Capturing PFC.DLL yoke button presses in FSUIPC?

[dfournie]

Pete,

Is there a memory offset location in FSUIPC that would allow a programmer to read yoke button/rocker switch presses (events) on a PFC Cirrus Beech yoke? For example: a press of the right rear-mounted button on the Beech yoke would set off an external event (or run a program), etc.

No, no offset you can access. But you could program the button (in FSUIPC's button page) to set one of the "virtual button" flags in offsets 3340 -- which you can read yourself.

Or, for a more extensive implementation you could obtain some private offsets for yourself and set bits or values in those.

The FSUIPC controls which write to FSUIPC offsets are availble for any Key or Button assignments. Look for "Offset ..." controls. There are 12 of them, for setting values, setting bits, clearing bits and toggling bits on 1-byte, 2-byte and 4-byte locations.
