Hi Pete, Thanks for the prompt reply. Your advice is highly appreciated, thanks for pointing me to the right direction. Wish you a nice weekend Cheers Thomas

Dear all, Im puzzled by this conflict that keeps happening nonstop with FSX & PMDG 777. These keeps popping up in the log continuously but so far I have not been able to determine which causes this. These happen even without me pressing any joystick button etc. I have disabled most of the keys from FSX controls, I still have few assigned but none regarding rotor brake or nav2 radio. Would anyone be so kind and try to point me at least to the right direction, where to look. I have registered version of FSUIPC. Thanks! Cheers Thomas

Many thanks Pete! I feel like I have climbed over a mountain with this... (if it actually works... ) ;-) I never thought I would need to learn programming, I have tried to avoid it as much as I can... hahahahaaa. Who ever reads this post and is thinking "how the hell will I learn any of this lua scripting thing"?? I can say that you really can, if you search and search and search and read and read and read... If I can learn this (even it is only these bloody few leds) I bet you can too! Dont give up!!! Cheers Thomas

Excellent, thanks Pete! I think i got it! :rolleyes: As you suggested I could do it all in one, so something like this: (1st switch for landing lights, 2nd switch for logo lts and 3rd for taxi light) function Lights(offset, value) if logic.And(val, 4) ~= 0 then gfd.SetLight(GFT8, 0, 0) else gfd.ClearLight(GFT8, 0, 0) end if logic.And(val, 256) ~= 0 then gfd.SetLight(GFT8, 0, 1) else gfd.ClearLight(GFT8, 0, 1) end if logic.And(val, 8) ~= 0 then gfd.SetLight(GFT8, 0, 2) else gfd.ClearLight(GFT8, 0, 2) end end event.offset("0D0C", "UW", "Lights") Cheers Thomas

Hi Pete, Awesome fast reply! Thanks a lot! To get things straigh, should my script look like this: function Taxi(offset, value) if logic.And(val,8) ~= 0 then gfd.SetLight(GFT8, 0, 2) else gfd.ClearLight(GFT8, 0, 2) end end event.offset("0D0C", "SW", "Taxi") btw. I thought 0D0C would be SW as the FSInterrogator says it is S16? (im probably completely wrong...) :mrgreen: I know im thick, but im getting there :oops: Cheers Thomas

Hi Pete, I´ve started writing some basic scripts using lua plugins and I was pleased to see that the test I did, actually worked. However, now I would like to move on to make the leds work correctly for separate lights under one offset address. This is the case: my GF-T8 are programmed for the external lights, they work fine. For example, the third switch is assigned to taxi light. Now I would like to make the 3rd led to light up when the switch is turned to on and clear the light when its turned to off. However, I have not able to found a solution how to write the script correctly. This is what I have now and I know it does not work because there are missing the info regarding the bits for the taxi light: function Taxi(offset, value) if value == 1 then gfd.SetLight(GFT8, 0, 2) else gfd.ClearLight(GFT8, 0, 2) end end event.offset("0D0C", "SW", "Taxi") should this be something like ("x0D0C", "8", "SW", "Taxi") where the "8" would be the Bit 3 value? I would like to also say that I have spent hours and hours reading through all these manuals, but it is HUGE amount of information that I feel somewhat overwhelming and Im still learning. If you could point me out to the right direction, im sure I can take it from there. I can manage to make a led go on and off accordingly, the problem is the 0D0C address which has multiple functions inside and im unsure about how to use the bits... Thanks in advance Cheers Thomas

Hi Pete, Again, many thanks! Thomas

Hi Pete, Thanks for pointing me to the right direction, at least I can start look into this.... Do you have any idea what would be the situation with the PMDG 777/747/MD-11? Would I be able to make the GF-T8 leds work accordingly using the 0D0C offset´s? Or have I totally misunderstood the logic? (could be as well :mrgreen: ) I need to do some more reading and then start experimenting. I quess I can always ask your support in this forum.. Many thanks so far and wish you a nice weekend Cheers Thomas

