I see. Do you know offhand if there is a way to trace the action of the guage within FSX? If not, no problem. It's not worth further effort. thanks again!

I posted the logs to respond to your question "Do you have errors listed in the WideServer or WideClient log files?" I am not an expert on WideFS or WideServer, as you can imagine. Is that not what you wanted me to do? As I stated earlier, the G1000_MFD_PROCEDURE button does not bring up the screen to select a procedure in FSX. Once that screen is brought up by mouse click, the G1000_MFD_GROUP_KNOB_INCR and G1000_MFD_ENTER buttons work by button press on WideFS. Thus, despite the fact that the logs show 3108351 Button changed: bRef=0, Joy=67, Btn=19, Pressed 3108351 [buttons] 242=P67,19,C66781,0 3108351 FS Control Sent: Ctrl=66781, Param=0 3108351 *** EVENT: Cntrl= 66781 (0x000104dd), Param= 0 (0x00000000) G1000_MFD_PROCEDURE_BUTTON 3108554 Button changed: bRef=0, Joy=67, Btn=19, Released this does not execute the correct control in FSX, apparently.

Here are the wideserver and wideclient logs, also FSUIPC log of button presses: ********* WideServer.DLL Log [version 7.703] ********* Blocksize guide = 4096 (double allowed) Date (dmy): 08/12/11, Time 20:38:47.379: Server name is DELLSTUDIO 15943 Initialising TCP/IP server 15943 Initialising IPX/SPX server 15943 IPX/SPX socket() failed [Error=10044] Socket type not supported 15943 Failed to start IPX/SPX Server 15943 Initialising UDP/IP server 16146 Broadcasting service every 1000 mSecs 17815 Incoming connection Accepted ok (skt=9168) TCP 17862 Connected to computer "LAPTOP" running WideClient version 6.860 (skt=9168) TCP 2277412 Error 10054: client socket disconnected at Client: removing (skt=9168) TCP 2311389 Incoming connection Accepted ok (skt=9700) TCP 2311436 Connected to computer "LAPTOP" running WideClient version 6.860 (skt=9700) TCP ********* WideClient Log [version 6.86] Class=FS98MAIN ********* Date (dmy): 06/12/11, Time 17:17:26.750: Client name is LAPTOP 313 LUA: "C:\wideclient\Initial.LUA": not found 344 Attempting to connect now 1109 Server = DELLSTUDIO 2219 Trying TCP/IP host "DELLSTUDIO" port 8002 ... 2219 ...

That's correct, although not perfectly. For example, if I use the mouse to select G1000_MFD_PROC button, I can use WideFS to change the approach, but FSX does not respond to the G1000_MFD_PROC button implemented with WideFS. The response to other buttons is also jumpy, which again I attribute to some performance problem. It is much smoother using the mouse than using WideFS.

I am simply reporting that the G1000 MFD appears to work with hardware controls, not just with the mouse buttons. I thought this would be interesting to you. I think that the sim is not servicing interrupts from the hardware fast enough when it is running the G1000 panels, but I am no expert on the sim so I could be wrong. In any case, it does work through FSUIPC and WideFS. I also noticed that the Task Manager was showing CPU utilizations of 100% across all 5 of my processors. I rebooted and restarted FSX and now the utilization is about 78% with the sim running the C172 G1000, and the G1000 MFD responds to buttons sent to it by WideFS.

Well, for what it's worth, I think it may be a performance problem. If I go into Settings and set the target frame rate to 24 (it was 40), I can control the guage from both a hardware controller (USB) and via WideFS. But it doesn't work perfectly. I will play around with it some more.

The mouse buttons on the G1000 MFD work. However, running a log with Buttons and Events turned on doesn't produce any log entries. Should I be logging something else? thanks!

Pete: I am trying to interface FSUIPC4 to the FSX C172 G1000 model for the first time, using Widefs with buttons set up. Pressing the G1000_MFD_FLIGHTPLAN_BUTTON then the G1000_MFD_PROC_BUTTON. The following is the log. But nothing happens on the G1000. What am I doing wrong?

I couldn't see the Saitek panel in FSUIPC but I think I found the problem: I was running both the Saitek driver and SPAD at the same time, and SPAD was set up incorrectly. I'll try it for a while before doing anything more. Thanks for the offer of help.

Yes, I have SPAD but it has its own problems in interfacing to the Saitek gear and is not supported. But I suppose I could get a FSUIPC log of events that occur when buttons on the Saitek gear are pressed with SPAD in control. I think I know enough about FSUIPC now to find out what is going on. Does this sound workable? thanks!

Is there a way to get rid of the Saitek multipanel driver and take control of the multipanel in FSUIPC? It is not listed as a joystick in FSUIPC.INI. It unpredictably turns off such things as speed hold when I move a rotary.

You are correct (sigh!) The lines for turning off the switches are at the end of the [buttons] section. I expected them to be right next to the lines for turning on the switches. I sure could have saved hours of work if I had used the FSUIPC assignments screen instead of editing INI. Well, live and learn!

I understand now. But why is only a "P" entry needed for each light? How does this work without a "U" entry to release the toggle? Below are the lines from INI. The lights all work. These were put in with the FSUIPC assignments screen. If I had entered them by editing INI, I would have put in a "P" and a "U' entry for each light. So I am still confused. 112=P64,12,Cx05000D0C,x20 ;panel lights 113=P64,13,Cx05000D0C,x02 ;beacon lights 114=P64,14,Cx05000D0C,x04 ;landing light 115=P64,15,Cx05000D0C,x00 ;nav lights 116=P64,16,Cx05000D0C,x10 ;strobe lights

OK, I go into FSUIPC from FSX with WideClient up, select Buttons and Switches, Reload all buttons, press the WideClient toggle button, assign Offset Bytes Setbits to 0D0C with parameter 2. That does set the beacon switch on in FSX. But how to I assign the same Wideclient toggle button to turn the beacon switch off? Pressing the WideClient button again just retains the first assigment. Again, sorry if this is in the manual somewhere.

Thanks, Pete! I wasn't aware that one could use FSUIPC's assignments screen for programming logical buttons - I thought you had to physically press a button to assign it to something. Anyway, I already have about 48 logical buttons assigned in FSUIPC.INI that correlate with WideClient.
