Radios


Recommended Posts

Hi Peter

I have a registered copy of fsuicp, i am attemping to build a 737 flight deck all has gone very well with the use of your superb software the only problem at the moment is tuning the NAV/COMMS radios,I am using rotary axis 100k pots to achieve this and am using 1 per radio all works fine except i an unable to tune the last 50khz eg if i require frequency 113.65mhz i am unable to tune the last 50khz.

I have gone into the misc setting and enabled 50khz but this has made no difference am i trying to achieve to much with just using the 1 100khz.

Kind Regards

Paul

Can you tune them correctly in FS using mouse or keyboard? If so, then it's the same through FSUIPC.

Unfortunately I can't really help further as I have no idea how you are connecting these pots (what are they doing, what do they look like to FSUIPC? Buttons, keys, axes, hats or what? How are you programming them? Have you written a program to measure their resistance and then write to FSUIPC offsets, or what?

Please tell me a little more and maybe I can help. Also, please always state basis things such as FSUIPC version and FS version (FS98, FSX, ...?).

Regards

Pete

Hi Peter sorry for the lack of imformation in my previous message

I am using fs 2004 and fsuicp V3.65 using the Precision Joystick Controller BU08368 analog 8 axes 32 buttons hat switch, i use analog axes to control the radios and the progaming is achieved through fsuicp using the axies window the resistance for the potentiometers are 100khz lin.

Kind Regards

FSUIPC 3.65 is a long time out of date and unsupported. Please use 3.75. I cannot undertake to support old versions.

Yes, sorry, but this tells me nothing useful. I don't need to know about the actual hardware, I need to know how you are trying to control the radio frequencies. How are you doing that using axes? I've never heard of that being done before and I have no idea what you are doing!? After all, the radio frequencies are discrete values, but analogue axes are continuously variable. Maybe the reason you can't get to 50kHz increments is that your pots don't have fine enough resolution?

Regards

Pete
