I believe "Is MSFS using updated data but not applying this to the sceneries?" could be the cause of this problem. If that is the case then MakeRwys can't be used to get the correct airport info by reading the BGLs. Anyway, thanks for your reply. Data from Little NavMap also give different Heading values for airport runways than those found using MakeRwys. They are the same as found with SimConnect. Conclusion: MakeRwws data is not correct. and time to skip it.

I do have issues when reading the correct heading of runways with MakeRwys 5.13. Example: KSEA runway 16L,16C and 16R Headings of runways when reading from Runways.csv( the other Runway formats have the same issue) KSEA 161 47.46379 -122.308 433 161 11890 110.3 KSEA 162 47.46383 -122.318 415 161 8493 110.75 KSEA 163 47.46381 -122.311 430 161 9418 111.7 MagVar for KSEA is 16, so it is 177 compared to 180 via SimConnect. When I read the heading via MSFS's SimConnect FacilityRequest i get 180 I am not saying that MakeRwys gives faulty data, but why do I get different results. When I use the data from MakeRwys in my app, my airplane is not alighed correctly with the runway heading, but with a offset of 3 degrees. When I use the data from SimConnect in my app, the airplane is correcly align with the runway heading in MSFS. It is not only KSEA, I just used it as an example. This issue was not there before. Could it be something in the latest MakeRwys version?

The free MSJOY from rksoftware can bind any PMDG Event MSFSJoy is the ultimate joystick button utility for the PMDG 737 for MSFS airplane in MSFS. Bind any PMDG 737 for MSFS airplane switch, knob or button to a joystick button. Now includes "Test Events" for more easy and correct bindings. If you want, you can bind the complete airplanes setup from Cold and Dark to Takeoff to only one joystick button.

I can bind the new Custom Events to both Buttons and Keypresses with FSUIPC. In my own WASM I can send HVars e.g. command = "(>H:A32NX_RMP_L_VHF2_BUTTON_PRESSED)"; execute_calculator_code(command.c_str(), nullptr, nullptr, nullptr); and it will trigger the VHF2 Button But, when I try to use the same code for one of the Custom Events in the list above, e.g. A32NX.FCU_AP_1_PUSH command = "(>H:A32NX.FCU_AP_1_PUSH)"; execute_calculator_code(command.c_str(), nullptr, nullptr, nullptr); it will not trigger the FCU button I must miss something. Are these A320NX flybywire Custom Events not H Vars?

Got it working, my fault

After several months away from MSFS and FSUIPC and just started up again. I have FSUIPC v7.2.8 installed with the WASM module active in MSFS's Community folder and fly the A32NX(flybywire v6.3) I can't get the binding of H:Vars(Events) to work. I have a fbw.evt file in the FSUIPC7 folder [Events] 0 = A32NX.FCU_AP_1_PUSH 1 = A32NX.FCU_AP_2_PUSH 2 = A32NX.FCU_AP_DISCONNECT_PUSH 3 = A32NX.FCU_ATHR_PUSH 4 = A32NX.FCU_ATHR_DISCONNECT_PUSH 5 = A32NX.FCU_SPD_INC 6 = A32NX.FCU_SPD_DEC 7 = A32NX.FCU_SPD_SET 8 = A32NX.FCU_SPD_PUSH 9 = A32NX.FCU_SPD_PULL 10 = A32NX.FCU_SPD_MACH_TOGGLE_PUSH 11 = A32NX.FCU_HDG_INC 12 = A32NX.FCU_HDG_DEC 13 = A32NX.FCU_HDG_SET 14 = A32NX.FCU_HDG_PUSH 15 = A32NX.FCU_HDG_PULL 16 = A32NX.FCU_TRK_FPA_TOGGLE_PUSH 17 = A32NX_FCU_ALT_INC 18 = A32NX.FCU_ALT_DEC 19 = A32NX.FCU_ALT_SET 20 = A32NX.FCU_ALT_PUSH 21 = A32NX.FCU_ALT_PULL 22 = A32NX.FCU_ALT_INCREMENT_TOGGLE 23 = A32NX.FCU_ALT_INCREMENT_SET 24 = A32NX.FCU_VS_INC 25 = A32NX.FCU_VS_DEC 26 = A32NX.FCU_VS_SET 27 = A32NX.FCU_VS_PUSH 28 = A32NX.FCU_VS_PULL 29 = A32NX.FCU_LOC_PUSH 30 = A32NX.FCU_APPR_PUSH 31 = A32NX.FCU_EXPED_PUSH I can't get any of these Events to trigger any FCU activity when I bind them to either Buttons or Keypresses See attached image. Anyone knows what I am doing wrong here? flybywire-aircraft-a320-neo

