  1. Hi,

    the AGL Cycle is not working as it should. It does not switch correctly. It is changing constantly between middle and off although I am 10000feet above the switching to OFF AGL.

    low: below 3000ft

    middle: between 3000 and 12000

    off: above 12000

     

    FSPS told me this is a FSUIPC problem - is it? If yes why do they do not tell this to people who want to buy a working app. Yes FSPS is not responsible for FSUIPC but if the working base on the AGL CYCLE function is FSUIPC then it should work or they should tell that it does not work or make problems cause FSUIPC is not reporting the correct AGL (this is btw the answer of the FSPS support)

     

    Does anybody know to solve this problem or has the same problem?

     

    Kind Regards Tom

  2. Thnx a lot Pete,

    actually I do not want a complicate life for sure.

    I cannot assign directly the "approach lights" of the DASH8 via FSUIPC. And I cannot make a macro with the FSUIPC macro tool. It just does not work on the virtaul cockpit of the DASH and there is no 2D panel. That is why I thought I can use the Linda lua script to make it work.

    Kind Regards Tom

    Sorry I picked thr wrong part i am such a dummy (working in filmbusiness - We can do everything but nothing properly) :razz: Sorry for my bad english

    EXAMPLE

    function Lights_Approach_On ()

    Lvar = "L:OHD_EXT_LIGHTS_L_APPR_SW"

    ipc.writeLvar(Lvar, 1)

    end

    function Lights_Approach_Off ()

    Lvar = "L:OHD_EXT_LIGHTS_L_APPR_SW"

    ipc.writeLvar(Lvar, 0)

    end

  3. Hello Pete, thnx for getting back to me. I will try to explain more clearly.

    A LINDA user offers a LINDA MODUL with a LUA script for using with VRINSIGHT and Joysticks. Unfortunately GOFLIGHT switches are not supported via LINDA.

    And here comes my question as LINDA is a LUA script - can I use the script in FSUIPC to root it to GOFLIGHT switches - like I do this with FSUIPC macros.

    For example I have the lines for the apporach lights on and off - if I wolud know how I can use this lines to make the lights working through GOFLIGHT switch 109 I could start to understand and could retry for other actions.

    You see that I was told that this must work - I did what was mentioned as far as I understand but from here - & adding to that file "parameter" switch codes for those actions you want to setup thru fsuipc - I am totally lost I do not know what is ment.

    Kind Regards Tom

    The EXAMPLE:

    -- ## System functions ##

    function InitVars ()

    -- uncomment to disable display

    -- AutopilotDisplayBlocked ()

    end

    -- ## Exterior Lights ###############

    function Light_LandingAll_On ()

    Lights_Approach_On ()

    Lights_Flare_On ()

    end

    function Light_LandingAll_Off ()

    Lights_Approach_Off ()

    Lights_Flare_Off ()

  4. Hello,

    I had a short discussion in the Linda Forum, please have a short look at what I was asking for. Are you able to show me an example and or tell me where I will found the topic in the FSUIPC guides.

    Thnx a lot Tom

    My question:

    What I like to know is if it is possible to use the commands which are LUA scripted in LINDA can be used in FSUIPC for switching through keystroke or other hardware which is not listed in LINDA? Example: FSUIPC mouse macros I can use via FSUIPC on a GoFlight Switch panel, is there any possibillity that I bring Commands from the linda lua scipt to goflight?

    Cheers Tom

    The answer:

    tom

    yes you can .... by copying / renaming the actions.lua to the main module folder & adding to that file "parameter" switch codes for those actions you want to setup thru fsuipc.

    there are notes on this in the fsuipc guides.

    unfortunately, i'm away from my simming pc & can't show you examples / or give page references.

    trust another member (gunter) can help in the near term & like i may have rebuilt files to offer if we know the aircraft..

  5. I don't know for certain - it didn't delete mine, it just blocked me from downloading a copy, but it's probably in a quarantine folder somewhere. I've never had to rescue a file quarantined by AVAST, so I'm not sure where it hides them, sorry.

    Possibly the settings in the AVAST UI might tell you?

    Ian P.

    Yes it is in the quarantine folder. So I have to figure out how to tell AVAST that this file is ok.... :mad:

    I guess not so easy.

    @Pete Dowson - do you have any idea why AVAST see it as virus infected?

    Kind Regards Tom

  6. Pete you just gave me the right hint - it looks that my antivirus software AVAST caused the problem. I shut it down the file was there. I switched it on - the file was gone. Strange this happened the first time on all machines where I have AVAST. Normally it asks for actions - in this case not. Now the client is working and connected to the win7 machine.

    Thnx a lot Tom

  7. Peter I have a strange problem with the WideClient.exe. After download with my laptop (Mac) I see the WideClient.exe in the folder. I transfered it to my 2nd FSX computer with an winxp system. If I open the folder I saw the WideClient.exe for a short moment and then it disapeared. Really it just disapeared and I have no chance to get it back. Only the Closer app stays. Do you have any idea why? Never had this with any other apps on this machine.

    If I download it directly on that machine it is not there when I open the folder after DL???!!!

    I downloaded it to another win machine it is not there when I open the folder after DL???!!!

    Strange maybe hopefully you are able to help.

    Kind Regards Tom
