project magenta RJ + FSUIPC+WIDEFS

[seb]

hi

i'm trying to control PMRJ with GOFLIGHT MODULE VIA WIDEFS.

i want to display ndb,vor,arpt etc... and to change ND range with PM control by param in the buttons page of FSUIPC.

(EX: display ARPT is "4" key).

i try every solutions with keysend, PM codes etc... but impossible and this functions are not available directly via PM fonctions in case "control button when pressed" of FSUIPC.

please could you inform me how to control PMRJ via WIDEFS.

best regards. SEB

Are you seeing the Goflight buttons in FSUIPC's "Buttons" option page? If not then check what versions of WideFS and FSUIPC you are using, and that you have installed the GoFlight driver on the WideClient PC.

i want to display ndb,vor,arpt etc... and to change ND range with PM control by param in the buttons page of FSUIPC.

There are all sorts of ways of doing this for Boeing amd airbus cockpits, but I don't know if they are applicable to PM's RJ also. This is a question for the PM support team, I think. You could try the PM Newsgroup -- there's a lot of experienced folks there.

(EX: display ARPT is "4" key).

Not sure what you mean by that -- the PM controls through FSUIPC won't normally be by a key press. You need to clarify all this with PM please.

Sorry, I don't really understand this statement. Pretty much everything that can be done with PM modules can be done through its FSUIPC interface. Those commands which are not explicitly listed in FSUIPC's drop-down are available through the assorted controls by parameter functions I added.

please could you inform me how to control PMRJ via WIDEFS.

It isn't WideFS which controls anything. You program the buttons in FSUIPC. The first step is to find out why you don't see the GoFlight buttons in FSUIPC. After you get that working (and it can only be a matter of wrong versions or missing GoFlight driver), then you assign the appropriate PM controls in FSUIPC's drop-down list. Which those are for the RJ cockpit I'm not sure. I would think they share the Boeng/Airbus controls for those which they have in common, but this is something to check with PM.

i'm using last and registred versions modules (fsuipc, widefs, pmrj and goflight) and fsuipc find goflight buttons.

for infos, my connections are right because when i'm using pre-command in fsuipc (ex: PM elec on or off), i obtain good result, but when i enter PM fonction in parameter, no result.

i sent mess to project magenta for more infos.

if you think about something please contact me and if i find solutions, i will send them on forum.

best regards seb

"Last" doesn't mean anything I'm afraid. the "last" versions some folks have seen and downloaded are very old indeed. Please always quote version numbers.

Hang on, let's not go too fastso, you DO see the GoFlight buttons in FSUIPC? Therefore all this stuff about WideFs, KeySends and so on is irrelevant, right?

Which "PM function by parameter" are you trying to use, please? Did you try any of the ND-specific controls, the ones to operate the displays and ranges and so on? Please be specific, because some things in some builds of PM modules work and some don't. Some things don't work with some modules not present, but this again depends on the builds. And whilst I release a new version of FSUIPC monthly, if I can, Enrico releases new builds several times a week, sometimes.

I'm sure this can be sorted out, but it needs explicit details and probably some help from PM.

i sent mess to project magenta for more infos.

Okay, that's a good idea, but you will probably be asked to be more explicit there too. Things can be investigated but details are always needed.

One thing I thought ofthere's a bug in some recent FSUIPC releases which prevent the PM "by parameter" controls from working. This has been fixed and I am releasing Version 3.22, probably Friday.

I still don't know either what version of FSUIPC you are using, nor which specific PM controls you are trying to use, so I cannot be more specific, but perhaps you can try again when you get version 3.22?

Please always give version numbers and precise control names and parameter values in future. It would certainly make supporting you faster and more rewarding!
