Parking Brakes - controlled by a switch

[lighthouse]

Hi,

I would like to use an on/off-switch to control the parking brakes.

Whenever the switch is on, PB are on.

Whenever the switch is off, PB are off.

I am using a registered version of FSUIPC. Is the a suitable configuration?

Thx in advance for your assistance

The only easy way is to use the FS PARKING BRAKE control (see drop down list in FSUIPC's Buttons page). It is a toggle, so first you'd need to synchronize your toggle switch with the FS PB setting. Then you'd assign the Parking Brake control to both "press" and "release" -- the "press" means "off to on" and the release meanse "on to off".

If you wanted it to always synchronize, it is more complex because there is no FS control for Parking Brake on and a separate one for off. You need to program the switch to send values to the parking brake offset. This is a word at xBC8. Write 0 to it for off, 32767 (x7FFF) for on. Use the Offset Word Set control in the dropdown.

Regards,

Pete

Hello Guys,

 

Did you use the FS parking break or the Offset Word Set? I'm trying to have parking break syncronised, but not sure what is the format I have to use in FSUIPC to add an Offset Word Set

 

Thanks,
Ben

Sorry i don't get the answer, maybe with new software release it is different

What do i need to fill into the "mask value with" and what in the "value" field by on-press and by on-release?

What software are you using which has a "mask value with" field? I don't recognise the picture you included, it isn't from my software. Are you in the wrong Forum?
