  2. Needing help programming Keys for PTT

    in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules

    Posted

    Hello Pete,

    Okay, let's pause there for a moment:

    How are those switches programmed to do those things in FS? What software do you use to do thisare the switches seen as Joystick Buttons pr Key Presses in FS or FSUIPC, or are those functions provided by some software from Aerosoft?

    The switches are programmed by the Aerosoft MCP internal software, which uses FSUIPC variables in decimal.

    Heres an example from Aerosoft:

    3008,2,+16383,0,65535,1,75,Trim Up (repeat)

    0,0,0,0,0,0,0,

    Let's use the Trim Down function for this explanation. Access to the trim variable in FS2002 is via decimal address 3008 and is stored in 2 bytes. The 'ON Value' in this instance is -16383, a negative number. Every 75 milliseconds the value of -75 is added to the current trim value until it gets to the limit of -16383.

    Do not confuse the -75 value with the value of 75 milliseconds. These commands are REPEATED every 75 milliseconds which is about 13 times a second. 75 just happens to be a comfortable value with which to trim an aircraft.

    So, in the above example, a value of -75 will be sent to the trim variable in FS2002 around 13 times every second.

    This infor for the keys is saved in the program path from MCP747 in the file fs2002data.txt . When i add there a line with the variable for the PTT key, it should work.

    if you need more info, contact me again,

    greetings

    more info on the expansion interface can be found on http://www.mcp747.com in the hardware section, or in THIS text

    Hi,

    I am using an expansion slot for my Aerosoft MCP747 panel. It is connected to the expansion port1. There are many switches connected (fuel cutoff, nav id, doors,....) i want to connect a push button for AVC.

    That means, when i push this button AVC should send, when i release it it should stop sending.

    The difficult on this is, that the keys are not recognized from FS, so i have to programm PTT on and PTT off from FSUIPC to those key. And that is, what iam not understanding. I painted the problem in paint, i hope you understand my big problem.

  4. Setting radio stack values

    in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules

    Hi,

    i hope someone can help me. Iam new in programming with FSUIPC.

    I wanted to know if following is working:

    I want to build a aNAV/COM/XPDR/ADF input device. I have the Aerosoft MCP 747 panel and connected over an expansion port rotary switches.

    I want the following, when i turn the switch it sould change the nav freq before the dot example: 123 to 119 and with an other rotary the 2 digits behind the dot. with a normal switch i want change it from standby to operationg and the operating to standby. This should word with NAV1/NAV2/COM/ ADF and i want to set the transponder code via push buttons. And at least, perfekt would be to change also the QNH settings.

    But, thats my biggest problem, i dont have programmed with FSUIPC until yet.

    Can anyone give me an example for COM or NAV, then i can copy this command and change it to the other things i need. please, help me..... 8)

    thanks for your help.

    greetings
