Hi John,

thank you for quick reply. Admin privileges was not the problem. In the meantime I have contacted OC. The solution was an update to SIOC v8.

Hi Christoph / @Pilot1801,

were did you get Sioc V8? I am still running on a v7 Beta version and on the opencockpits site I cant find any newer version that a v6. 

Thanks a lot,

[Showcycle.lua display menues on another monitor]

Hi Pete,

I tried it now with the exe file, and the coordinates are correct. 

And suddenly its working... I have no clue why it was not working yesterday.

BUT, there is always a but...

On this screen I have running the Prosim Display in the Lower DU Configuration and I was hoping that the Menue from the LUA file will overlay the Prosim Application, but its not 😞

I also removed the option in Prosim "Stay on top" and "fullscreen", but the menue will everytime be generated below the Prosim Display.

For the photo below I have moved the Lower Eicas a little down to see the generated menue.

Is there any chance to modify this? 

Thanks again,

Markus

Strange then that #2 appears to be portrait shaped: 768 x 1024 maybe?

 

Sorry, missed that in my comment above. 

Yes,  #2 is rotated by 90°, so 768*1024. And on this monitor (which is my Lower EICAS from my 737 in the homecockpit) I want to display the GSX Menue.

So, in theory it would be ("TextLeft", 2048) as a starting point for monitor #2 to display it. 

But I will run the mentioned program in the evening.

Is that picture from nVidia settings (or whatever video card software you are using), or from Windows?

The picture is from Windows 7 directly, no driver.

When you move your mouse pointer, does it go smoothly from 1, through 3 then through 2 then 4?

Yes, it does

Quote

Which is your main Windows screen? The left top of that will be 0,0. Screens to its left (in Windows, not necessarily in the driver) with have negative x coordingates.

Main Screen is the No. 1

What are the sizes of each of those 4 screns (width x height) in pixels?

Number 1, 2 and 3 are 1024x768 pixels. No 4 is 1280x1024

You might want to use a program which shows the screen coordinates of the Mouse pointer, like http://www.adminsehow.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/MousePos.exe.

I will try this programm in the evening today and will report back. 

Best regards,

Markus

 

[Showcycle.lua display menues on another monitor]

Hi Pete,

I have in my homecockpit a machine setup with 4 monitors, running 2x FMC, lower and upper EICAS.

I want to display the GSX Menu via the "ShowMenue.lua" on the Monitor no 2.

 

So I edited the Showcyle.lua to ipc.set("TextLeft", 2048) and assumed that the menue will than be shown starting with 2048px from the left, which is my second monitor.

But it still starts on the left side of the first monitor.

If I go up to 3840, I can see it appearing on the Monitor no 3 (around the 2/3) of the menue, but anything higher would not show the menue any more. 

Do you have a tip getting this moved to the correct monitor on my setup?

Thanks a lot,

Markus

 

[Get "N,S,E,W" letter out of the FS to a SIOC variable]

As per the offsets documentation in your FSUIPC Documents folder (did you look?), the latitude and longitude values are available in two places: 

 

0560, latitude in FS units as a 64-bit integer

0568, longitude in FS units as a 64-bit integer

6010, latitude from GPS in 64-bit floating point format.

6018, longitude from GPS in 64-bit floating point format.

 

Pete

Hi Pete,

 

yes I looked at the provided Offset PDF, but I am not shure how to get only the letters in text not the numbers in one variable to be displayed on the LCD screen.

Or maybe this calculation must be done within SIOC. If its negateive than write "S" to the variable, if we won't get the text direct out of the FS.

 

Mark

[Get "N,S,E,W" letter out of the FS to a SIOC variable]

Hello,

 

I am trying to get from the latitude an longitude from my current position onto an LCD Display from Opencockpits.

But, I am only interested in the leading letter N or S and E or W.

Can someone help me to archive this? What FS offset I must read to get those information ?

 

Thanks a lot,

Mark

[Question to Runway Bumping Effect Tool]

Hi, thanks for answering.

And the bumping effect will be also seen visually with the 2D cockpit?

Is there a video avaialble? The videos only shows the virtual view, therefore I asked.

Thanks again.

[Question to Runway Bumping Effect Tool]

Hi,

can the runway bumping effect tool also be used in the "normal" cockpit.

For my homecockpit I work with the "cockpit view" from FS2004 and disabled all the panels. Will the bumping effect also be shown there or do I need to use the virtual cockpit ?

Thanks alot for your answers.

[Build Throttle - Axes have spikes via FSUIPC]

Hi Pete,

it took a while, but I got a replacement card and installed the card into my cockpit. And all is working very fine now.

No spikes and no multiple buttonpresses anymore.

Thanks alot for your help!

[Build Throttle - Axes have spikes via FSUIPC]

Hi Pete,

one more question. Is there an option available to ignore a complete joystick in FSUIPC?

When I want to assign some key presses via FSUIPC some other joystick keepresses are takin g the focus. Those cards (all BU0836X) are configured via Prosim and therefore no config via FSUIPC is required.

Thanks again,

Mark

[Build Throttle - Axes have spikes via FSUIPC]

Hi Pete,

I have now rewired one axis to another card from Leo.

And I would say, this one is working.

I have contacted Leo via mail for an exchange.

