I'm trying to set up the battery toggle switch in PMSYSTEMS using my CPFlight interface. The offset is 5628.0 bit 0 What is the size of this byte? 1,2,4,8 etc? Thanks, Rob

Thanks Pete, i'll give that a shot. I do agree that something is happening in the network. Just not sure why it starts after takeoff? Rob

Hello, While using PM software, LNAV and VNAV cease to function after initial turn-on. Jonathan, after looking at my logs, thinks it's a widefs/network problem. I have the logs and ini file if you need to see them. It looks like wideserver is having trouble with data transfer to the CDU computer(flightsim4) I have 4 computers networked together thru a 100mb switch. Normal winXP functions ok, by that i mean, i can access the files from flightsim4 computer just fine. Seems to only have trouble while running fs9? I'm at a loss here since it worked fine for over 500hrs of operation. For the life of me i can't remember if i changed something or what. Where do i send the files pete so that you may view them? Thanks, Rob

That did it Pete! Embarassed look on face! :)) Sometimes I miss the simple stuff. Thanks, Rob

Hi Pete, Here is a copy of my cfg file. Still can't seem to get it to work. The wav file is in the default fs9 sound folder. [Devices] 1=Primary Sound Driver 2= 3=Modem #1 Line Playback (emulated) 4=Yamaha DS1x Native Audio [settings] 1=1,100,FL 2=4,100 [sounds] 1=PMDG_Call 2=Outermk [Triggers] 1=41:1,1,1 Thanks for your help as I know this is an unsupported program. :) Rob

I'm beginning to use/program esound into my sim. My first task is the Attend call button. In FSUIPC it sees this as joy1, button 9 or in the cfg file 11=P1,9. Now my question is what number do I put in the [Triggers] section for the button number? This is NOT epic, just the normal windows game device being used. Thanks, Rob

No, actually found it in the wee hours of the morning by process of elimination and chance. Rob

Hi Pete, I found it! :) It was the cfg file for the CPFlight mcp I have. Somehow it got messed up and was sending erroneous commands via fsuipc. Thank goodness! Now all is well. Thanks, Rob

Well i've narrowed it down to something in fsuipc!?? If i remove the dll from the modules folder and run fs9 , the rudder functions perfect?? There is no reference in the fsuipc.ini file to the rudder that I can find. Weird ehh? Rob

I have FS9, my rudder is calibrated thru both windows and FSUIPC. I have control spike checked in rudder, elv. and aileron. Here is what happens, I get full left deflection of my rudder whenever I'm not moving the pedals. On gnd or in the air. If I pop open the cal tab in fsuipc, it shows 0 as the input and output but the rudder is in the full left position. I triple checked all my inputs to make sure I didn't have a double assignment. That chk'd good. Any ideas or help? Thanks, ROb

Thanks Pete, That took care of it. :oops:

Thanks Frank, i'll give that a shot. Rob

Your right, it should work, but some reason it doesn't? I've tried 3 different switches. I'm at a loss. MAybe the jet start functions different??

I'm trying to set-up 2 joystick buttons, one for jet eng 1 start and 1 for jet eng2 start. I found "Toggle starter 1" and 2 in the fsuipc fs controls list. I assigned the buttons and they work for a split second then the starter shuts off. Tried checking the "control to repeat while being held" box and still doesn't work if I hold the button down. Here is the catch, if press the button repeatedly it will spin up the engine. Tried a toggle switch also wired into the joystick button. Still did not work. Am I missing something or is there a better or different way to accomplish this task. Thanks in advance, Rob

Through some trades and such the cockpit ended up costing me knothing! Just the fee to unload it.

Finally took the time to start a webpage on me and my hobbies. Check it out, knothing fancy but some good pics and info. http://www.geocities.com/raflyer/index.html Rob

Thanks Pete!

Hello, Would it be possible to add a seperate key press input for each Autobrake selection on the 737? It would make it much easier to wire up my switch that way instead of thru FSBUS Thanks either way, Rob Archer

Pete, I just deleted it all, reinstalled, reset .ini to the same parameters it had and now it works? :) Who knows, at least it's working again. thanks, Rob

I just added a 7th computer to my cockpit, copied the wideclient folder from a working computer over to the new one. When I double click the wideclient.exe i get the error message "TCP/IP needs ServerName or IP address" I have checked it 5 times in the .INI file and all is correct. I tried pinging the server computer(FS9) from the new one and it reads fine. I can access it thru network neighborhood ok too. I'm using winxp on all but the new one which is win98. ALready set it up using the winxp network setup tool. Any ideas? FSUIPC 3.04 and widefs 6.02 Thanks, ROb

I now have the real 737 flap lever working again. Thanks for the fix Pete. I noticed Tailhook_toggle is missing, is that an FS9 deal? Thanks again, Rob

I just verified it is FSUIPC and not pmdg. I set control in the flap_axis and left fsuipc out of the loop and all worked ok except for not being calibrated. That is where I need fsuipc to help compensate for my flap lever. Hopefully that could be addressed in the next update? :) Thanks, Rob

No sir, no change, a solid 5-7 hours of flying flawlessly with several takeoff and landings with working flaps. Only thing changed that I know of was the install of the pmdg 737. I really wish there was more I could give you to help out. There may not even be a problem except for some wierd issue with my computer and current set-up. I will triple check everything again. Thanks, Rob

Pete, I disabled the flaps set in fsuipc, I reassigned to the flaps_axis in FS9. Now the flaps work ok except it skips 30. When I had it calibrated thru fsuipc it used to work in all positions. It looks like something has went crazy with-in fsuipc? Let me know if you need anything else. Thanks, Rob
