I am truly sorry that I have been so miss understood. My lack of answering your questions was because I haven't had time yet (due family and work) to sit and do as I said I would do, that is...." I admit I have to now go away and think on that and read your notes again. All I have done is a rushed immediate answer to the previous nights response. I wanted to go away reflect and re read, so I could try and give some quality to my response. I do appreciate the time you have given me. At no stage did I ask nor expect the answer to be given to me. I am doing this because I want to learn. If I wanted the easy way out I would have bought a plug and play unit. Unfortunately written dialogue of this nature can be fought with misinterpretation. In this case dialogue #6 was taken by me to cynical and condescending. I took the questions to be in fact, statements of a sarcastic nature. In keeping with the good intent and nature of this forum I decided not to respond with what I thought. Instead I decided to politely re ask the question, not asking for an answer but asking..."is there a recommended way that this would be best accomplished?" However Pete relax, before your blood pressure rises too much. After reading your reply #10, I had a different interpretation on your requests for answers. I saw someone who was genuine and wanted to have things correct. I somehow read more passion in your quest. You are very precise in what you write and say. There is little or no padding.This makes readers like myself having to be very careful that we read word for word what you say. Unfortunately, most people like myself, aren't that clever and probably need a few more examples. So no, I am not ignoring you nor are you wasting your time. I just needed more time. After 21383 posts, your sincerity certainly cant be questioned. I, as I am sure all forum members do, appreciate your work, Sincerely, David

Rotary Encoder - Desktop Aviator 2095A - I cant tell you the type of encoder, other than it is the one sold by them. If it is any hint, when connected and using FSUIP to connect to the ini file for the key assignments, for each 'click' I get 1 degree of course change.

Maybe I should rephrase the question: I am very new to FSUIPC - until very recently did not know it even existed - so my learning curve is steep. I have 3 buttons push button on rotary encoder showing as button 1,5 left turn on rotary encoder showing as button 1,0 right turn on the rotary encoder showing as button 1,1 Keys are assigned by its own .ini file CRS dec CTR+F8 to Button 1,0 CRS inc CTR+F3 to Button 1,1 I would like to have two conditions. One where the CRS will increase/decrease slow Secondly where the CRS will increase/decrease at a fast rate It would be nice if the momentary push button would toggle between those two conditions. Is there a recommended way that this would be best accomplished? Thanks, David

Thanks Pete, Clarifying what I was trying to achieve here: 0=P1,0,K119,10 1=P1,0,K119,10 3=U1,0,K119,10 4=P1,1,K114,10 5=P1,1,K114,10 6=U1,1,K114,10 I wanted an accelerated rate on left turn of the rotary knob, hence: 0=P1,0,K119,10 1=P1,0,K119,10 and I wanted a normal rate on left turn of the rotary knob defining a different single key click Up for this, hence: 3=U1,0,K119,10 Lines 4,5 & 6 for turning the knob to the right in the same fashion (line 2 escaped into the ether somewhere) The following was an attempt at replicating your manual for using those assignments in a toggle fashion. 7=CP(F+1,5)(+1,1)1,0,C1005,256 8=CU(F+1,5)(+1,1)1,0,C1005,256 9=CP(F-1,5)(+1,1)1,0,C1005,256 10=CU(F-1,5)(+1,1)1,0,C1005,256 I understand in principle what you have explained, but I admit I have to now go away and think on that and read your notes again. Appreciate your time, Sincerely, David

G'day Pete, The Sandel only works with the FS controls when in the VOR display mode - not in the GPS display mode (from what I can see anyway). Sandel does have its own ini file for the key stroke commands for the GPS display mode. Only one rate for decrease/increase of course indicator. With a push (and hold) button, these work just fine. But with a rotary encoder (with push button) I have a different ball game [using a 'Desktop Aviator' card]. Ignoring the VOR component of this device, I would like to use your latter option of toggling between fast and slow turn rate of the course indicator in GPS mode. Using just the raw rotary encoder is way too slow for large CDI changes. Hence my attempt at flagsto swap between speeds with a momentary push of the button. Have I confused you yet - I should have :) Cheers, David

Hello Folk, My understanding of this capability is obvioiusly not correct as I would have had the following working. Am trying to use rotary knob with push button to work the OBS dial in 2 modes on the Sandell 3308 in Dreemfleet A36. The turn rate is too slow so I used 0=P1,0,K119,10 1=P1,0,K119,10 to accelerate the movement. This works fine. However I would like the push button to revert the turn rate back to normal - for fine tuning the OBS selection. This is the bit I am messing up. Here is the full txt: push button 1,5 CRS dec CTR+F8 Button 1,0 CRS inc CTR+F3 Button 1,1 [buttons.DreamFleet Beech Bonanza A36] 0=P1,0,K119,10 1=P1,0,K119,10 3=U1,0,K119,10 4=P1,1,K114,10 5=P1,1,K114,10 6=U1,1,K114,10 7=CP(F+1,5)(+1,1)1,0,C1005,256 8=CU(F+1,5)(+1,1)1,0,C1005,256 9=CP(F-1,5)(+1,1)1,0,C1005,256 10=CU(F-1,5)(+1,1)1,0,C1005,256 Any suggestions would be appreciated, Thanks, David

Hi guys - appears to install correctly - when i run FS9 and go to the modules drop down menu all I get is the FSUIPC options and settings page (About and register plus logging tab) - I cant go further than this. version 3.991 Am I missing something basic ? Which is on the cards for me :) Thanks, David
