[Function on button release]

I have a problem with assigning functions to a button.

When I asign a function on button press and on button release,

the button release function only works when cycling the button.

Depressing alone does not activate the function defined on button release.

I want to define a switch for gear up and gear down.

With the toggle function in FSUIPC it is the same, just depressing makes no function,

I have to cycle again to get the depress function.

I use a keyboard encoder card on a remote pc sending via wideclient the keyboard commands

to fsuipc on server computer.

I noticed that with all FSUIPC versions I could test so far.

Thanks

[FSUIPC 3.847 Axis intercepts]

Hi Pete,

I have defined and calibrated the flaps in FSUIPC 3.847 with FS2004.

But I need to run another driver for the throttle that tries also to set the flaps.

So the problem is the flaps setting from FSUIPC 3.847 is overruled by that driver trying to keep flaps 0.

In Fsuipc 4 with FSX there is a command axisintercepts=yes, with that setting everything works, Fsuipc is not overruled.

I tried that setting with FSUIPC 3.847 and FS2004 but it seems not to know that command.

Or is there another possibility for FSUIPC to be the only considered source for an axis?

Many thanks for helping

[Widefs and Thomas Richter e checklists]

Hi Pete,

How it is possible to run the projectmagenta CDU program and the Thomas Richter

electronic checklist on one hardware CDU.

Are there offsets to switch between the programs?

Many thanks

[offset for cabin altitude in FSX]

Hi

I was looking for the offsetes in FSUIPC 407 SDK.

But I am sorry I did not remember that the second columns were bytes.

You understood my initial question perfectly, thanks.

Thanks

Gilles

[offset for cabin altitude in FSX]

Hi Pete

Does for example 0318 4 mean

offset 0318 bit 4.

Another question I have is with gfdisplay.

I went through the documentation, but did not find how to

display 0318 bit 4 for example.

I use gfdisplay already for a long time but never had to

define an offset with a bit setting.

Perhaps you have a hint for me.

Many thanks

[FSUIPC 4.07]

Hi Pete

I tried out FSUIPC 4.07 today and found more stutters as

before (4.067) on my remote pc.

I use FSX on main computer with Projectmagenta on remote computers.

Were there any changes to the wideserver module?

Many thanks

[offset for cabin altitude in FSX]

I am using the 737-800

[offset for cabin altitude in FSX]

Hi

I would like to use a Goflight GF45 module

together with FSUIPC and gfdisplay to display the cabin altitude

and climb rate.

I also would like to use the knobs on the Goflight module to set

the final cabin altitude and landing altitude.

Many thanks

[offset for cabin altitude in FSX]

Hi Pete

I am looking for an offset for the cabin altitude (and its format) in FSX.

I was looking through the documentation, but could not find

any information about a cabin altitude offset.

[Engines FSX]

You mean by deleting the inside of the panel.cfg?

Thanks

Gilles

[Engines FSX]

Thanks Pete for helping me

I use the cirrus console from PFC.

In the throttle quadrant tab I have no axis assigned.

The only thing which is assigned in the PFC driver is the rudder, because I have a better throttle for a 737 I do not need anything else. I have to keep the console because my rudderpedal PFC hardware is not a usb version and I can connect it only through the console.

If using (i know it is rather a PM question) Project magenta software which panel would you use? Perhaps the FSx overheadpanel functions are interfering with PMsystems?

Many thanks

Gilles

[Engines FSX]

Hi Pete

I have a big problem.

Very often after about half an hour of flight with FSX and

PMDG 737700, both engines shut down.

I use FSUIPC4, PMsystems, PMBoeing, Cpflight hardware.

I always thought the problem would come from PMsystems, but yesterday

I shut down Pmsystems and the problem appeared as well.

I checked if there were no axis wrongly assigned.

I also use the pfc driver with pfc console but only for the rudder, the other axis are not assigned.

A throttle is connected through fsbus.

It seemed that after disconnecting the pfc hardawre console the problem had disppeared. But I will have to recheck.

Are there any other such problems known?? Because I start to get desesperated..

Many thanks

Gilles

[Happy Christmas]

First of all

Merry Christmas !!!!!

Many thanks for all the help during this year.

I have one question concerning CPflight MCP and FSUIPC.

