotary encoder speed]

Hi John

Here is the ini file. I have opened the Lua file and edited putting in the vendors and product name  and in the brackets have typed in the rotary numbers

Could you take a look at the LUA file to see if I have done it right. The jpeg files shows the Lua Rotaries with the blue highlighted  which I assume is the one I use with the offsets entered

Hi John

Thanks for the reply. My encoders are single non detent and are set up right turn increase and left turn decrease. The fast increase is two fast and skips the 10s. I cant get the lua to work I cant find   Rotaries.lua script in the modules folder I have lua.Rotaries which appears in the  fsuipc drop down window

Hi all 

I have  rotary encoders for hsi ,vor and adf but  they require quite a few turns to move. The altimeter instrument  moves a lot faster with less turns than the other 3. 

I am using FSUIPC4 with FSX se and Rotary Encoder CTS288 for Leo Bodnar.  How can I speed  them up 

 

Cheers

[Windows 10 and FSUIPC v4.977]

Hi John

clicked on installer and selected Trouble shoot compatibility and that fixed it. For some reason in compatibility mode it selected windows 8. Maybe there is an issue with my system as devise and drives are not showing in file explorer

Hi John

Thanks  for your response.

I  disabled anti virus and run as admin, still no go. The weird thing is I downloaded the msfs2020 version and clicked on the installer and that brings up 'User Account Control' window 

I re downloaded the fsx se version but still nothing

Hi John

Thank you for the quick reply. Could you point me in the right direction for the update. I will give that a try first. There is nothing in the FSX doc folder just the logbook.bin file

Its running again but still the same error 

I have installed steam and fsx se on a second PC running windows 10 just to test things out

I am going to have to  moving my Sim computer from windows 7 to 10 as steam will end its client portal on Jan 2024

Cheers

Hi 

I installed the current version for fsx se on a windows 10 Pc but got an error message, I deleted all the files from the modules folder so I could start a new install but the installer wont run even when I run as administrator.

[Slope settings for helicopters]

Hi all

This is a general question as evey set up is different, I'm using leo bodnar board but wondering if any of you helicopter enthusiasts have a preferred setting in the slope setup for x and y and pedals axis 

Cheers

[Axis range setting]

Hi John

Thanks heaps. I'm heading on the right track just doing some fine tuning. Thanks for the heads up re assigning axis much appreciated 

Regards 

 

Rhys

[Axis range setting]

Hi Pete 

Sorry for the confusion. I have cyclic and collective mapped. In FSX  the  throttle  controls the helicopter collective the twist grip controls RPM and in flight sim you  assigned this to prop pitch or prop pitch 1,2 etc 

The collective twist throttle has a position  which introduces fuel  which in this case is fuel valve on. in axis control I have assigned the Fuel valve to prop pitch   range 1 which works 

I now want to assign the rest of the movement in the twist throttle to control RPM. Do I rescan the axis and assign the rest of the twist movement to  prop pitch 1 or 2 etc  

Regards 

 

Rhys 

 

[Axis range setting]

Hi all

I have a helicopter collective with twist throttle  which I am setting up to control fuel valve on and off and then control throttle

I have set up the fuel valve and assigned that to prop pitch , range 1, so twisting 1 way turns on fuel twisting other way shuts of fuel

When I set the collective throttle should I rescan an select prop pitch 1 or do I need to select prop pitch and select 2 range 

 

Cheers

[Fsx axis assignments]

Hi all

Since I'm using fsuipc for all my cockpit control's should I delete the axis assignments in the fsx control menu or is un- ticking enable control's all I need to do

[Set up views]

Hi 

Thank you John and aua668 for your help much appreciated

[Set up views]

Hi 

I want to set up a view from the virtual cockpit and move my eye point to looking down to an underslung load. 

I know FSUIPC has  predetermined views but can I set up my view and assign it  so I can cycle through the 2d cockpit view and my new virtual cockpit view 

When I set up my button I get my 2 views but the virtual cockpit view will always go back to virtual cockpit view looking forward

[Rotary encoder question]

Hi John

Thank you for the reply

[Rotary encoder question]

Happy New year all

I am rewiring my Bodnar board for my MD500e simulator.
I have the BU0836X, encoder software and  Rotary encoder CTS 288
I have wired the encoder to 1 and 2 set the config to 1:1

In the windows joystick calibration tool, it tells me that button 1 and 2 are working, so far so good
 
When I go into fsuipc and assign the encoder the button combination shows  0 and 1 when I turn the encoder
Is this correct? shouldn't fsuipc show 1 and 2


Regards

Rhys
