    Pete's Cockpit

    Pete, Thanks again. I will have a look at the Jet Max cockpits. It sounds as though the PFC is the one to go for and if that ties in with the Jet Max offerings, that's great. If you ever sell yours, give me a call! ;-) Well, just landed in Faro, so time for some "supper".... Regards, Graham.
  2. Pete, Many thanks for the explanation - makes perfect sense. I'll have a think about how best I can do this. Enjoy the rest of your evening and thank you once again! Regards, Graham.
  3. Pete, The "D0.1=C0 ="IDNT" Ff6on" is meant to provide 6 flashes of "IDNT" on the G45 unit, but I'm not seeing anything on that (which at least is consistent with the lack of any p8 indication!) :razz: Graham. PS. I have also tried this off-line (thinking of your SB4 clearing it down theory) not sure if it should work, but nothing was seen then either to indicate that Ident was pressed. I would have thought it would IDENT and never stop (as no clearing down by SB).
  4. Pete, Here's a couple of ident presses from the log: Running inside FSX on Windows 7 Module base=66060000 4815736 *** EVENT: Cntrl= 69967 (0x0001114f), Param= 4194304 (0x00400000) <69967> 4815767 Button changed: bRef=0, Joy=101, Btn=6, Pressed 4815767 [buttons] 27=P101,6,C1122,1 4815767 FSUIPC Control Action: Ctrl=1122, Param=1 4815767 JoystickValues PCnum=0, dwCount=1, data[2]={00000065 00000040} 4816266 Button changed: bRef=0, Joy=101, Btn=6, Released 4816266 JoystickValues PCnum=0, dwCount=1, data[2]={00000065 00000000} 4817576 Button changed: bRef=0, Joy=101, Btn=6, Pressed 4817576 [buttons] 27=P101,6,C1122,1 4817576 FSUIPC Control Action: Ctrl=1122, Param=1 4817576 JoystickValues PCnum=0, dwCount=1, data[2]={00000065 00000040} 4818076 Button changed: bRef=0, Joy=101, Btn=6, Released When I also monitored the specific offset 7B93 there was no change seen from x0 during the test. Not sure if that's relevant or not. Do let me know if you need more/different logging data. Thanks again, Graham.
  5. Hi Pete, Ok I've done some logging. Is there a way to get that to you or do I just cut and paste it in here? Graham.

    Pete, You three must be quite a team with your combined knowledge and expertise ! It's a pity they (PFC) don't build them any more, I would be sorely tempted :mrgreen: As it is, I may have to have a look at their yoke offerings and invest a bit more on this sim. I think Ray is right - another meet, and a few more touch n goes on camera...take 2 :razz: I think that what we did in Luton, 3 approaches a piece from 13 miles out..All filmed on VHS :???: ...we did the same in Yorkshire years later ... not sure where that was now, but somewhere near York itself. Graham.
  7. Hi Pete, The P8 key used for the ident is set in FSUIPC to use the "Xpndr Ident (SB4)" option in FSUIPC - so I was hoping you could advise if that sets x7B93? I have tried setting the offset directly in FSUIPC but with no luck i.e. P101=Cx01007B93, X01. As you say it's either not being set or I'm checking for the wrong value.... All I can find is the SB offset list that Joel published years ago seems to suggest 1? Quote extract: from http://squawkbox.ca/doc/sdk/fsuipc.php 0x7b93 1 Transponder Ident pressed. When the user presses the ident button on your transponder gauge, you should set this value to 1. When SquawkBox notices it is set to 1, it will transmit an ident on the network and reset the value to 0. Will run some checks with logging too. Thanks, Graham.

    Pete's Cockpit

    I have just watched the video for the first time last night. What can I say Pete, other than "Fantastic!". You are clearly a very clever engineer of both software and hardware. It looks as comprehensive a set-up as the real 737 sim I flew in may years ago at Luton with Britannia on their 737 sim....analogue instruments back then and a black and white display of the world - very basic. How things advance! I'm interested in your comment that you managed to tweak the 737-8 model to make it more realsitic. Presumably you manged to obtain some real world specification / data of the flight model and apply it FSX ? Very clever indeed. Are those Engravity CDUs you are using Pete? Ray - If you thought that wasn't a good landing, you should see some of mine - looks like you all had a great time! Regards, Graham.
  9. Hi Pete, Thanks for your reply. The bit that doesn't work is the GFdisplay" bit" for the Ident, by which i mean the LED L6 on my Goflight P8 won't light and the GF45 display won't flash "IDNT" when it is pressed. Everything else in the GFDisplay.ini works as intended with LEDs lighting up and Mode C and STDY messages working. Lua may be an option if I cannot resolve this in GFDisplay, but I'm so close now, I would like to finish it in GFDisplay if at all possible.... Regards, Graham.
  10. Hi, Having got back into flight simming and using fsx for the first time, I'm trying to programme my Goflight P8 module with the "new" (to me) feature that allows SB4 to work with the transponder and identing, using a goflight P8 switch and a GF45 (transponder). This part, programming the P8 buttons to turn the transponder from standby to Mode C (toggled on a single button) through Fsuipc 4.92 and sb4 works fine. What I then tried to do was highlight the ident on the P8 and GF45 (transponder) to light up the P8 LED and flash an "ident" mesage on the 45. I came up with the following...but it doesn't seem to work and I have basically run out of ideas as to why, so I'm hoping Pete or someone may be able to help. :razz: So my GFdisplay.ini looks like this: [GF Connections] GFDev=DLL found GF45=3 GF166=1 GFP8=1 GFRP48=2 GFMCP=1 [Conditions] 0=X7B93 U8 =1; Ident Active 1=x7B91 U8 =0; Mode C 2=X7B91 U8 =1; Standby [GFP8.0] Needs=E B A L0=x028C U8 =1 ;land lights L1=x0D0C M0008 ;taxi lights L2=x0D0C M0001 ; strobes L3=x0D0C M0002 ; beacon L5=X7B91 U8 =0; Mode C L6=X7B93 U8 =1; Ident Active L7=X0BC8 U8 !0; parking brake [GF45.2] Needs=E B A D0.1=C0 ="IDNT" Ff6on D0.2=C1 !C0 ="Md C" D0.3=C2 ="STBY" Everything seems ok apart from the "Ident" parts..Mode c and standby are working fine on a P8 button that toggles. But the separate ident appears to do nothing - but it does ident according to a VATSIM controller I asked the other day :razz: Thanks in anticipation. Graham.
