  2. Another non Aircraft specific Question - Detect a specific Keypress

    in FSUIPC7 MSFS

    Posted

    Hello,
    in my Script, i need to detect the Press of specific Keys and do some Action, if the Key is pressed.
    I tried with this one: if ipc.keypressplus(104,8) == 0 then ..........
    If detected, that NumPad 8 is pressed and released the Script will send some Instructions to the Plane.
    But unfortunately that does'nt work.
    Could you please offer a Solution for it? Thanks in Advance, Joachim

  4. Simulate Joy Button Press via Lua Script

    Generally not, only for virtual buttons - see the ipc.btnPress, ipc.btnRelease and ipc.btnToggle lua functions.

    But why do you want to do this? Can you not just simulate the action that the button press performs when your condition is met, rather than the button press itself?

    In general i could do that. But for each A/C i have a different FlightLog.lua and an according Window.lua
    I start them with one Joystick Button on the Press and Release Event. My Aim is now, to open a second Window if necessary for the used Plane.
    This could be named Window2.lua and could be assigned to a separate Joystick Button in the FSUIPC Button Assignments. And so i want to simulate
    the Button Press with Lua Code, if my Condition is fulfilled. I want to do it this Way to hold the FlightLog itself as small as possible for Maintenance Reasons.
    I know, i could fill all the Window Texts in the FlightLog, but i would prefer the separate File Solution for each Window.lua, if possible

    In general yes (see the FSUIPC Lua Event library), but it depends on if the special condition can be detected with code; that is, are the necessary simvars (variables) associated with the special condition available?  I think it would help John give you the best answer if you would provide him with some information on the nature of the special condition you are talking about.

    I have several Planes, that were controlled and directed by a File named FlightLog.lua
    For every Plane there is a separate File, that contains the SimVars and Lvars of this Plane. This File is also named FlightLog but extended with the ID of this Aircraft, i.E. FlightLog.DAIJB
    The Reason for this is to save my Flights in a MS Access Database. Before starting a Flight, i file FlightPlans, Fuel Amounts, PayLoad, etc. in this DB. Once everything is done, i rename
    the File FlightLog.DAIJB to FlightLog.lua and copy it from the Scripts Folder to the FSUIPC Folder. Because of that, i have all Variables according to the used Plane in the FlightLog.lua and 
    can assure, that the Variables are available at the Runtime. For each of this Aircraft there are different Variables, that will be used, to trigger the Condition where the simulated Joystick Button should be pressed.  

  7. Non Aircraft specific Question - Changing Window Positions doesn' have an Effect.

    Yes, and I quoted it in my previous comment....again:

    The options can be any mix of these (add them together):WND_BOLD, WND_ITALIC, WND_UNDER, WND_STRIKE.

    Okay, Thats what is stated in the Docs. Do you see a + Sign in here?
    I can add them together. Maybe you should explain this more clearly that this only works with the + Sign and not as stated here with the , Sign.

    But anyway, thanks for the Help.

    Tried the new Version. Works okay. But i got a Question about Multi Combinations like this:
        wnd.font(w, WND_ARIAL,64, WND_UNDER, WND_BOLD)
    This shows the Text Underlined but not Underlined and Bold as expected.

    Tried several Writings like this:
        wnd.font(w, WND_ARIAL,64)
        wnd.font(w, WND_UNDER, WND_BOLD)
       wnd.text(w, "Arbeitsliste FBW A20N" .. "    Local Time " .. fstime  .. "    Zulu Time ".. zulu)
    This shows the so small, that is unreadable.
    Is there a Solution for?

    Sorry for asking again.
    This is from your Example before except from the Time Values. 
        fstime = string.format("%02d:%02d:%02d", ipc.readUB(0x0238), ipc.readUB(0x0239), ipc.readUB(0x023A))
        zulu = string.format("%02d:%02d:%02d", ipc.readUB(0x0238) - 2, ipc.readUB(0x0239), ipc.readUB(0x023A))

        wnd.font(w, WND_ARIAL,64,WND_UNDER)    
        wnd.text(w, "Arbeitsliste FBW A20N" .. "    Local Time " .. fstime  .. "    Zulu Time ".. zulu)
    Unfortunately it seems not to work. I expected an Underline, but this is the Result.

    There is no Underline to see. Do you have any Hint for me please?

    May i please you, to help me out? I understand, what you have texted, but i don't have any Idea, how to code it.
    I will give you a short Overview of my Window:

    These are the Font Settings adapted from your Example:
    -- These set the colours and font to be used.
    wnd.backcol(w, 0x000)
    wnd.textcol(w, 0x6c0)
    wnd.font(w, WND_ARIAL,64)

    And this is a Part of my Window Code:
    image.thumb.png.3089fb1c4ed42d1daf3fe56fad1a9e5f.png

    On the left Side, you can see the Line Numbers in the Code.
    Could you please give a short Code Example, how to set the Text in LineNbr. 30 to Bold and underlined and to reset them back to normal at LineNbr. 31 and further?
    I know, you normally code not for your Customers. But i would highly appreciate a little Help.
    Thanks a lot in Advance

  24. A non Aircraft specific Question regarding MSFS Vars

    in FSUIPC7 MSFS

    16 hours ago, John Dowson said:

     ipc.execCalcCode("50 (>K:2:LIGHT_POTENTIOMETER_SET)")

    That also has no Effect. Seems, this Technology is too high for me.
    I put a new Line in the events.txt.
    A32NX_OH_INTEG_LIGHT_25#(A:LIGHT POTENTIOMETER:86,percent) 25 (>K:2:LIGHT_POTENTIOMETER_SET)
    This should set the Light Poti to 25. But how do i code this in my Lua Script?

    Sorry that i stretch your Nervs with my Lack of Knowledge.

    The Presets are a great Work. Finding and Binding them to a Button or Key in FSUIPC 7.3.23 is pretty easy.
    But unfortunately this is not, what i need. I want to set a fixed Value i.E. to Potentiometer:86 via ipc.execCalcCode or any other Command in my Lua Script.
    I tried this Command: ipc.execCalcCode("0.5 (>A:LIGHT POTENTIOMETER:86, Percent over 100)")
    But that has no Effect.

    Seems like i am unable to do, what i need and i have to set all those Potis by Mouse Clicks in the VC.
    Thanks for your Help so far and have a nice Sunday.

    Joachim