Not working for me. As soon as I click File/Start it connects, but freezes. Not able to get into any of the menus. Then after a while it closes. I am running latest MSFS version released yesterday.

Does anyone know if there is any offset to check if the A320 is in MANAGED or SELECTED mode for IAS, HDG and ALT? I need this to display correct info in the corresponding displays on my hardware.

I am maybe dumb today, but logging events in FSUIPC with the A320 running gives me continues logging of the same events over and over. It is impossible to trace anything. Something looks weird. Is there a filter option to set? You said: "swapping the COM1 in the UI". What do you mean?

When binding a COM1 Radio Swap to a key it works fine with the default airplanes in MSFS , but not when using the A320 and B787 airplanes. It is the same problem with the INC and DEC controls. It seems to me that these airplanes(A320 and B787) use some other logic than the standard SimConnect Events / FSUIPC Controls. Is there other Events / Controls to be used for these airplanes?

I am a little confused. Can someone enlighten me to understand. With these new events in the lists above. Do I need an updated WASM module? Where can I find that? Or is the already released WASM compatible with this new events?

Hi, Thanks for replying. I will try it.

Hi, I am using P3Dv4 with FSUIPC 5 and have a PMDG B737NGX home cockpit based on Opencockpits hardware modules and my OC4BAv4 home cockpit program. This is my controller that should all be connected all the time. 1. Saitek x52 2. Saitek Rudder 3. Opencockpits B737 Yoke 4. CFY Throttle When I use my home cockpit and fly the B737NGX, I use the Opencockpits Yoke, Saitek Rudder and CFY Throttle. When I just fly in P3Dv4 using my 4K monitor (not my home cockpit setup) I only want to use my Saitek X52 for both PMDG B737NGX and other airplanes. Now my question: How do I set up the controllers to have a working controller scenario that let my use them as described above?

Thanks, I have tried with this SimConnect variable, but can't get any values when moving the throttle lever. In FSUIPC the offset is S16 type, shouldn't it then in SImConnect be a INT32 datatype? It also says unit is Precent over 100. Are you doing any calculation of the SImConnect variable from precent to the -4096 tp 16384 value range before adding to the offset 088C?

Looking in the "FSUIPC4 Status of IPC Offsets for FSX" list you state that the offset 088C for TQ Lever position is a "Ok-SimC works okay using SimVars". Does this means that it is a variable that is defined and can be used directly with SimConnect without FSUIPC? If so, can you tell med the name of the SimConnect variable you are using to get the value to the FSUIPC offset 088C? I can't find it in the SimConnect documentation, that's the reason for my question.

Hi, I have developed an interface app for Opencockpits hardware to be used with Aerosoft's new Airbuses. I have partly used Lua scripting and FSUIPC offsets and need an offset range like 66C0 - 66FF for this app so it doesn't interfere with other usage. I am using the free offset 66C0 - 66FF now, but some users do have some problems as they also run other apps that uses some of these free offsets. I read in the doc that you could provide developers with that if they contacted you. Can you provide that? Roar

hi, just wanted to inform you that a beta version of my OCP4NGX app for interfacing OpenCockpits MCP has been sent to OpenCocpits for test and verification. You can read and write everything that is in the SDK. ( today only MCP is implemented) This is in agreement and permission of PMDG. More modules will be incorprated later together with the future 777 and 747 if those SDK become available. It is freeware. Release will be soon.

