fs 2004.cfg

[amarante68]

Hi

It is for a long time I didnt come here.

I just start to use fs 2004 instead 2002.

I use Epic card buttons to control the whole thing.

I usualy use the f2002.cfg where I put things like

BUTTON_DOWN_EVENT_02=ELEV_TRIM_DN

BUTTON_DOWN_REPEAT_02=1

BUTTON_DOWN_EVENT_03=ELEV_TRIM_UP

BUTTON_DOWN_REPEAT_03=1

But now I dont find where to use control tockens with fs 2004.

I tried in fs 2002.cfg and device.cfg .

Still nothing.

Why edit the CFG file directly? Just assign the buttons in the FS dialogues -- Options-Controls-Assignments. You can of course try doing it in the FS9.CFG file, but it is harder work.

The FS9.CFG file is in your Documents & Settings folder, under your user name, Applications Data-Microsoft-FS9.

Thanks Again !

Working!

I am not a newbie with Fs and Epic. But still I realy wonder how you deal with such issue.

Well for me it is an issue.

Why fs9.cfg is now so far?

How should we find things like this?

Because of switches EPL programming matter.

Assignments allowes switches toggle action only.

Often I need ON/OFF action:ANTI_ICE_OFF

ANTI_ICE_ON For instance.

Also my fuel selector needs it.

It was an issue with swithes such as TOGGLE_BEACON_LIGHTS, because you dont have OFF and ON for beacon_light.

For this one for instance I use FSUIPC_WRITE to send 0 or 1 with a on and off switch.

That is even harder.

By the way with newest fsuipc, do we have more than 64 FSUIPC_WRITR/READ ?

You may have an other solution.

It's all to do with Microaoft-wide rules on having multiple user settings -- each user will have his own FS configurations. Even the saved flights go to "My documents".

How should we find things like this?

I recommend Ken Salter's "FS9 Configurator" which will find everything for you. Check Avsim or FlightSim.com.

No, but FSUIPC detects EPIC buttons directly in any case, so you can use FSUIPC button programming to do whatever you want, probably much more flexibly.
