  1. I see that there are many possibilities and I'm getting a little lost. Given that I don't want to install Visual Studio on the PC where FS2020 runs with FSUIPC7, I would like to understand if, using WideFS7 on the notebook connected to the same LAN, I have the same interface (forgetting WASM for the moment) and/or I can use FSUIPC Client for .NET as if I were developing with Visual Studio installed on the PC where FS2020 runs. Thanks for your patience. 😀
  2. Hi, by personal choice, on the PC on which FS2020 runs I do not install anything that is not strictly necessary such as FSUIPC7 which I use with a registered license. I would be interested in developing software with Visual Studio that is already installed on a notebook that I use for that purpose. The question is the following: If I purchase a license for WideFS7 and register it on FSUIPC7 then run WideClient from the notebook while FS2020 is running on the PC, what do I see on the notebook? With WideClient, does the notebook see FSUIPC7 as if it were running on itself? Thanks in advance!
  3. Hi John, thanks for your answer, now all is more clear to me, also finally I've found the events in dropDownList.
  4. hi, I followed this post carefully and tried to follow the suggested settings carefully. I am using the same files relative to the 320neo FBW (.hvar and .evt) and I have inserted the references in the FUIPC7.INI. I have really tried them all but the Hvar "A32NX FCU HDG PUSH" & "A32NX FCU HDG PULL" do not appear in the dropdownlist as below. Can you help me understand why? Thanks
  5. Thanks John, I simply changed the livery but was enough to create issues. Here, FSUIPC7 list Hvars from C:\FS2020\Community\fsuipc-lvar-module\modules\A320.hvar 8266 SimObjects\Airplanes\FlyByWire_A320_NEO\aircraft.CFG 8281 User Aircraft ID 1 supplied, now being used 8344 Aircraft loaded: running normally now ... 8953 System time = 02/10/2021 17:49:44, Simulator time = 12:49:44 (15:49Z) 8953 Aircraft="Airbus A320neo Easyjet NEO c/s" 9531 Lvars/Hvars received - checking aircraft autos.... With same aircraft but other livery, Hvars from C:\FS2020\Community\fsuipc-lvar-module\modules\A320.hvar are not listed 8281 SimObjects\Airplanes\FlyByWire_A320_NEO\aircraft.CFG 8313 User Aircraft ID 1 supplied, now being used 8375 Aircraft loaded: running normally now ... 9031 System time = 02/10/2021 17:42:44, Simulator time = 12:42:43 (15:42Z) 9047 Aircraft="FWB TAM" 9594 Lvars/Hvars received - checking aircraft autos.... I solved updating Aircraft.cfg of the livery from: Aircraft="FWB TAM" to Aircraft="A320 NEO FWB TAM" and now FSUIPC7 list Hvars again. Thank you so much, a very important thing to know. In case I need to create two files: A320.hvar A320FWB.hvar How should I go about getting FSUIPC7 to distinguish them? Thanks
  6. The last few days I tried to "play" with the Hvars with the options offered by FSUIPC7 (7.2.10 registered) to be able to have a list on the screen and be able to test them using the menu option "Activate Hvar ...", something very useful. Today, after updating the A320 FBW with its installer, I wanted to do more tests but FSUIPC7 does not list any Hvars. What may have happened? Thanks PS: the Lvars are still listed
  7. Sorry Pete, in the meantime I looked at Linda's common.lua file and found this declaration of the variable 'dev'. It probably remains visible at my functions too. Many thanks and sorry if i wasted your time.
  8. Thanks Pete, I am attaching the two files you requested. (I deleted my references in the FSUIPC7 log) FSUIPC7.log user.lua
  9. My apologize, maybe I was unclear. Below you can see the only code I put in the user.lua file and as you can see I haven't declared the value of 'dev' anywhere. But I can guarantee you that the two functions combined with two buttons work correctly. For this reason I thought that there is a global variable 'dev' declared by some other code that is not mine.
  10. Thank Pete, but my question is another: If 'dev' is already valued somewhere, what are the other already declared valued global variables that can be used? For example, the code snippet below works even though I've never declared the variable 'dev' How can my function know the value of 'dev'? Somewhere else it must have been declared! function Engage_Managed_Heading_Mode () -- PUSH HDG KNOB ipc.control("68065", 2) com.write(dev, "HDG" .. "---", 8 ) DspShow("mngd", "HDG") end
  11. Hi all, looking at some lua script samples regarding VRInsight MCP you can see that there is a handle named 'dev' which is used in the com.xxx functions to read or write data to the device. Since the constant or variable 'dev' can be used as it is already valued, where is it possible to find a list of any other global variables related to VRInsight MCP device? Thanks
