Hello, I couldn't find a standard function in Fsuipc to sync the Autopilot heading to the actual heading (Heading Sync). So i made this little lua script. I took the conversion from true to magnetic from the provided sample plugin display vals.lua. Place this lua in your Fsuipc folder and assign it to a button. You will find it under lua Hdg_Sync in the assignments list. If there is a simpler or more elegant way to get this function working, please let me know. Kind regards, Andre HDG_Sync.lua

Hi John, That works! Thank you for help! Cheers, Andre

Hello, Noob question: I want to control the Left, Nose and Right Landing lights of the Aerosoft CRJ, with a single switch. Their respective LVARs are: 1=L:ASCRJ_OVHD_LDG_LEFT=Set 2=L:ASCRJ_OVHD_LDG_RIGHT=Set 3=L:ASCRJ_OVHD_LDG_NOSE=Set And i can control them seperately, but how can i set them with one switch? I tried the multi-line macro from the advanced users manual, but then also saw that this doesn't work wit Lvars. Kind Regards, Andre

Hi John, With the updated Exe it works. I used the compound button programming to condition the opening of Canopy and Frame door. Thank you! I hope you have a lot of fun flying the Spitfire. Cheers, Andre

Oh wow, very nice! If you have a VR set. Try it with that, it really comes to life in VR. And be careful with the Boost on Take-off. I usually start with only 0 Boost till the tail comes up and then slowly increase to 6-8. I'm fiddling around and building simulators as a hobby and have now started to build a Spitfire Pit with the Authentikits DIY controls https://authentikit.org/ Andre

Thanks John, I did try the Offset Float 64 Set/1000 just now, but except for the Offset values changing, no change in behaviour. The Set function normally behaves fine. I use it f.e. to change the Radiator function between Open/Auto with Parameter 0 and 1. But no rush on this. It's really not that important to get this working. I can toggle the door and the unlock is just an extra. I will try to write a LUA file, just for the learning experience. 🙂 Thanks for your help and Kind Regards, Andre

Just tried the L:AIRFRAME_DOOR=Set function again. It does work, but partial. No matter what parameter is set, the AIRFRAME_DOOR value is always set to 0 when i assign this function to a button.

Ok, had some time to play around: I added [LvarOffsets.Spit] 1=L:AIRFRAME_DOOR=F0x66FC to the fsuipc.ini and assigned the Offset Float32 Set/1000 to a button with Offset x66FC and Parameter 100. - The Offset is changed to 0.1 when i press the button but the door is not unlocked. - Also tried Parameter 1000, so the Offset is changed to 1, but also no response. Than i had the Offset value displayed (in the FS Window) to see if it's working at all. - When i unlock the door by clicking on the mousespot for it, the Offset value is also changed to 0.1 (so it seems to be correctly connected to the AIRFRAME_DOOR LVAR) - When i assign a button directly to the LVAR L:AIRFRAME_DOOR=Set, with Parameter 0 or 1, the Offset is changed accordingly, but the door is also not responding. - When i assign L:AIRFRAME_DOOR=Toggle, the door is opened and closed (and the Offset changed to 0 and 1) when i press the button. - When i set the LVAR AIRFRAME_DOOR through the FSUIPC UI /addons/WASM/Set Lvar, it works (also with 0.1) and the Offset is also responding accordingly. -Changing the AIRFRAME_DOOR LVAR by Mouse click, Set LVAR (FSUIPC UI) or the L:AIRFRAME_DOOR=Toggle function, works. -Changing it through the Offset or the AIRFRAME_DOOR=Set (neither 0, 1 or 0.1) function does not work. -Changing the Offset, does not change the AIRFRAME_DOOR value, changing the AIRFRAME_DOOR does change the Offset. Am i doing something wrong here? Otherwise i'll try the 2. Option you suggested. (Will have to dig into the LUA Programming a bit 🙂 ). Thank you for your assistance. Kind Regards, Andre

OK thanks, I'll download the latest FSUIPC version and try this with Offset 66FC tonight. Andre

Hello John, Thank you for your help. I'm not sure my programming skills are up to it, but i'll try my best.. 🙂 Using the lvars-to-offsets functionality, i would add this to the fsuipc.ini [LvarOffsets.Spit] 0=L:AIRFRAME_DOOR=F66FF For Offset 66FF with Type F? In the documentation i could only find SB, UB, SW, UW, SD, UD as size. But no reference to type F? Sorry for the noob question. And then use the Offset Float32 Set/1000 with Parameter 100 through the FSUIPC Button Assignments UI. Kind Regards, André

Hello, I would like to program the Flyingiron Spitfire Airframe Side door to open with my Hardware. This is controlled through an LVAR L:AIRFRAME_DOOR. 1= Open; 0.1 = Closed /Unlocked; 0 = Closed / Locked. I can set the values 1 and 0 just fine, by adding the LVAR to my Macro list and assigning the buttons. But i'm unable to set a parameter value of 0.1. The advanced user guide says: Values are limited to the normal parameter range, –32768 to 32767 How can i set this LVAR to a value of 0.1? Or is this simply not possible? Kind Regards, Andre

Okay, sounds good. Thank you for the info and all the work you do with FSUIPC. Cheers, André

Aircraft labels are called Nameplates in MSFS 2020. I would like to toggle them on/off ocasionally with a Button. There is no assignment option for this in MSFS. Also, i tried the toggle Aircraft Labels under FSUIPC, but unfortunately it doesn‘t work. Is there another way to toggles this on/off with FSUIPC? Kind Regards, André
