[Is there some sort of button timer I can use?]

I have another problem with what I'm attempting also... I'm not sure if you can get me a solution for a timer function, my fingers are crossed; but I'm trying to figure out this key offset thing. 

For example, I have:

[Keys]

109=121,11 - then I need to offset to activate vButton 11,11

110=122,11 vB11,12

Looking at the offset table (which there are no specific examples for and no clear instructions), I see a list of x0100zzz - x7C00zzzz.  My brain is scrambled so let me try to collect my thoughts here for you. 

1) I have a basic understanding that these are hexadecimal values (0-9, a=10, upto f=15 for 16 characters | each digit after the first is multiplied by values of 16 to get decimals :: x16 second digit,  x16 x16 third digit...)

2) I'm thinking that I just add what ever my input value is into where the zzzz is. 

3) I tried to reverse engineer someone's post that used the offsets to send to a different joystick configuration something like j62 b4... but I thought for virtual buttons you can only use j0-15 and b0-31... anyways,  his code was 0x00014000 but I don't see anything starting 0001 making his add on 4000 for the Button; perhaps it's multiplied or added...

4) Then I'm assuming I add this to my code 109=121,11,0x########?

I then have:

[Buttons]

100=CP(F+11,10)(F+11,11)11,12,C#####

[Is there some sort of button timer I can use?]

I do have FSUIPC Lua Library.pdf in my FSUIPC documents folder, and Example LUA Plugins... so I'm assuming it's "Lua" compatible. 

[Is there some sort of button timer I can use?]

Yes, it is intact 3.999z9b (I believe, as far as I can tell)

 

I'm fairly certain that it accepts Lua, however I'm not a programmer so that's over my head.  I did thoroughly read through the advanced user guide... that's how I'm on this path now. 

 

To answer your inquiry, I want "button 1" to be at a default state the majority of the time, it's essentially a 'master'; other flags then change the functions of "buttons 2-5" according to my selection - they also default with vB1, but I have inputs that select their "mode" in addition to. 

 

Here's a brief example:

 

》vB1 toggles modes 1&2 for vB2-5 = Flag vB120,11 | sets vB120,10 F+

》1,5 set flags 120,8 + & 120,9 - & 120,10 -

》1,6 set flags 120,8 - & 120,9 -& 120,10 -

》1,7 :: +,+,-

》1,8 :: -,+,-

》vB2-5 If F+/- 120,8 or 120,9 and F-120,10 Then: accordingly

》vB1 If timer + (True), If F+/- 120,8 or 120,9 Then: accordingly

 

Essentially when I activate vB1 I want it to toggle 120,11 and set 120,10 true. 

However on occasion if buttons 1,5-8 are used they change the 120,10 bit for vB2-5 to change their modes, I can select my settings (say dial in a heading or Altimeter & VS and click vB1 to activate Autopilot; however I don't always need to activate AP so after a timeout vB1 should go to its normal state. 

 

So essentially I have 5 groups/ groupings, but only 4 mode selections; instead of cycling through it, I want to set a default.

 

Hopefully that clears it up. 

 

Thank you for your input. 

[Is there some sort of button timer I can use?]

Hello, 

 

I finally just recently delved into the world of FSUIPC customizing (literally yesterday).  I know!  But hay, better late than never.  I get that my system is old, outdated, and unsupported; I'm just looking for a few helpful hints if I may. 

 

Firstly, what I'm essentially attempting to accomplish is this...

I want to control 5 vButtons with vButton flags, so for each condition they react accordingly (well 4 of the 5 do).  The 5th button was initially intended to be a static use; however I'm now thinking it would be great if "buttons" '2-5' would reset a timer, under certain flag conditions that is.  Whilst this timer is running "button 1" would then activate a feature according to conditions of flags.  I'm confident I can handle the flag condition(s); I need a hand figuring out the timer.  The timer only really needs to be 3-5,000ms I figure, once elapsed it will reset some flags and restore conditions to "default".

 

I hope that is clear, I appreciate any assistance.

 

My system is an old Windows XP running FS2004, I think it's probably FSUIPC3.XXXX but I'm not on my system at the moment, I can report back if needed.

 

Thank you for your time.

[What does Widefs do?]

Well ruscool says I need a registered version of FSUIPC, I would like to run their GPS panel on another computer so I suppose I'll need the Widefs.

 

(Sorry about the confusion, I was under the impression that fsuipc and widefs had the same registration and license usage; I have downloaded the widefs application already but I guess if I go to install it won't work without registration, unlike fsuipc.)

I'll buy both then just in case... I'll probably need it 6 months from now lol.

[What does Widefs do?]

Okay so if I wanted to use Reality XP GPS software with the ruscool hardware panel and put this on another computer then I would use Widefs or Wideview?

The demo version (unregistered) is the free version I was referring to, like my fsuipc is unregistered but it works for me right now, but that will change with the above.

For clarification could you provide a practical reason why you need to use widefs?

Thank you.

[What does Widefs do?]

Hello,

I tried searching for this information but couldn't get my query resolved.  I understand it connects networked computers for flight simulation, but beyond that I'm looking for information.

1) I suppose at this moment I'm interested in using multiple computers to share the burden for displaying gauges (additional monitors, USB interfacing, and hardware -gps- panels etc.) I'm not looking for window views or high resolution, does Widefs accomplish this?

2) In order to accomplish this is a registered version required (what is the difference between free/licenced version - limited computers - limited functionality - limited customizing)?

3) Does Widefs allow "out the window" views or is that WideViewWide view (what's the difference, I know they are 'competitors')?

4 a) Do you need fs installed on all systems for ALL circumstances (ie just to run a USB yoke or something simple)?

4 b) How do you run multiple copies of fs if you only have one software disk?

 

Thank you, currently running fs9.1 win XP, will be buying an FSUIPC licence (been using the freeware for years).

[Getting Saitek Pro Flight Panel to work]

Hello I have recently purchased the Saitek Pro Flight Switch Panel and found you have a driver for it to work in FS2004. I downloaded your FSUIP.dll and installed it but cannot figure out how to get my switch panel to work? Please help me with this. Thank you!