  12. Hi John, thanks for your answer I did a clean install of FSUIPC7 and the problem was solved.
  13. Hi All, after starting MSFS, I run manually "LogiMicrosoftFlightSimulator.exe" to manage some SAITEK devices (Radio Panel, ProFlight Panel etc.). Then, I proceed by choosing the CESSNA 152 or 172 in cold & dark and start preparing for the flight. The SAITEK devices are all working correctly and the NAV frequencies shown on the Radio Panel are correct. If I start FSUIPC7 (registered version) to manage another peripheral as soon as FSUIPC7 is running on the display of the SAITEK Radio Panel, the NAV frequencies are replaced by the COMs and if I try to change them by hand the Radio Panel seems crazy, as if it received the frequencies from FSUIPC7 to show. Is it possible to set FSUIPC7 to totally ignore SAITEK devices? Another question, in case I decide to purchase a Spad.Next license, is it fully compatible with FSUIPC7? Thanks in advance
  14. Very interesting, but how implement it? Does it have to be associated with a button?
  15. Hi, I'm trying to customize my MCP Combi. I taken a look at FSUIPC7 documentation regarding the COM library to write a message on MCP display. By default, pushing KNOB (SPD or HDG or ALT) a character '*' is displayed on right side the KNOB pushed. How can I control this output? How can I to change char from '*' to another char? Have I to use com.write (the port is already opened by FSUIPC) or is there another way? Thank in advance.
  16. Hi John, I'm starting to understand how FSUIPC7 works with Linda and VRI MCP Combi. For those who use MCP Combi with FS2020 & A320neo, binding these Functions to the three Knobs and to three Buttons can simulate Push & Pull function Engage_Managed_Speed_Mode () -- PUSH SPEED KNOB ipc.control("68066", 2) end function Engage_Selected_Air_Speed_Mode () -- PULL SPEED KNOB ipc.control("68066", 1) end function Engage_Managed_Altitude_Mode () -- PUSH ALT KNOB ipc.control("68067", 2) end function Engage_Selected_Altitude_Mode () -- PULL ALT KNOB ipc.control("68067", 1) end function Engage_Managed_Heading_Mode () -- PUSH HDG KNOB ipc.control("68065", 2) end function Engage_Selected_Heading_Mode () -- PULL HDG KNOB ipc.control("68065", 1) end
  17. Ok, sorry I found it, but it would never have crossed my mind to find the guides outside the installation folder!
  18. Hi Pete, I do not have that guide "Lua Plugins for VRInsight Devices.pdf" neither is enclosed in my FSUIPC7 registered version. Where I can found that document? Thanks
  19. This is what happens by VRI MCP Combi, taken from FSUIPC's LOG: "ALT" knob: 1st push: 6255015 14148 Button changed: bRef=0, Joy=257, Btn=31, Released 2nd push: 6257968 14148 Button changed: bRef=0, Joy=257, Btn=31, Pressed 6257968 14148 [Buttons] 3=P257,31,C68067,2 6257968 14148 FS Control Sent: Ctrl=68067, Param=2 ALTITUDE_SLOT_INDEX_SET 6257968 14148 *** EVENT: Cntrl= 68067 (0x000109e3), Param= 2 (0x00000002) ALTITUDE_SLOT_INDEX_SET "ALTHLD" button: 1st push: 6263843 14148 Button changed: bRef=0, Joy=257, Btn=3, Released 2nd push: 6265375 14148 Button changed: bRef=0, Joy=257, Btn=3, Pressed 6265375 14148 [Buttons] 4=P257,3,C68067,1 6265375 14148 FS Control Sent: Ctrl=68067, Param=1 ALTITUDE_SLOT_INDEX_SET 6265390 14148 *** EVENT: Cntrl= 68067 (0x000109e3), Param= 1 (0x00000001) ALTITUDE_SLOT_INDEX_SET
  20. I tested also sending the command in the button release event but it seems to enter in a loop. What I have noted in Button & Switch Assignements popUp is any buttons I push on MCP Combi is ignored first push but I need to push it a second time because appears the values in the "Joy#" and "Btn#" field. Is it correct? Many thanks for your attention
  21. Hi John, thanks a lot for your answer. Reading that post I done a big step forward. Testing on my registered version of FSUIPC7 i found that variables in dropdownList and assigned to one kob and to one button on MCP this values for A320nx: Altitude Slot Index Set = 2 -> MANAGED Altitude Slot Index Set = 1 -> SELECTED It seem that they change correctly from Managed to Selected but both require a double push. Is possible to remove the double push? Many thanks
  22. Ok, I'll explain better On my VRI MCP Combi, rotating those knobs runs fine but I would like to simulate the two different actions for the HDG, ALT and SPD: pushing and pulling for change from Managed to Selected Is it possible? Thanks in advance
  23. Hi, on A320neo (same A320nx) the knobs ALT, HDG and SPD can be pushed or pulled using mouse. Using FSUIPC7 log, I see an event related to these knobs is raised: HEADING_SLOT_INDEX_SET SPEED_SLOT_INDEX_SET ALTITUDE_SLOT_INDEX_SET trying to set a value to those variables using LINDA, Lua encounters an error (nil value). The questions are: "Are some kind of variable the three voice above? How can I set the value using a button on a VRI MCP Combi?" Thanks a lot