Hi Pete, The keys are programmed via PMDG FMC option within the sim, no controls are assigned in fsx itself, as Im only using FSUIPC for all assignments. If I recall correctly, I tried to somepoint use the lights via normal fs controls, without any succes, but those were the PMDG747 & MD11, so its some time ago.... Correct, you did not mention that I would need a lua plug-in, I was just asking additional question as Im thinking taking this a bit further. What Im trying to achieve with lua at this point, is that if I have lets say the taxi light on, the led on the GF-T8 would be on (green) as well. Im sure I dont have the knowledge at the moment to even understand what kind of stuff im able achieve with different lua's but this would be a start, as Im building my home cockpit panel after a panel... Cheerio Thomas

Hi Pete, Aha, I see. I did not realize that. This might be the answer to the problem. Shall check it, I did not realize GFDev logic that it then sends the state of all switches. Yes, you are correct, Im using GF-T8 switches to control PMDG777 external lights, which some are toggle switches and some are push buttons in the overhead, but so far it has worked well, other than the startup problem i posted above - which might now be solved - thanks to you Pete. I have tried multiple searches in relation to the light settings to get most out of it, but have been unable to find an "easy" and straight forward solution. Yes, I know there is Goflight PMDG Interface available, but I have not tried it yet as I always thought that I should be programming everything via FSUIPC in order to avoid any conflicts. Btw, regarding the lua, have I understood correctly, if I write a lua script for the T7 external lights and save it in the module folder (for example PMDG777lights.lua), does the system run it automatically or do i need to assign some keypress or button to run the script? Might be a completely stupid question, but I have read so many documents and forum posts that I find the amount of information overwhelming.... Most likely I would need help with the script, but I try to start at least myself in order to learn something... :) Thanks again Pete for your assistance Cheers Thomas

Good Morning Pete, That is exactly what happens, when I operated my taxi light switch. For example, I have assigned that taxi light switch to button press ctrl+x and programmed it via FSUIPC for the GF-T8. After initial loading of the aircraft, when I turn any of the light switches programmed in my GF-T8, the above is just what happens. After that the switch works correctly. Im sorry that the information was not enough, but I did as you asked me to do, started the event & button log, operated the switch one time and sent you the information. Obviously something is very wrong if it send all that button presses even only one switch is operated. You have helped me earlier, that was in another post where I had the problems understanding the logic programming the buttons. See link below: http://forum.simflight.com/topic/76235-fsuipc-4928-strange-behaviour-most-likely-a-conflict/ I can try to do this logging thing again, however, might take a day or two. In the meantime, I would appreciate any tips. Thanks Pete Cheers Thomas

Hi Pete, Many thanks for your fast reply, it is highly appreciated. Yes, you are right, I meant that all the light switches goes on, instead of all switches in the VC... Sorry, my mistake.

(not quitting fsx) and fly again, the switches works perfectly from the beginning. Im sure im doing something wrong, just dont know what. I have started to search info about the lua programming but I do not feel confident yet to start fiddling with it. I hope im not missing something obvious as I do not want to overload you in anyway with nonsense problems. Thanks in advance Cheers Thomas

Hi All, I have encountered another problem with GF-T8 module assigned for external lights for PMDG aircraft. The scenario is like this: I have assigned external lights via FSUIPC, using key press commands. I have followed the instructions to assign the lights correctly (Pete has also been a big help already) and the actual light switched works correctly, no problems. However, when I load for example the T7 at any location and switch lets say nav light on from my GF-T8, the light goes on, but also all the rest of the switches in the Virtual Cockpit changes as well, in otherwords, the switches toggles to on position. The only solution I have found is that I load the AC, switch any T8 switch and then manually click the switches in the VC back in the original position. Im using FSX, Windows 7, with the latest FSUIPC version installed. I recently deleted the FSUIPC ini file and started everything from scracth, but this problem has followed me already a year or two... I do not have anything set up via Goflight own setup wizard, as this was instructed not to be used together with FSUIPC if the assignments are done via FSUIPC. Any solutions or suggestions where to look? Should I start to look into lua programming to get things work properly or....? At least I thought I will start learning LUA to get the leds working correctly with the GF panels.. Thanks in advance Cheers Thomas

