  1. Hey Matt, Question from a beginner. Can you please shed some light on how you were able to resolve this in MSFS? My offsets are: 0x2910 is 0 and 0x290C is 56 Thank you in advance! -Amine
  2. Hey, I did try Lvars as per Paul's suggestion but could not find anything helpful. I guess PMDG never intended for these buttons to be used and are just dummy buttons sitting in the cockpit with no real function. For now, users with registered FSUIPC will have the option to use the LUA and bind the controls to joystick buttons of their choice. For remaining users, they will have to assign joystick or keyborad keys to virtual buttons within the app and use them to acpt, rjct or canc message (which i'm still trying to figure out how to do using Paul's DLL). These users won't see the buttons being pushed in the cockpit though. Subtle you may say, but it make quite a difference for immersion/realism freaks like my self 🙂 Thank you for you support Amine.
  3. Hey, What I came to realize is that these custom PMDG events are not fired when you interact with the VC with the mouse , but are rather control events that are logged only if they are sent by a third party app to control the aircraft (e.g, FS2CREW) or from FSUIPC it self by binding the control to a key press or a joystick button. By doing so , I was able to intercept these calls with LUA and write to a user offset whenever the button is pressed, then read the offset with vb.net . It's not exactly what I wanted in the beginning but came pretty close! Thank you both for you help and suggestions ! I definitely learned a thing or two in the process. Cheers, Amine.
  4. Thank you Paul and John for the quick answer! According to this document https://dokumen.tips/documents/pmdg-737ngx-custom-event-ids-for-use-with-fsuipc-and-fsx-fsx-se-or-prepar3d.html , these three button do have cutom evenIDs associated to them, these are 69810,69811 and 69812. When going through PMDG_777X_SDK.h, there is no var for the buttons in the PMDG_777X_Data structure, but events exit. Now when used the FSUIPC logging as you suggested, I couldn't see such events. As a matter of fact, the is no events when operating any PMDG switch, except for NAV lights and Beacon light, which I guess are P3d default events. does this it mean it's a dead end? is FSUIPC supposed to be able to capture Custom events at all? Really appreciate you willingness to help! Thank you, Amine
  5. Hi Paul, I've been working on a CPDLC extension for the PMDG 777 , something that simmers like myself have been hopelessly waiting for for year with no avail . Here is a preview of the work done so far. You will notice that it was designed to be a seamless integration with the aircraft , and here comes my question. Is there any possible way to get the status of the glareshield buttons ACPT, CANC, RJCT used to handle received ATC CPDLC messages? I'm fairly new to FSUIPC world and pretty much clueless about offests , lvars, etc.. I've spent the last 2 days trying to figure it out with no success. Thank you in advance! Amine.
