EDITED: It works! So I have the following in myevents.txt: COWS_DA42_Aileron#$Param -163.84 / -100 max 100 min (>L:INPUT_AILERON, Percent) COWS_DA42_Elevator#$Param -163.84 / -100 max 100 min (>L:INPUT_ELEVATOR, Percent) COWS_DA42_Rudder#$Param -163.84 / -100 max 100 min (>L:INPUT_RUDDER, Percent) I then assigned controls as follows: This now works.

Can I use the values at offset 0x3328 etc.? Are these the calibrated values that FSUIPC would be sending for elevator etc. control?

Is there any way to apply the calibration (which is helpful for idle detent and the slopes I'm used to)?

Thanks, I'll try this. This will not use the calibration, correct?

So some interesting observations: 1. Before making any changes, I tried to use an Xbox controller on default settings/mappings in MSFS. This works in the aircraft (stick moves). 2. If I turn on logging (Events, Input Events, Axes Control) it shows AXIS_AILERON_SET when moving the controller. 3. If I change FSUIPC set up to "Send to FS as normal axis" as AXIS_AILERON_SET for my Yoko+, it doesn't work and the Xbox controller also stops working. 4. As soon as I go back to "Send direct to FSUIPC", the Xbox controller starts working again. 5. The rudders seem to work with FSUIPC, but start "resetting 0 position" above a certain speed, and Xbox controller rudders do not work.

I'm using FSUIPC exclusively for control setup with "Send direct to FSUIPC Calibration". This has been working great for all planes (and I have custom profiles for the few that are "special"), except I can't seem to get it to work on the COWS DA42. Rudder control partially works. It appears to move in the cockpit view, but if there's no constant input change they "recenter". Elevator and aileron controls don't work at all, and the stick in the cockpit doesn't move. Throttles work fine. Ultimately I can't rotate to take off.

That seems to have resolved it, thanks.

I have an ipcReady.lua in the FSUIPC folder which triggers an event on aircraft changes (to change some StreamDecks around). However, the ipcReady lua doesn't seem to be loaded with the latest version of the sim. Attached is a log file. Am I missing something? It worked on the previous version of the sim. FSUIPC7.zip

Ack, thanks.

Yep, tested also, it works fine. Thanks for the suggestion.

Tested this. It works correctly now. Thanks for the fix.

Shouldn't this also just work by sending to FSUIPC for calibration then (without exclude mixture set)?

I see what you're doing ... yes this works well. I set it up with a range and that worked also, but this is better, thanks. It's a little confusing, since I'm not sending it to calibration, but calibration is still being applied, right? The minimum calibration seems to be working fine.

Thanks... this would be great if it could act more "atomic". Please let me know if you need to me test. I see, since this doesn't update the offset area, it would have to come from the sim, which shouldn't happen while button processing is happening? I'll take a look at this functionality (haven't used it in the past). So I have to have both the offset mechanism to read the state and use it in the conditional, and the macro to execute the change,

I hate to come with more support requests, but here it goes... 🙂 I'm trying to use an LVar to toggle a switch in the Kodiak (XMLVAR_AUX_Bus_ON to either 0 or 1). I'm moving this into an offset, and then using conditionals to set them based on their current state.

Here's a previous post where I ran into this, but that was resolved through some other means (e.g. an update to variable offsets). Any thoughts? There are some other LVars that are multi-state that I'd like to do this for as well, while keeping the sim state together with the button action (which is why button flags don't work). Thanks, John
