Well the title pretty much says all.
You should have had surgery on 14, hope all went well.
Best wishes for a fast and easy recovery!
-
Just place your bet sir!
Fsbus
Photon
Iocards
Epic
and many more!

In the Techincal Tab, mark "Fix Control Acceleration".
That should solve it.
Also please check if you have this same problems with default aircrafts also or not.

My eyes have been proving more troublesome than I anticipated.
Hope you mean in terms of fatigue and work, not that something happened?
Best wishes (to your wife too)

I use ActiveSky and i do not have that bad results as you say.
Sometimes i have rapid shifts, but they are not influencing my flight to such a bad degree.
Anyway Peter was working on something about winds, i think he will be able to tell you more.

WideFS has become payware at the same fsuipc became payware.
So now you have to pay for both.
Unless you still use an old version you had.
On simmarket there were discounts for buying them together.

You need FSUIPC registered, then under the "buttons" tab you have to do the following:
-press the joystick button you want to program, it should get recognized by FSUIPC and appear in the upper line
-on the right mark "select for FS control"
-the drop down list that was grayed out is now usable
-select "offset byte control"
and in the fields enter the informations provided by Peter.
That's it.

About the rotaries:
it is possible to think of a system in which the phased outputs of the encoders are common.
In such a system you have only one direction/pulse decoder, but you have to check the grounds of all the encoders...
You are simply shifting the problem from the output to the input.
I mean: usually encoders have ground in common, and the phased outputs are read for each encoder.
It is possible (in theory) to make a device in which the outputs are in common, and you check the grounds, but it requires a very complicated circuitry. Better to use the standard system...
About the axis control: sadly FS itself only disables the throttle, all the other axis remain active while in autoflight.

Can you tell us what was the problem?
So that everybody can do a search and maybe find the answer he needs :)
And to satisfy my curiosity too ;)

:shock: :? :?:
That quote is from a message of mine sent to CJK!
Well.... anyway that was what I did and everything is fine.
By sending you a PM with that written in, i suppose CJK did the same thing and did not get the same effect as me....
Only suppositions though...

Have you received my PM?

I try to explain what is the problem here:
when you assign a keyboard function to an hardware button, many things may happen.
All of which you can simulate with your keyboard and a finger.
If you assign the actions "ON" and "OFF" to a hardware momentary button, when you press it it's like pressing the "L" key two times.
You get the lights on and off rapidly.
Then, if you also turn on in fsuipc the "AUTOREPEAT" function, holding down the button, will result in a repeated continous press and release of the L key, resuling in the strobing effect.
So you have to check what Peter told you about toggle and momentary.
Toggle switches are those which hold their position (like lever switches), momentary are those which hold the position only as long as you keep them pressed (like for example the keyes on your keyboard).
So if you assign a momentary action to a toggle switch, you will get repeated actions.
So please try to check you are using the correct type of action for your hardware.
If you have a two state knob or switch, use LANDING LIGHTS ON and LANDING LIGHTS OFF types for the two states of the knob/switch.
Hope this helps.

Don't think so without a running application.
To communicate with FSUIPC you have to include a library in the program you are writing, so to include the necessary functions.
I do not think these functions are commonly available...
Unless you make an application which is a link between the http base platform, and fsuipc.

6000 miles are a bit too much....
But positioning errors in sqawkbox usually are to be referred to the international setting for the decimal symbol.
If your country usually use comma for decimal, squawkbox will have problems, as it cuts everything after the comma.
So if you receive a lat of 12,45, it becomes 12.
You have to set the decimal symbol as dot.
-
No, it is not possible.
Not because of WideFS, but because PMDG panel is made of gauges, sort-of dlls loaded by flight simulator.
WideFS exist to allow external programs (such as the PM softwares or Activesky, etc) to access FS from different computers. It can't load gauges.

Mhhh ok you were talking HEX i was talking DEC...
Thank you Pete, helpfull as usual :)
Best regards

For example, take the string "Pete". Inside the computer, in ASCII, this is 4 bytes (one per character) plus a zero terminator. Ignoring the latter for the moment, the 4 bytes in hexadecimal would contain:
50 65 74 65
Pete, sorry to bring this thread up again, but here i need to know:
which one is wrong between your statement above and this ascii table? http://www.asciitable.com/
Please, forgive me, i do not intend to just point out your errors, i really need to know which one is right for an article i'm writing.
Thank you
Claudio

can do it by program. Either use the FSUIPC facility but switch it off (offset 32F6) whilst the APU is not running (and no Ground Power is available -- don't forget the ground power option! :) ).
He he :)
First i must have the electrical system running correctly (which is a very tough work), after that i can see to retrofit my plane with the 115vac plug :D
About the 32F6, this is a control bit, so i have to enter a number in the fsuipc setup in order for it to work.
I can't do this:
when apu running stop dischargeing battery
when apu not running, discharge battery
This would need control on the "extend battery life" value which is not possible :(
Or you can investigate manipulating the battery directly -- offset 2834 should be useful.So the battery charge is based on the voltage output readable from this offset?
I have to do some testing about this...
Thank you for the info, usefull as usual :)

FSUIPC provides control over excessive battery discharge.
But is this "discharge" percentage available to users?
I haven't found anything about it.
I would like to simulate an apu and have the battery discharge stop when the apu gens are connected (like some commercial products do) but i can't find the controls.
Thanks

I read you used "string" as type for the variable.
Don't know VB, but for C string and char are two different things.
And anyway how are you checking what data has been loaded in the variable?
Because it may be that now you are getting the data right, but you are displaying it wrong always because of data type...
-
-
Anyway, just in case your comment causes more confusion, please note that the FSUIPC_Read and _Write procedures themselves do not care >>>one iota<<< what the data is.
-
Sorry, i didn't understand the problem entirely.
Then as Peter said the only option is to use an external weather app.
-
You mean that with FS9 I can configure my weather to be updated every few minutes and also limit surface winds?
No the surface wind limit is an option of the FSUIPC module.
fsuipc vs VB.Net
in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules

Philippe, Peter advice to use FSI is good, but be warned: FSI may be vicious.
Assuming that any offset occupies AT LEAST 2 bytes (which is true for the majority of values, but there are exceptions) every row of FSI is a 2 bytes offset.
Then the columns do support I64 values and other big things.
This all contrast as you may end up looking at a value in a raw, and see something change in the row above and getting confused.
It's because there is no clear division in FSI, everything is read and not categorized.
There are no 2 bytes offsets, or 8 bytes offsets.
The longest offsets (like file pointers, or coordinate values) do not exist: they are simply splitted in a number of words.
So it's up to you to keep this in mind and not be fooled by some of the FSI shows.
My 2 cents :)