Thanks alot for you fast and fantastic help!

best regards,

Mark

[Build Throttle - Axes have spikes via FSUIPC]

Hi Pete,

I have now checked the above things.

I really hab the throttles and throttle 1 and 2 assigned. I deleted them, but it doesn't show any better effect.

I have uploaded the new log file as well as the .ini file.

All the 6 cards as well as the CH Yoke and my pedals were checked. No assignment

Hi Pete,

here is the ini

[Build Throttle - Axes have spikes via FSUIPC]

Hi Pete,

I have now doublechecked. The Joystick settings are disabled in FS and no axes are assigned in the FS menue.

Would it help if i post the FSUIPC.ini, that you might take a look and maybe see something?

Is there any way to chek for a dual assignment?

Thanks again for you help.

Mark

[Build Throttle - Axes have spikes via FSUIPC]

Hello Pete,

I just finished up building my Throttle. Iam using 10k potentiometers for the Levelers (Engine 1, Eingine 2, Spoiler and Flaps)

The potentiometers are connected to a BU0836X Interface Card from Leo Bodnar.

Via FSUIPC Axis Calibration & Assignment I have assigned the correct axes. Thats working great.

But as you can see in the video I have some spikes in there.

Video

How can I eliminate those? Because when I want to arm the spoilers the spiking disabled the spoilers again...

Is there any solution available within FSUIPC ??

Thanks for your help and best regards,

Mark

Edit: Iam using FS9 and FSUIPC 3.999

[run external program on a specific offset status ?]

Hello Pete,

thanks for you reply.

I have tried the following now:

Assigned in FSUIPC Buttons and Switches section - when the button is pressed hte option "Keysend 1-255 (WideFS)" to 5 and when its released to 6.

In Wideclient.ini I added for testing the following:

RunKey5="C:\Program Files (x86)\ImgBurn\ImgBurn.exe"

RunKey6="C:\Program Files (x86)\FileZilla FTP Client\filezilla.exe"

But nothing happened when the Button was pressed or released.

Maybe I missed something?

Is LUA (which I never made anything before) really required for that?

Thanks again for your help,

Mark

EDIT: Got It now!

RunKey5=C:\Programme\FileZilla FTP Client\filezilla.exe

RunKey6=C:\FSADDONS\Vr Callout\Vr.exe

KeySend5=Runkey5

KeySend6=Runkey6

I found an older thread where the procedure was described.

[run external program on a specific offset status ?]

Hello,

I have a question if this is possible with FSUIPC or LUA script:

If a certain FSUIPC offset is set to 1 an external .cmd file should be executed.

If it is 0 another .cmd file sould be executed on a machine.

The file should be executed on a machine which runs WideFS Client.

I am using FS2004 and the latest FSUIPC module version.

As I am not a programmer, maybe someone can provide me a code where I need to adopt the FSUIPC offset and the external programm that need to be executed.

Is this possible?

Thank you very much with your help.

[FS9 - Door open control]

Hello Pete,

the parameter is not working for FS9.

I have made the "workaround" with your described solution.

Thanks a lot,

Mark

[FS9 - Door open control]

Hi,

I am using FS9 for my Homecockpit and want to open the doors and alternative doors (Shift+E+2) with a button on my overhead.

Via FSUIPC I can assign the toogle aircraft exit state, but this will only operate the main doors. I am wondering if it will be possible to make the keypress Shift+E+2 automatic with FSUIPC.

I tried also this download: http://library.avsim.net/esearch.php?DLCatID=root and built the button in the overhead panel, but FSUIPC Makro wont recognize the click on the button.

Does anyone have a solution for my problem?

Thanks,

Mark

[FSUIPC 3.971 - Joystick names]

i have made now some test. It looks like that the GUID is also the same when you swap the usb ports.

It seems that windows XP also only generates once the GUID and leaves it the same.

Sorry, that's a little ambiguous to me. The same for the specific device, not the specific port?

Yes, the ID stays the same for the device when you switch ports. So each device gets one unique id, I think.

I tried the following: switching some USB cables around and started up fs, opened the FSUIPC Joystick button assignment and than clicked one hardware key. The recognized Joystick alphabetical letter was the same as it should be. So it would be nice when FSUIPC has the possibility to show up the GUIDS for more clarification on the joystick types, when all have the same name.

Well I could make the GUID part of the checking when matching names to letters. It would be like an extension to the name. Isn't that what you mean?

Yes, as an extention it would be great. Sounds great with the matching names to letter option.

regards,

Mark

If you need more information or screenshots, please contact me.

As i understood fsuipc now its important to have all joystick connected one time so fsuipc can generate his ini file. Then you can unplug it and replug it in any usb slot. A new joystick will get a new fresh windows ID and hopefully not an ID before the one who are connected.

best regards,

Mark

[FSUIPC 3.971 - Joystick names]

Hi Pete,

thanks for the PM. Yes, i have read the reply, but i had not time to test it. i will do this tomorrow and i will post the result in there with swapping usb ports on the controllers.

[FSUIPC 3.971 - Joystick names]

Hi Pete,

no all the joystick cards have the same name... Is there apossibility to change those names?

[FSUIPC 3.971 - Joystick names]

i think I have figured it out.

search / replace in the ini file.
