Toe brake - auto decay

[jjjanezic]

Hi Pete,

Hope you are doin' fine.

One question, please: in C00 and C01 there is a byte (with values between 0 and 200) that activates the differential bakes in FS.

As you described in the FSUIPC for Programmers, there is an automatic decay.

Is this a function coming from FSUIPC or is this made by the FS itself?

Do you have any idea, how to avoid this auto decay, without sending permanent commands to the offsets?

Thank you,

Joachim

It is a function of FSUIPC. It emulates exactly the way those locations worked in FS98 (and, in fact, how the keypresses (F11, F12) work). The whole point of FSUIPC was originally to provide FS98 compatibility in FS2000. Those locations are still emulated for backward compatibility.

Do you have any idea, how to avoid this auto decay, without sending permanent commands to the offsets?

Yes, of course. Just set the brakes directly. The brakes are operated at offsets 0BC4 and 0BC6.

Thanks Pete,

the description of 0BC4 and 0BC6 caused me to use the other 2 offsets, because "read-out" seemed to me just to be an indication and not an offset, to set values.

Thanks for your fast answering.

But didn't the wording "you can apply a fixed brake pressure here, or else use the byte at 0C01 to apply brakes emulating the keypress" suggest otherwise? It is explicit in saying that 0C01 (for example, here) is an alternative to this, after all.

Hello Pete,

we (the whole a320flightdeck-group) wish you a happy 2005.

I've tried the other two offsets and now it works.

You are right, together with the other text, it is possible to check out, the difference between the two offset-groups, but for a non-english-native the wording "read-out" is a little bit confusing.

Anyway everything works perfectly now.
