Delphi Posted February 3, 2008 Report Posted February 3, 2008 Hi folks, need you help to complete pushback function: I'am using the offset 31F4 to contol pushback by some pushbuttons. 1 = left 2 = right 3 = off Those values are working fine. The value '0' should pushback straight. Unfortunately the aircraft does not move back. No movement at all. Does someone has soveld this already? Best regards Ruediger
Pete Dowson Posted February 3, 2008 Report Posted February 3, 2008 I'am using the offset 31F4 to contol pushback by some pushbuttons. The value '0' should pushback straight. Unfortunately the aircraft does not move back. No movement at all. Does someone has soveld this already? You need to tell me the version of FS, and also of FSUIPC. Then I can investigate. Such information is always needed. There is a lot of difference, version to version. Assuming you mean FSX, then I notice from the Offset Status documentation that so far no one has confirmed whether or not this offset is working. If you do really mean FSX, then I can at least mark down that values 1, 2 and 3 work, your report being the first for this offset. I'll just try 0 now ... ... It works okay here. That's with FSUIPC 4.232 (the latest from the FSX Downloads Announcement above), and FSX + SP1 + SP2. I can't really do much more for you until you give me more information, please. Regards Pete
Andydigital Posted February 3, 2008 Report Posted February 3, 2008 Yeah i've just tried it too on FSX with Acceleration and 4.233 all parameters function correctly. You are entering them as x31f4 param x00, x31f4 param x01, x31f4 param x02, etc aren't you?
Delphi Posted February 3, 2008 Author Report Posted February 3, 2008 Hi Pete, sorry that I did not mention the versions in my previous post. FSUIPC 3.75 FS2004 with installed service pack Best regards Ruediger
Pete Dowson Posted February 3, 2008 Report Posted February 3, 2008 FSUIPC 3.75 FS2004 with installed service pack Odd, it's always worked in FS2004 and before. I'll try here with the latest ... ... It is certainly okay with 3.783, from the Other Downloads announcement above. One thing I just noticed though. If you read it first it contains 0. In other words it isn't a STATUS indicator, that's 31F0. If your software only sends something if it is different to what you are reading (for instance like pmSystems) then you'll need to write 3 first, then 0. But writing 0 does work, even when it is 0. I might fix it so it reflects the status too, though that shouldn't be necessary. Regards Pete
Delphi Posted February 6, 2008 Author Report Posted February 6, 2008 Hi Pete,thanks for your investigations on the problem I have with the pusback function. I will check it again and will let you know the result. Regards Ruediger
Delphi Posted February 17, 2008 Author Report Posted February 17, 2008 Problem solved, It was a SIOC issue. Thanks for your replies to my posting. Best Regards Ruediger
Combat99 Posted February 17, 2008 Report Posted February 17, 2008 Two questions.. 1. If I build a mission and use FSUIPC can I create a situation where the popup menu reads, Click to request Pushback.. and then by clicking the user gets the function that normally comes with SHF P? 2. I assume this requires a licence arrangement and cost for the developer more than my purchasing a copy of FSUIPC? If so, what is that cost? thanks!
Pete Dowson Posted February 17, 2008 Report Posted February 17, 2008 1. If I build a mission and use FSUIPC can I create a situation where the popup menu reads, Click to request Pushback.. and then by clicking the user gets the function that normally comes with SHF P? Sorry, I really don't know anything about missions. I'm not sure how this has to do with FSUIPC? The function which "comes with Shift P" is the FS control, or 'Key Event', normally assigned to it -- "Toggle Pushback". If FS events are available to Missions I'm sure you'll be able to figure out a way. Regards Pete
Combat99 Posted February 17, 2008 Report Posted February 17, 2008 Currently there is no way to activate a keypress with mission scripting. So I guess the question would be.. Can FSUIPC allow me to create a hot zone within a popup menu? My goal is this series of events.. 1. use mission scripting to popup a menu box 2. allow the user to click in the menu box to activate a keypress.. :)
Pete Dowson Posted February 17, 2008 Report Posted February 17, 2008 Currently there is no way to activate a keypress with mission scripting. You don't really want to use a keypress. As I thought I explained, all keypresses do is activate FS events, and they can be re-assigned by the user in any case. Surely missions can send events? Else what use are they? Can FSUIPC allow me to create a hot zone within a popup menu? No. There is absolutely nothing in FSUIPC related to mice or popups. I would have no idea how to even begin. Pete
