  1. I don't know what did the trick, but now it is working. Installing FSUIPC in a root folder, updating PMDG or - most likely - having missed to activate WASM in FSUIPC. And of course FSUIPC has nothing to do with the Addons Linker - it just sat in the folder where I have other community addons... Thanks for your support 🙂 Boris
  2. Hi, I'd like to pick this up, since it was not so long ago. I have FSUIPC 7.3.6, all the PMDG events in the events.txt file, and none of it works. I tried changing the parameters, but no success. I don't use Mobiflight or anything else, just FSUIPC (and Linda, if it would work, which it doesn't either). FSUIPC is installed in my MSFS addons folder (which is H:\Addons\Tools, with H: being my MSFS drive) and linked via the Addons Linker. Normal sim functions, like flaps incr-decr or gear up-down, are working, though. Any help is appreciated 🙂 Regards Boris
  3. Not sure if I understand this correctly. Flight dynamics is actually not that bad in general in MSFS, but control surfaces effect is hopelessly overdone in most of the default aircraft. The Asobo guys are great in creating environment, but they have no idea how flying works. So, what I would like to achieve is to move the joystick over its full range, but have only, say, half of the control surface deflection (meaning: half the output). Slope is not the right way, because it does not work even remotely realistic - there is basically nothing within 70% of the joystick movement, and then suddenly full deflection. The term "sensitivity" is abiguous here - it depends how you understand it. So I try to explain in percentage values what I mean (example: rudder, because this is the worst): In default setting, 100% of joystick deflection generates 100% of rudder deflection. Any slope still gives you 100% rudder deflection, and an aircraft bouncing all over the place. What I would like to have is 100% joystick deflection, but only 50% rudder deflection at 100% joystick, with a linear response. For those who are familiar with RC airplanes, that setting is called "dual rate". Is this possible with the method John explained?
  4. DUH! This tickbox was so tiny, I simply didn't see it :roll: Thanks a lot Boris
  5. Hi, is it possible to program controller axes output values manually? I wold like to do this for the throttle axes. In the axis calibration window it shows the IN and OUT values. IN ranges from -16300 to +16300, OUT too when the axis is not processed. Using the idle and reverse setting does not work for the addon I want to use it with (the Eaglesoft Citation X, which is, as already discussed, not programmed according to FSUIPC standard). What happens is that as soon a negative OUT value is detected, the throttles disappear and I have only the upper half of the lever path for throttle control. So: Can I manually assign corresponding OUT values to the IN values indepentendly to the axis calibration? Throttle Full: IN +16300 / OUT +16300 Throttle Idle: IN -16300 / OUT 0 with linear characteristics (meaning having the full lever path available over the defined OUT value range). Thanks and Regards Boris
  6. Hello Pete, I may join in here, as I ran into that situation myself earlier (not with the same panel, but the same problem). I have looked into this gauge here: it is XML, and it is using Lvars - FS9 though. It affects all switches on that panel, although many of them are addressing standard FS9 functions. Does FSUIPC for FS9 also have the capability of "talking" to XML gauges? I'm pretty sure it can be done somehow; aren't many addon gauges communicating with FS via FSUIPC in the first place? Regards Boris
  7. Offset might have been the incorrect term here. I give an example: KOHLSMAN_INC is 65883, KOHLSMAN_DEC is 65884. With these values I can access the baro setting directly from SIOC by sending FS control 65883 or 65884 when turning a rotary encoder. Logging gives me for example this: *** EVENT: Cntrl= 65883 (0x0001015b), Param= 0 (0x00000000) KOHLSMAN_INC <-- I can see FS control 65883 for KOHLSMAN_INC FSUIPC Control Action: Ctrl=0, Param=0 I built a transponder with 2 rotaries, one for the higher two digits, one for the lower two. The function I want to use is the one I mentioned above, and it was added with one of the FSUIPC updates after the 2003 list was written (at least the function is in FSUIPC, but not in the list). For testing, I have assigned four buttons, one for each function. Log: 364453 Button changed: bRef=0, Joy=2, Btn=4, Pressed 364453 [buttons] 9=P2,4,C1055,0 364453 FSUIPC Control Action: Ctrl=1055, Param=0 364578 Button changed: bRef=0, Joy=2, Btn=4, Released Here I don't see the EVENT: Cntrl= xxxxx for Xpndr High NN Inc, which increases the higer two digits. Therefore I am looking for the FS controls (is that the correct term?) for: XPndr High NN Inc XPndr High NN Dec XPndr Low NN Inc XPndr Low NN Dec And of course I did a search for transponder/XPNDR through all the FSUIPC documentation I have before posting here. Regards Boris
  8. Hello, I am looking for the offsets for the FSUIPC functions XPndr High/Low NN Inc/dec. I want to access this function directly via SIOC rather than via an FSUIPC button. The latest list of FS controls I found is from 2003, when these functions were not yet there. Thanks Boris
  9. Peter, thanks for the information. I indeed missed the fact that I hadn't the current SDK - looking at too many numbers recently and thought mine was current :? As for the realism: I agree, when you have real pedals with real resistance where you can really step on. If you really step on the CH pedals like on brakes in a real aircraft, they'll break into pieces. Here, the parkig brake is being released with the slightest input from the toe brakes, and now I can get rid of this. Regards Boris
  10. Hello, when the parking brake is set, a small input on the pedals is enough to release it. As I found in the documentation, the parking brake is not a fixed state but the application of max brake pressure. Is there a way to disable the pedal input when the parking brake is set? This would especially be convenient for the small home cockpit I am currently building :) It has a hardware parking brake switch, and I want the parking brake to be set fixed and not influenced by a pedal input. Is there probably an offset like $0310A / $0310B which allows me to deactivate the brake axes with a switch? Thanks Boris
  11. Hi, is it possible to access the sound settings of FS2004 (engines, cockpit etc.) other than via the FS menu? More specific: Is there an FSUIPC variable (maybe SOUND_SET plus parameter) that lets me set the volume of engines and ATC externally with a key assignment or external hardware? Thanks and Regards Boris
  12. Good evening :) first time flying a turbuprop (the default King Air in this case) with the TQ, I experience the following problem: I have set the power and prop axes with FSUIPC 3.48 to work the full way (power to reverse and prop to feather). With the throttle in or close to idle and the prop lever at high rpm I have severe and random prop rpm drops, just as if the prop lever is being pulled to feather momentarily. This happens on either engine and with or without the filter set in FSUIPC (dunno if this has something to do with it, though). It does not happen with the axes not processed, but then I can't control reverse or feather. As this is the setting for taxi and approach, flying is not much fun with this problem :( I hope somebody can help me. Thanks Boris
  13. Hello Pete, thank you very much for this quick and detailed answer :) Boris
  14. Good Morning :) I'm looking for a documentation or description of the FS2004 controls as shown in the respective Word document. I have difficulties to assign many of the designators to specific commands (What does it do? :roll: ) and to see the difference in many similar looking controls (What is the difference between AP_AIRSPEED_HOLD, AP_PANEL_SPEED_HOLD and AP_PANEL_SPEED_HOLD_TOGGLE, for instance? :roll: ) And one more: Are these controls only the inputs or are there also outputs to use in external display hardware? Can anybody help? Thanks Boris
