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.

Sorry to be so dense. I have the SDK now and the list of offsets in the programmer's guide. Do you mean that there should be 2 entries in the WideFS.cfg file for each light, AND 2 entries in the FSUIPC.INI file for each light, with one FSUIPC.INI having the offset byte setbits with parameters for each light and one having the offset bytes clrbits? So, for example, the FSUIPC.INI entries to turn on and off the beacon light would be: 100=P64,0,Cx050001DC,02 101=P64,1,Cx090001DC,02 and the corresponding WideFS entries would be: 00=B"Beacon lights\rON" 01=B"Beacon lights\rOFF"

Thanks! Are those offsets into FSUIPC and how do you know what they are?

Good idea, but I use FSUIPC4 with cxxxxxx numbers in the Buttons section of FSUIPC.INI. I don't know what the offsets you use are used with, but I sure am curious! thanks!

That works, but then the buttons on WideFS are of course ordinary buttons rather than toggles, so they don't turn from green to red so that you know whether it toggled or not without looking at the instrument panel. What I hoped for was a true visible toggle on the buttons screen and only have to click once. Seems that it should be possible. Thanks for the help!

I am setting up a fairly complete WideFS buttons screen. My problem is with toggles. I have things like beacon lights, strobes, no smoking, seat belts etc. set up as toggles, and they do interface correctly to FSX through FSUIPC. However, they don't seem to work as I would expect. For example, to toggle beacon lights from ON to OFF I have to press the corresponding button on the button screen two times, not once. Below is a FSUIPC log of changing the beacon lights from OFF to ON to OFF. On the WideFS buttons screen, I have to press the switch 4 times: once t turn on the FSX lights, again with no control sent to FSX but the WideFS button changing from red to green, a third time to turn off the lights and turn the button red, and a fourth time to turn the button green again. WideFS button definitions appear after the FSUIPC log. ********* FSUIPC4, Version 4.703 by Pete Dowson ********* User Name="Nelson Capes" User Addr="nrcapes@gmail.com" FSUIPC4 Key is provided WideFS7 Key is provided [Continuation log requested by user] Running inside FSX on Windows 7 (using SimConnect Acc/SP2 Oct07) Module base=61000000 Wind smoothing fix is fully installed 84803594 System time = 25/08/2011 15:39:42, Simulator time = 15:44:33 (20:44Z) 84803594 LogOptions changed, now 40000000 00000001 84808305 Button changed: bRef=0, Joy=64, Btn=13, Pressed 84808305 [buttons] 113=P64,13,C66239,0 84808305 FS Control Sent: Ctrl=66239, Param=0 84810333 Button changed: bRef=0, Joy=64, Btn=13, Released 84811441 Button changed: bRef=0, Joy=64, Btn=13, Pressed 84811441 [buttons] 113=P64,13,C66239,0 84811441 FS Control Sent: Ctrl=66239, Param=0 84813609 Button changed: bRef=0, Joy=64, Btn=13, Released 84823453 Sim stopped: average frame rate for last 20 secs = 37.6 fps 84829209 LogOptions changed, now 00000000 00000001 [buttonScreen] Size=13,5 Colour4=221,250,182 Colour5=235,250,160 Colour6=238,183,172 Colour8=180,44,2 Colour7=26,122,144 Colour9=231,155,17 ===========PAGE 1 SYSTEMS========== 0=7r"ENGINES" 1=T"Battery\rMaster" 2=T"Alternator\rMaster" 3=T"Avionics\rMaster" 4=T"Pitot\rHeat" 5=T"Fuel\rPump" 6=1Btlb"Engine\rAuto start" 7=1Btrb"Engine\rAuto\rShutdown" 8=T"Parking\rBrake" 9=1B"Magneto\rOFF" 10=1B"Magneto\rLeft" 11=1B"Magneto\rRight" 12=1B"Magneto\rBoth" 13=7r"Lighting" 14=T"Panel\rLights" 15=Tlbt"Beacon\rLights" 16=Tbt"Landing\rLight" 17=Tbt"Nav\rLights" 18=Trbt"Strobe\rLight" 19=T"No\rSmoking" 20=T"Seat\rBelts" " 21=T"Taxi\rLights" 22=T"Wing\rLights" 23=T"Recognition\rLights" 24=T"Logo\rLights" 25=T"Cabin\rLights" 26=7r"Gear\rFlaps\rTrim" 27=1b"Gear \rUp" 28=1b"Gear \rDown" 29=1b"Flaps\rextend" 30=1b"Flaps \rretract" 31=1b"Spoilers \rarm" 32=1b"Spoilers\rOn" 33=1b"Spoilers\rOff"" 34=1b"El.

OK, now I understand. Should have read the manual more carefully. thanks.

Pete: Thank you! I have the buttons screen up on my laptop, and I am running Flightsim Commander over the WideFS connection to FSX on my Windows 7 64-bit Dell Studio. I start the WideFS client on the laptop, then FSC and connect to FSX in FSC. FSC correctly sees the connection, however when I use the mouse on the laptop to press a button on the maximized WideFS client button screen, nothing happens in FSX. Laptop is Windows XP Service Pack 2. Wideserver log and FSX log are copied below. Is there anything I am obviously doing wrong? I can see that the WideFS server had trouble getting an IPX/SPX socket, but FSC nevertheless runs OK. I can do some network troubleshooting if that would help. Same results if I am not running FSC (I just used that to test the connection). ********* WideServer.DLL Log [version 7.703] ********* Blocksize guide = 4096 (double allowed) Date (dmy): 11/08/11, Time 15:25:56.846: Server name is DELLSTUDIO 15834 Initialising TCP/IP server 15834 Initialising IPX/SPX server 15834 IPX/SPX socket() failed [Error=10044] Socket type not supported 15834 Failed to start IPX/SPX Server 15834 Initialising UDP/IP server 16100 Broadcasting service every 1000 mSecs 33743 Incoming connection Accepted ok (skt=5140) TCP 33946 Connected to computer "LAPTOP" running WideClient version 6.860 (skt=5140) TCP 322610 Close signalled to clients 323734 Closing down now ...

Has anybody got a notepad or text version of the widefs button screen program in the appendix of the Widefs User Guide? It looks fantastic but the chance of a keying error in inputting such a large program is daunting. Looks like a great facility!

Pete: Excellent! Night and day as far as controllability, though I do have to put in a very large slope (i.e., not much change in the middle) for ailerons and elevator. I will keep testing. Thanks~

Actually, I haven't used profiles much at all (the INI file saying otherwise) because I fly mostly commercial airliners and don't find the need to set up separate controls. I only use the X52 joystick with CFS1 and with Falcon4 AF (which of doesn't interface to FSUIPC as far as I know). I distinguish different aircraft types using the Saitek SST software to set up buttons, outside FSUIPC and FS9, the reason being that the MFD on the joystick immediately shows me what profile is loaded and I can look at that profile in real time using the Saitek profile editor. I don't use it for calibration, however, and I don't think it can be used for that. That is the real value of FSUIPC to me. Anyway, thanks for your diligence in looking into the CFS1 problem.