Hi Pete, I'm almost ready with my new OpenCockpits IOCP Client for NGX based on the new NGX SDK, but need to make it a little more efficient. You mentioned in this thread some time ago that using a loop for the CallBack MyDispatchProc was not recommended, but instead: " The method I recommend is to use Simconnect_Open with your message-only (HWND_MESSAGE class) Window handle as the 3rd parameter and a user message number defined by you as the 4th parameter. Then you call "CallDispatch" when you receive that message. This is bay far the most efficient method." Could you specify this in more detail as I can't figure out the coding for that. rgs Roar

Hi, That fine, hope it doesn't drag out for months. For me the best solution will be using FSUIPC4 together with LUA scripts, so I wait for it. rgs

Hi Pete, I have started to modify an IOCP Client C++ module I got from lekseecon.com in order to connect my OpenCockpits modules to the NGX plane. After some time struggling with this approach, I now see this will a huge development task and at the same time I'm more and more believing that a solution based on FSUIPC4 offsets and LUA scripting will be much easer to implement, but then I need the NGX SDK variables to be connected to FSUIPC4 offsets. In order to decide which way to go I wonder if you now have heard from PMDG regarding the EULA concern you had and if you still are planning to make the NGX variables available as FSUIPC4 offsets. rgs, Roar

Hi I have downloaded your PMDGWrapper to see if I can use some of your coding in a IOCP Client C++ I am coding to interface my Opencockpits hardware modules. As I am not a professional C++ programmer I don't know what the wrapper really is and what it actually does. Could you explain a little for us "hobby" programmers? What I really need is a call from your wrapper dll ( if I understand it right) to a function in my C++ whenever there is a change between old and new values of the PMDG data. This call should have both the varname and the value. I have a hard time to find out what is the ins and what is the outs in this dll of if it can be used. Maybe I am totally misunderstanding it. Do you have any idea of how this could be done? rgs

Hi Pete, I don't know what your plans are about doing something for the PMDG NGX in your FSUIPC4 now that the SDK is available. As Nico don't wanna do a "lekseecon" for the PMDG NGX I have started to make my own " NGXCon" IOCP client to be used for the OpencCockpits SIOC environement. But, as I am not a "prof" programmer this can take some time before I'm ready. So to my question: Are you going to do what you said: "" I'm starting to wonder if it wouldn't be much tidier to forget the Lua way of doing it altogether, and just have an EXE program which gets the NGX data and posts them to assigned FSUIPC offsets, which can then be read by any Lua plug-ins, and other programs, even on a WideFS client. I would actually consider building this into FSUIPC (it is easy as it already has a working SimConnect interface),"" if so what and what is your timeframe? Then I could do the LUA scripting to get what I want and that is maybe the way to go instead of an dedicated IOCP client based on C++ ( which I need to learn better). rgs

Hi, The way I have implemented this, yes. The OP sioc software is a event driven program. It does only execute code when a variable change value. Either a variable connected to a specific IOCARD input or a variable linked to a offset. rgs

Hi, Here is an example of how to use events to detect offsets changes, both on bit level and whole words. Keep in mind that I'm not a programmer, so it maybe can be done better. rgs Roar -- PMDG 737 NGX LUA code for Opencockpits MCP to be used in FSUIPC -- File: NGXMCP_202 -- December 2011 -- Roar

Hi, I have made some lua files that interfaces the PMDG NGX's MCP and EFIS. This was done before the SDK came out. The part interfacing the PMDG NGX via Lvars, ipc.control and ipc.read/write commands are controlled by sioc scripts ( I am using Opencockpits hardware). I am now thinking of writing a C++ program, but I need to study the interface simconnect and C++ a little bit more and also other parts. Why is there any need for FSUIPC4 now that the SDK is available? I had to use FSUIPC before the SDK was available. What I understand is that you need the C++ (dll) to interface PMDG through simconnect and in my case also interface/translate to sioc "language". But, in order to do this, I need to study a little bit more. I don't have any problem using FSUIPC, but to me using SIOC, C++(dll), SImconnect and FSUIPC incl LUA seems to complicated. There must be an easier way of doing this or? rgs
