  1. Good afternoon.

     

    I’m a FSUIPC user form 2004. I have a home made cockpit made with Iocards and SIOC language. I connect SIOC with FSUIPC7 for FS2020 on Windows 10. I also have a panel made with AirManager connected to FS2020, For same of the switches I couldn’t find a FS2020 variable, so I use any unused variable to connect the switch with AirManager.

     

    For instance, in a pressurization panel, for some switches I don’t find the FS2020 variable. So I see that the variable “GPS APPROACH APPROACH INDEX” that is not in use, I use it for that purpose even if it is no related. I assing an offset in myOffsets.txt, like

     

    0x66C0, 4, GPS APPROACH APPROACH INDEX, I64, Number, w

     

    Then in AirManager I read that variable and move the switch in the AirManager panel.

    It worked great until recently. Now, the first time I load FS2020 I get this error in the FSUIPC.log file and the variable doen’t work.

    22766 Exception 3 "UNRECOGNIZED_ID", Ref 19651, Index param 2 on write SetData for "GPS APPROACH WP COUNT"

     

    If I just exit FSUIPC and load it again then it works.

     

    1. Any idea of how to fix this?

    2. Is there any available or custom variables in FS2020 that I can use for this purpose?

     

    Thank you very much

  2. I just connected a Garmin GPSMAP 496 to fs2004. I'll post the settings, just in case someone needs it.

    Thank you, Pete for gpsout. It works great.

    First of all, you will have to buy the optional cable:

    Part Number: 010-10514-00

    Description: PC interface cable (RS232 serial port connector) for Garmin 496

    The 496 comes with a USB cable, but I could not make it work. I think the GPS does not send the nmea data over the usb cable, only over the RS232 cable.

    In gpsout.ini the settings are:

    [GPSout]

    Sentences=AV400

    Interval=1500

    Port=COM1 (or COM2 or whatever)

    Speed=9600

    In the garmin go to "main menu" then "Set up" and then to the "interface" tab. For "Serial data format" select "Aviation in"

    Don't forget to put the GPS in "simulation mode" in the "system mode"

    Regards,

    Alvaro

  3. I hope someone can help me with this one. I would like to open and close panels (windows in panel.cfg) from an external program (SIOC). What are the offsets to open, for instance panel #2 (or better panel with ID 70) ?

    And also, what are the offsets where I can see if a panel (by number or by ID) is visible at a certain time?

    Thank you very much for you help. I have not found this in the documentation. Sorry if it is somewhere.

    Alvaro
