Thank you, John. I will use this info. Yuri

That's great info, but after I made my post I actually figured out that I had the axes entries wrong and corrected them to; [Axes.Boeing 247D] RangeRepeatRate=10 0=AX,256,F,x0100A000,0,0,0,*0.0030518,+50 -{ FSUIPC: offset byte set, offset A000 }- 1=AY,256,F,x0100A001,0,0,0,*0.0030518,+50 -{ FSUIPC: offset byte set, offset A001 }- This got me back to where I started with using the default MSFS axes setting, except that I could now use FSUIPC to control the axes with this particular airplane add-on. My issue is that I am using the VirtualFly TQ6+ throttle control with a reverse thrust detent on the same axes. Since there is no way for MSFS or FSUIPC to know that, both use the full range of the control so that idle is through the detent and into the "reverse" range, which is not ideal. So the whole range is -16384 to +16383, but I need idle to be at about 9400 on one throttle and about 10000 on the other for proper idle point on the throttle. Before reading your post I found a solution that looks like this; [Axes.Boeing 247D] RangeRepeatRate=10 0=AX,256,F,x0100A000,0,0,0,*0.0040518,+35 -{ FSUIPC: offset byte set, offset A000 }- 1=AY,256,F,x0100A001,0,0,0,*0.0040518,+35 -{ FSUIPC: offset byte set, offset A001 }- Now the TQ6 sets idle on the airplane at the idle detent on the control and there is obviously no reverse action. This works great, but I'm not sure if it is technically correct or if the math is right. Can you advise? Thanks again.

Hello, I'm trying to get my throttles to respond with this airplane, but I'm having some trouble. This is the setting I used for one of the throttles; My FSUIPC.ini file has these entries; [Profile.Boeing 247D] 1=Boeing 247D Empire Airlines [LvarOffsets.Boeing 247D] 0=L:ENG THROTTLE 1=UB0xA000 1=L:ENG THROTTLE 2=UB0xA001 [Axes.Boeing 247D] RangeRepeatRate=10 0=AX,256,F,x0100A000,0,0,0 -{ FSUIPC: offset byte set, offset A000 }- 1=AY,256,F,x0100A001,0,0,0 -{ FSUIPC: offset byte set, offset A001 }- 2=BX,256,F,x0100A000,0,0,0,*0.0030518,+50 -{ FSUIPC: offset byte set, offset A000 }- 3=BY,256,F,x0100A001,0,0,0,*0.0030518,+50 -{ FSUIPC: offset byte set, offset A001 }- The throttles move, but skip around very quickly and can't really be set. How can I fix this? Thanks.

Just finished setting up all the switches and they all work as they should! Getting the right parameter for the 1004 control was a bit tricky for all the different lights.

Thank you very much for this! I will have to duplicate your codes for the rest of the 3 position switches. Buttons flags must be cleared for proper operation so lines 47 - 50 are the ones that worked. Btw, I couldn't attach the files you asked for since there is a 20kb limit on attachments, sorry. Thanks again!

The lines for the switch are 24, 25 and 47. It's codes 72472 and 72471

In the advanced users manual in the buttons section there is a conditional programming for a switch that may work for me. I have a 3 position Strobe light switch with "ON" "AUTO" and "OFF" positions. The center position is AUTO. As far as I understand I should program the AUTO position like this: Strobe switch moved from OFF to AUTO (code 72472), strobe switch moved from AUTO to ON (code 72472), strobe switch moved from ON to AUTO (code 72471), strobe switch moved from AUTO to OFF (code 72471). As you can see, whether the AUTO switch sends the code 72472 or 72471 is dependent on whether the last switch position was ON or OFF. The center button/switch in my control is the AUTO position and needs to send different commands depending on the previous switch position. How do I program this in the FSUIPC6.ini file? This is what I have so far in that file for my switch box: 24=R2,6,C66587,72471 -{ROTOR_BRAKE}- 25=P2,4,C66587,72472 -{ROTOR_BRAKE}- 27=P2,0,C66587,72477 -{ROTOR_BRAKE}- 28=P2,19,C66587,72476 -{ROTOR_BRAKE}- 29=P2,1,C66587,72482 -{ROTOR_BRAKE}- 30=P2,20,C66587,72481 -{ROTOR_BRAKE}- 31=P2,2,C66587,72492 -{ROTOR_BRAKE}- 32=P2,21,C66587,72491 -{ROTOR_BRAKE}- 34=P2,8,C66587,72487 -{ROTOR_BRAKE}- 35=R2,9,C66587,72486 -{ROTOR_BRAKE}- 36=P2,17,C66587,72512 -{ROTOR_BRAKE}- 37=R2,18,C66587,72511 -{ROTOR_BRAKE}- 38=P2,16,C66587,72512 -{ROTOR_BRAKE}- 39=P2,11,C66587,72497 -{ROTOR_BRAKE}- 40=R2,12,C66587,72496 -{ROTOR_BRAKE}- 41=P2,10,C66587,72497 -{ROTOR_BRAKE}- 42=P2,14,C66587,72507 -{ROTOR_BRAKE}- 43=R2,15,C66587,72506 -{ROTOR_BRAKE}- 44=P2,13,C66587,72507 -{ROTOR_BRAKE}- 45=P2,7,C66587,72487 -{ROTOR_BRAKE}- 47=P2,5,C66587,72472 -{ROTOR_BRAKE}-

Thank you for your reply, but I didn't understand much of what you said. The three position physical switch that I have is like 3 keys on a keyboard (3 positions are recognized in FSUIPC assignments) except that it's a switch like in the picture. The FSlabs 3 position lights switch has 3 unique positions that would correspond to the 3 positions on the physical switch. So, I need 3 separate assignments for each switch position, but the rotor_brake control codes only move the switch in one direction or another giving me only 2 positions for the 3 position switch. I looked up mouse macros in the manual and was able to use that, but it's the same as rotor_brake - the "1" and the "3" in the mouse macros just move the switch up or down, but as you know I need that center switch to move in both directions. So basically I need a "center" position assignment as well as "on" and "off". How do I "hold the current switch position" and "use conditional assignments" as you suggested to program the switch? What are offset and flag values? Thanks for your help.

Hello, I purchased a switch box for the light switches for the FSLabs airbus in P3Dv5. I would like to program the 3 position switches that go from an "OFF" position to a central position to an "ON" position. I've been using the "custom control" feature in FSUIPC with the "Rotor Brake" command to assign the custom control values to move the switches in the sim, but there are only commands to "increase" or "decrease" the switch position. With a 3 position single switch this does not work when moving from an OFF to a central position then to ON and back to the central position then to OFF since the central switch position will have to act as an "increase" and a "decrease" depending on the direction the switch is moved. Is there any way I can fix this with the FSUIPC settings? Thank you.