Hi Pete, Thanks for straighting this up, I got mixed how the system works. I did the same as for the 777 and the NGX which works fine, so thats why I wonder why it did not work with 747 and the MD-11. I will change the setup for the 777 and the NGX as well. This is what happens with a novice that does not understand the system correctly, thanks to you, I got this sorted Cheers Thomas

Hi Pete, Still having the same problem, what ever I assign, it freezes the keyboard and ezca is not working anymore. Somehow I think it will trigger the ctrl to be held...

Hi Pete, "key press not to be held" and "key press to repeat while held" check boxes are not checked.. I just have set the key assignment (ctrl+c for example) into the upper "... press this button" and to the lower ".... release this button". Cheers Thomas

Hi Pete, Thanks for the fast and detailed reply. Thats enough information for me at the moment to work with (when I have the chance) and I will report back. Thank god of this forum.... :) Cheers Thomas

Hello Pete & Fellow simmers Last night I updated my FSUIPC to the latest one. Before this, I had setup my goflight modules for PMDG 777 & 737NGX and they still work brilliantly. Now, after the update, I wanted to assing the goflight modules (T8 & RP48) for PMDG 747 and for the MD-11. What I did, was that I assigned ctrl+a key command to each light switch via the PMDG Keyboard command menu. These are the same key commands that I use with the 777&NGX. Then under FSUIPC button&switches tab, I tick the profile specific and created a new template for the MD-11 and for the 747. Then I assigned the keys the same way I did for the 777&NGX. For example ctrl+c toggles the beacon light switch. Now it looks like it works like charm, the switch moves as it should, on and off. Now whats the problem? The problem is, that after I have moved any of the assigned switches either with the 747 or the MD-11, basically my keyboard does not work anymore. Everything else works more or less as should. If I try to type something, for example a website address to the browser, any of the keypress makes the PC do something else. For example I tried to type google to the the browser and it ended up adding the blank site to my favorites:) Im completely puzzled, I know it has to be some conflict but do not now what. For referecene, the old 777 and NGX assignments works still fine and does not mess up my keyboard. The problem dissipated when I cleared the assignments for the 747 and the MD-11. So, now im back in the beginning... I have not assigned anything via the goflight own mapping software, so Im using only the FSUIPC assignments. I have taken out almost all keyboard settings from the FSX as well, so these should not mess with the system. Im using FSX, Win7 64bit, I have latest nvidia drivers (updated last night as well). Any idea where to start to look the problem? Many thanks! Cheers Thomas S.

Hi Pete, Managed to do a quick test and looks like i had the goflight assignments in afterall. Removed those and now it seems to work, will test it further with my next flight. If I still encounter problems, I will check back here. Many thanks! Thomas

Thanks guys for the quick replies! I scanned the manual once more and actually found out the one Pete was referring to. I need to check whether I still have the goflight own mapping software installed - if so, I need to clear the commands. Will check it and report back, might be after few days though as Im not able to fly for awhile. Thanks! Cheers Thomas

Dear All, I hope I have not missed any thread related to this, but in my opinion, I could not find answer to my problem Im having. I have managed to assign key press command for my goflight T8 toggle swithc panel. I have assigned the lights. Now, for example, if I want to toggle my logo light, it goes on but then after few seconds it comes off. However, if I do it again, it stays on. I have assigned the key when pressing, ticked the box "key press not to be held" and also assigned the same key to release it. Im a bit puzzled. So the first time I do it, it goes on and off, then if i use the toggle switch again, it will stay lit. However, like last night, when i did a flight, after 1 hour cruising when I started to decent and put my landing lights on via the toggle switch, it did the same thing. First on then off. Im probably doing something wrong here, just dont know what. It does the same for NGX. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance Cheers Thomas Schmiedeke
