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

So the challenge is that the 8192 output is wherever I set the "detent" min/max. I'm using a Virtual Fly TQ6+, for which the detent (physical notch) I calibrated around raw input of -11000 .. -9500. This is the range where I would like an "out" of 256 (or whatever) instead of 8192. Currently FSUIPC calibration is already doing 2 lerps; one for below the detent and one for above the detent, with 8192 as the midpoint of the output (in my case for the TQ6+ this looks like): -16250 .. -11000 -> 0 .. 8192 (~5000 range -> ~8000 range) -9500 .. 16250 -> 8192 .. 16383 (~26000 range -> ~8000 range) What I'm trying to do is to get this instead: -16250 .. -11000 -> 0 .. 256 (~5000 range -> ~250 range) -9500 .. 16250 -> 256 .. 16383 (~26000 -> ~15750 range) This what I meant by making the "midpoint" settable for the output (wherever you lerp with 8192, instead it would be some setting). I can do this in Lua, I was just hoping it would be easy to add some extension to the calibration INI settings to have this 8192 be custom. I can also probably make this work with ranges for the Kodiak. Anyway, no worries, the discussion is helpful.

Thanks, I'll try with the Lua hard-coding the calibration values (these are same regardless of profile since it's the same joystick). My, perhaps simple, thought was that the only thing that changes in this calculation is the output midpoint (since you're already calibrating the 2 ranges differently since the detent is not guaranteed to be at the middle of the raw input range): Ri = Raw input Rmin = Raw minimum (as set) Rmax = Raw maximum (as set) Rmindet = Raw min detent (as set) Rmaxdet = Raw max detent (as set) Omin = Min output (e.g. documented as 0) Omid = Midpoint (e.g. currently constant as 8192, but since this is up to aircraft developers whims, could be 256 - as set - in my example, the Kodiak) Omax = Max output (e.g. documented as 16383) So something like: if Ri < Rmindet: return lerp Rmin:Rmindet -> Omin-Omid else if Ri > Rmaxdet: return lerp Rmaxdet:Rmax -> Omid-Omax else return Omid But maybe I'm missing some other complexity somewhere. I definitely wasn't suggesting a UI change. I think a profile specific Lua will be fine. Thanks again for talking through it.

The calibration values are useful to know where the raw axis top/bottom/detents are. Without access to these programmatically, I have to hard-code them in a Lua (and thus they will be in 2 places, the INI - which can change when I recalibrate occasionally, and some script - which I have to remember to update). For my use case, the only thing I need is a different lerp below/above the detent, but it would be useful to have access to the existing calibration values, even when I'm not using the calibration itself. The midpoint is really the only thing that changes in this setup, and this seems to be hardcoded for these axes currently. Can a monitoring Lua be profile specific?

I ran into this just yesterday. If you've set profile specific buttons, they "hide" you're default button configuration, so they are auto-loaded and work as expected. It looks like that checkbox is simply to decide which assignment you're editing (note that it's different than the axes checkbox is becomes immutable).

Is it possible to adjust the output of the calibrated value in Lua before it's sent to the sim? This would seem the simplest since I know what the nominal midpoint is. Or, is it possible to get access to the calibration points in the Lua? These are useful to know where the detent area is. Or, better yet 🙂, would it be possible to add an advanced setting in the calibration area where the midpoint could be set/overridden?

I'm using FSUIPC Joystick Calibration with a reverse zone on the mixture (e.g. detent). This works well for some turbine aircraft, however the Kodiak is a little bit different. The cutoff is 0 and low idle seems to be some small positive value, so the normal midpoint output of 8192 at the detent of my mixture is not low idle in the aircraft (but much higher). Is there an easy way to set what the "out" midpoint should be when the axis is in the "detent" zone of the calibration, as opposed to assuming an even split?