With FSUIPC 4 and FSX, is there still an option for unchecking the box

"Enable V/S correction". Or is this not needed anymore? Where do I find it?

Many thanks

[aileron and elevator calibration]

Thanks Pete

I will try 4.063

[aileron and elevator calibration]

Hi Pete

I use FSUIPC 4.062 with FSX.

I have assigned aileron an elevator axis in FSUIPC

to send values directly to FSUIPC calibration.

The problem is that the elevator and aileron

axis move too easily and too sensitive even when using

slope 15 for both and assigning a large space for

neutral position.

I also added to FS.cfg "Stick_Sensitivity_Mode=0"

under controls.

I tried in FSX axis assignment to delete

elevator and aileron axis assignment, but then there

are no values alo in FSUIPC calibration.

So I have to keep the axis assignment in FSX

to get FSUIPC calibration to work.

I use in FSX calibration full sensitivity (100%)

but no neutral zone.

Many thanks for helping

[GFdisplay programming]

I just noticed there was a space missing...oups

D1.1=x0BC2 S16 *20 /32768 D02

[GFdisplay programming]

Thanks, you helped me a lot with that.

I think it should be then:

D1.1=x0BC2 S16 *20/32768 D02

I never know where to find the information whether it

is a U8, S8, U16, S16,.....

Where do I find that?

There is no need for adding anything, I did not correctly understand

what was meant in an earlier post

Many thanks

Gilles

[GFdisplay programming]

Hi Pete

I would like to use offset 0BC2 for displaying the elevator trim.

I read already some posts about it.

My question is how do I write this correctly.

(FSTRIM+16384)*20/32768

For example:

D1.1=0BC2 U16 (+16384)*20/32768 ///??????

Do I have a U16 here?

Is the syntax here correct for adding and multiplying?

Many thanks

[Add on menu bar disappearing in FSX]

Hi Pete

I have send the corrected report also to Microsoft

Thanks

Gilles

[Add on menu bar disappearing in FSX]

I am sorry.

Yes, I try to run Ivap on a multi PC setup.

And you are right, I have called the file simconnect.xml.

Iam sorry for the wrong information I gave you tonight. Was a little bit late tonight

Thanks

Gilles

[Add on menu bar disappearing in FSX]

Hi Pete

I thought I should report this.

I also experienced the problem that the addon menu disappeared.

It was working fine until I was setting up IVAP to connect through

simconnect. I disabled the loading of IVAP in the dll.xml file.

I created a new file named "simconnect.dll" in the folder:

C:\Documents and Settings\gilles\Application Data\Microsoft\FSX

with the following content:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="Windows-1252"?>

SimConnect

SimConnect.xml

False

False

IPv4

global

192.168.0.1

6810

After having created and saved that file, I started FSX, the addon menu had disappeared. When I close FSX and I delete that file simconnect.dll

and start FSX again, the addon menu is there again.

I found no solution for that problem.

Many thanks

[Throttle interfering with spoiler]

Pete you are the best!!

Many thanks

[Throttle interfering with spoiler]

Hi Pete

I think this is a complicated issue, but I do not find an explanation

for what is happening, I tried already so muchon my own.

Under FS2004 I had a driver to connect my throttle (hardware).

Everything worked fine. I used offset 0X88C,2 (ENG1) and offset 0X924,2 (ENG2) to write to.

For the spoilers I used offset 0xBD0, 4.

Now in FSX, if I move the throttle levers (they still use the same offsets), the spoilers are deployed too. That means the throttle works correctly but it also moves the spoilers.

I tried with an old PFC console (with PFC driver), there everything was working correctly.

Which offset does the PFC throttle use for the throttle?

Perhaps you have another idea what to check.

Many thanks

Gilles

[Where to find FSX offsets?]

Hi Pete

Is it possible to find somewhere a list already with the FSX offsets?

[GFDEV.dll for FSX]

Hi Pete

Many thanks for your help.

In fact for Fs9 I used only one Gfdisplay 45 module for ADF1 and ADF2. I changed the display with a key, exactly as in your documentation.

But now I understand, I did not realize that I did not need the conditions, if I had a GFmodule for each radio.

Thanks a lot (you really do a great job!)
