  1. Thanks so much for your detailed reply Paul. I am afraid I dont understand a lot of what you have written, due to my poor knowledge of variables/scripts etc, so I will just have to play around with the ini file until I hit on something that does what I am seeking to do I managed to work out the PMDG 737 thru FSUIPC using the GUI, (That was 2 engines) and the code was written into the INI file for me, so referring to that, I should be able to work out how the toggle thingy works once I have understood the Advanced user guide a bit more Thanks Chris
  2. The X52 pro has 6 toggle positions (3 up/3 Down) spring loaded so they stay in the centre position. I currently have 1 of the switches (1 up/1 down) assigned to Ctrl-L (down) and Ctrl-T (up) for landing and taxi lights. The PMDG 737ngx FMC keyboard assignments has Ctrl-L and Ctrl-T for the same. In FSUIPC, I have the same key assignments for that switch, and the landing lights toggle on/off when I click the switch down and the taxi lights toggle on/off when I flick the switch up. All good That leaves me with 4 switch positions left, 2 up and 2 down. As I fly the PMDG 737NGX a lot, I have assigned 1 up/1 down to engine 1 idle and cutoff and the other to engine 2 idle and cutoff I have now just bought the PMDG 747v2 (and don't have enough switch positions left to have the same arrangement as I had in the PMDG 737NGX for fuel control) I would like to see if there is a way to set this so when starting the 747, I can set these toggle switches so that if I toggle the first switch up, it flicks the Engine 1 switch to run and if I toggle the same switch up (again) at the end of a flight it moves the switch to Engine 1 cutoff. This way I can use the 4 free switch positions to start and cut the 4 engines on the 747 leaving the other 2 free switch positions for taxi and landing lights, as per the 737 NGX
  3. Thanks Peter, Yes that works fine with the PMDG 737NGX now
  4. "And please ALWAYS test on a default aircraft. I have no idea whether the PMDG aircraft follows standard FS controls for doors or not! Do you know? Have you tried the keys Shift+E then 2, 3 or 4 to select the other doors?" Yes it works OK on the default 737 once I took out the action to complete on release of the key. I saw the toggle bits parameter and tried that and it toggles all the doors with the one button. As far as the PMDG 737 NGX goes, you can assign pretty much any keys to the doors and cargo doors thru the FMC. I may need to read up on the PMDG Offset mapping to work out how to use the toggle all doors with that aircraft (if it can be done) I have disabled the FSX controls now so its all FSUIPC Thanks for your help, and enjoy your break :-)
  5. Yes, I have assigned them before, but had never used the offset one. I have assigned (I think) from your instructions, see link to pic: http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l87/statesman_2006/fsuipc1_zpsddrbbwje.jpg After selecting Ok in the FSUIPC box, I try the exit button on the joystick in FSX with the PMDG 737ngx, but still only the FWD left opens. If I go back into FSUIPC, some fields have changed: see pic link: http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l87/statesman_2006/FSUIPC2_zpsuqifxkir.jpg In FSX Controls, I have the joystick enabled, but the only entry is for the POV Hat switch, as I deleted all the other entries as I use FSUIPC for assignments. I also tried assigning my Exits button to Doors/Open/Close in FSX controls just in case that was a requirement for it to work. I assume that there is something I havn't configured correctly for all the doors and cargo hatches to open up with one button push Also meant to add have PMDG 737NGX SP1d installed Thanks Chris
  6. Thanks for your quick reply Pete, but I'm afraid you have completley lost me from "To open them all assign to Offset Byte Set with parameter 15 and offset x3367." Does this get written in the FSUIPC ini file?
  7. Hello there. I have a regd version of FSUIPC 4.939t and was wondering if there is a way through FSUIPC to assign one button on the joystick to open all the exits fwd/aft and cargo doors fwd/aft? I have one button currently assigned to shift+E when I press it and when it is released I have programmed Shift+F to open the rear left aft. Pressing this button again closes them both. Currently my other assignments, Shift+H, Shift+I Shift+J and Shift+K for the R/H Fwd/Aft and front and rear cargo doors are set thru the PMDG FMC, but would be handy when using GSX to have the one Exits button toggle them all Thanks Chris Perth, Western Australia
  8. Thanks for the reply Peter. I'll post this question on the OPUS forum to see if there is a way around getting OPUSFSX to recognize the 2 throttle POV/Buttons. In the above image, the "Coolie" and "CMS" buttons are seen in FSX Controls and in FSX/ Windows calibration, so it may be that OPUS doesnt use Direct Input.
  9. Hi Peter, Have recently registered FSUIPC 4.9, and flying the PMDG 737NGX, which in VC view requires some sort of Pan View or a program like OpusFSX to set up for example, a view of the throttles. The G940 has 2 POV hats on each unit. I have completley disabled the HOTAS in FSX and using FSUIPC exclusivley to calibrate and assign. I have assigned all the basic axis and buttons My problem is I need to assign all the POVs in FSUIPC, but I dont know what I need to select inside FSUIPC. I have attached a pic of the unit that may assist with my question The problem is when in OpusFSX and after setting up the view of the throttles, when I select either of the POV buttons on the throttle, they dont register as valid, but when I select either of the POV buttons on the flight stick, they do. I needed all the internal views on the 2 x POV's hats on the throttle and all the external views on the 2 x POV's hats on the flightstick. I understand that you are not expected to support OPUS software, but I think once I can get FSUIPC to recognize all the POV hats, OpusFSX will recognize them, solving the problem. In devices and printers/Logitech G940/Throttle (HID)/properties, all the buttons on both POV hats register, as do the buttons in Logitech G940/Joystick (HID)/properties Win 7 x 64, FSX Accel Thanks, Chris Morgan Perth, Western Australia
