Hi Pete, Do you have an idea when this version of FSUIPC will be released on the download page? I'm just planning my code updates to line up with the new version's availability. Thanks, Keith

TESTED: Works like a charm! Thanks Pete Keith

Thanks! I'll be testing this out tonight after work. Keith

Thank you Pete, I appreciate the confirmation that I am not crazy after all! I couldn't understand why I was having issues after reading through the forums for hours trying to figure this out. Once again you have proven your legendary status in the sim community :) Thanks, Keith

Hi Peter, Thanks for the response. I should have mentioned that the reason I am trying to accomplish this is so that a virtual airline acars system can read the taxi light from FSUIPC when the Aerosoft Airbus is used. I created a simpler example and turned on the logging as you suggested: Sim: FSX Steam Edition FSUIPC: 4.949 Aircraft: Default 737-800 Steps: 1) Load Aircraft and turn on all lights except taxi light 2) Run Lua script Result: Taxi light turns on and all other lights turn off Expected Result: Taxi light turns on and all others remain as is Lua Script: ipc.sleep(100) ipc.display("Turning on Taxi Light...") ipc.sleep(2000) ipc.setbitsUW(0x0D0C, 8) ipc.display("Done") ipc.sleep(2000) Lua Debug Log: ********* LUA: "test" Log [from FSUIPC version 4.949] ********* 156203 System time = 13/01/2016 08:16:01, Simulator time = 11:14:15 (16:14Z) 156203 LUA: beginning "D:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\FSX\Modules\test.lua" 160421 LUA: ended "D:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\FSX\Modules\test.lua" 160421 System time = 13/01/2016 08:16:06, Simulator time = 11:14:19 (16:14Z) ********* LUA execution terminated: Log Closed ********* FSUIPC Log: ********* FSUIPC4, Version 4.949 by Pete Dowson ********* fsx.exe version = 10.0.62615.0 Reading options from "D:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\FSX\Modules\FSUIPC4.ini" Running inside FSX Steam Edition on Windows 8.0 Module base=55FF0000 User Name="Keith Lovell" User Addr="keithlovell@metrocast.net" FSUIPC4 Key is provided WideFS7 Key is provided 62 System time = 13/01/2016 08:13:25 62 FLT UNC path = "C:\Users\Keith\Documents\Flight Simulator X Files\" 62 ------ Module Version Check ------ 62 acontain.dll: 10.0.62615.0 62 api.dll: 10.0.62615.0 62 controls.dll: 10.0.62615.0 62 fs-traffic.dll: 10.0.62615.0 62 G3D.dll: 10.0.62615.0 62 sim1.dll: 10.0.62615.0 62 visualfx.dll: 10.0.62615.0 62 weather.dll: 10.0.62615.0 62 window.dll: 10.0.62615.0 62 ---------------------------------- 93 Trying to connect to SimConnect Steam ... 93 FS UNC path = "D:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\FSX\" 390 ---------------------- Joystick Device Scan ----------------------- 390 ------------------------------------------------------------------- 406 LogOptions=00000000 00000001 406 ------------------------------------------------------------------- 406 ------ Setting the hooks and direct calls into the simulator ------ 406 --- CONTROLS timer memory location obtained ok 406 --- SIM1 Frictions access gained 406 --- FS Controls Table located ok 406 --- Installed Mouse Macro hooks ok. 406 --- Wind smoothing fix is fully installed 406 --- All links checked okay 406 ------------------------------------------------------------------- 406 SimConnect_Open succeeded: waiting to check version okay 406 Trying to use SimConnect Steam 4015 Running in "Microsoft Flight Simulator X", Version: 10.0.62615.0 (SimConnect: 10.0.62615.0) 4015 Initialising SimConnect data requests now 4015 FSUIPC Menu entry added 4031 D:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\FSX\flights\other\FLTSIM.FLT 4031 D:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\FSX\SimObjects\Airplanes\Aircreation_582SL\Aircreation_582SL.air 7453 Weather Mode now = Theme 21765 D:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\FSX\SimObjects\Airplanes\B737_800\Boeing737-800.air 59000 Aircraft="Boeing 737-800 Paint1" 59000 System time = 13/01/2016 08:14:24, Simulator time = 11:13:32 (16:13Z) 66078 Starting everything now ... 82781 Advanced Weather Interface Enabled 129703 LogOptions changed, now 80000000 00000001 129718 Monitor IPC:0D0C (U16) = 2 144109 Monitor IPC:0D0C (U16) = 6 144109 SimRead: 0D0C="LIGHT LANDING" INT32: 1 (0x00000001) 148093 Monitor IPC:0D0C (U16) = 262 148093 SimRead: 0D0C="LIGHT LOGO" INT32: 1 (0x00000001) 150093 Monitor IPC:0D0C (U16) = 278 150093 SimRead: 0D0C="LIGHT STROBE" INT32: 1 (0x00000001) 158375 Monitor IPC:0D0C (U16) = 8 <================ This is where the Lua script was run 164937 Sim stopped: average frame rate for last 35 secs = 92.3 fps 168671 System time = 13/01/2016 08:16:14, Simulator time = 11:14:23 (16:14Z) 168671 *** FSUIPC log file being closed Minimum frame rate was 75.8 fps, Maximum was 122.2 fps Minimum available memory recorded was 3015Mb Average frame rate for running time of 51 secs = 99.7 fps Memory managed: 27 Allocs, 27 Freed ********* FSUIPC Log file closed *********** Thank you again for your time.

Hello, I have been reading through the forums on how to toggle the lights in the 0D0C offset. My goal is to use a lua event to appropriately set the taxi light based on the Aerosoft Airbus Lvar. I understand each light is controlled by a separate bit and normally this would be done using AND and OR logic. However, based on what I have been reading in the forums and the Lua Library doc, the setbitsUW and clearbitsUW should work in place of using the AND and OR logic. Unfortunately, in all of my testing it seems to reset all of the other light offsets rather than just operate on the taxi light. I have also tested a one line script using setbitsUW to toggle the taxi light in the default 737 with the same result. Am I using the code below incorrectly? Do I need the AND and OR logic when using the setbitsUW and clearbitsUW -- set the pollrate to 250ms = 4 times per second pollrate = 250 function writeTaxi(varname, value) if value == 1 then ipc.setbitsUW(0x0D0C, 8) else ipc.clearbitsUW(0x0D0C, 8) end end -- create an event listener to monitor the LVAR -- this will call the function above when the LVAR changes -- Aerosoft Airbus Taxi Light event.Lvar("L:AB_TAXI_LT", pollrate, "writeTaxi") Thank You
