TobiBS Posted April 12, 2008 Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 Hi Guys, I bought the Saitek Yoke and as you might know, if you configure it right, you can also use the Modeswitch and the three buttons below the clock to assign functions. And there it goes, I like to assign the buttons to the same function in FS, that means on the Standard Panels, the C172, for example you have a simple watch, with two buttons, one to switch between TIme/Stowatch and one to Start, Stop, Reset the watch. Can I access this functions via FSUIPC, too? Or is there a Clock Gauge out there, which I can assign buttons from FSUIPC to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure they have FS controls assigned to them. You can check easily enough -- enasble Event logging in FSUIPC (Logging tab) and click the ckock buttons. Check the log, see if there's any relevant controls logged. I've a feeling these are local functions to the gauge, with no externally accessible controls. Tomorrow I might check to see if they are amenable to the new facilties I added in FSUIPC for mouserects, but I fear they are non-standard, or XML.

I tried to do this, but it does not seem to leave a trace in the Logfile, only a readout, which is maybe the time, to display. 484594 READ0 7B80, 1 bytes: 00 484594 GetRealAddr(22004391)=6109BF71 (orig 7B91) 484594 READ0 7B91, 1 bytes: 00 484594 GetRealAddr(22004393)=6109BF73 (orig 7B93) 484594 READ0 7B93, 1 bytes: 00 485094 GetRealAddr(22004392)=6109BF72 (orig 7B92) 485094 READ0 7B92, 1 bytes: 00 485094 GetRealAddr(22004380)=6109BF60 (orig 7B80) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check the log, see if there's any relevant controls logged. I tried to do this, but it does not seem to leave a trace in the Logfile In that case there are no FS controls to handle it, and no way to program a button or keypress for it. You'd need to use the mouse (or possibly Luciano Napolitano's "Key2Mouse" program so you can operate the mouse move/click by keypress, then program the keypress on a button). ... only a readout, which is maybe the time, to display. Sorry, but there is no way that "Event" logging, which is what I asked you to enable, logs readouts. It sounds like to enabled the wrong option. Please look in the Logging page, left hand side. There's one radio button only for normal events. The extract you supplied looks like you enabled IPC read logging by mistake for some unknown reason, and had some program or add-on reading a private add-on offset. I've no idea what it is supposed to be, but checking here that offset is assigned to Squawkbox, so i assume you have that installed.

headley Posted April 13, 2008 Report Share Posted April 13, 2008 if you configure it right, you can also use the Modeswitch and the three buttons below the clock to assign functions. Hi Tobi or someone else, Can you explain briefly how to set up the mode-switch to any function ? The three other buttons are no problem. Thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TobiBS Posted April 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 Thank you Tobi, altought i don't understand exactly what to do, sorry ... If the problem is, that you can't see in which mode the switch is, this is the important part: all you have to do is rename the file C:\Windows\System32\SaiD0BAC.pr0 and unplug/plug in the yoke In the other Case, read the Manual about Button Programming for Advanced users, then you might understand what this means: [Buttons] ButtonRepeat=0 0=; YOKE - MODE 1 - AIRCRAFT CMNDS 1=CP(+0,8)0,0,K119,8 ; F8 - TrackIR4_Precision 2=CP(+0,8)0,1,C65580,0 ; AP_MASTER 3=CR(+0,8)0,2,C65607,0 ; ELEV_TRIM_DN 4=CR(+0,8)0,3,C65615,0 ; ELEV_TRIM_UP 5=CP(+0,8)0,4,C66079,0 ; GEAR_UP 6=CP(+0,8)0,5,C66080,0 ; GEAR_DOWN 7=CP(+0,8)0,6,C65759,0 ; FLAPS_DECR 8=CP(+0,8)0,7,C65758,0 ; FLAPS_INC 9=; YOKE - MODE 2 - VIEW CMNDS 10=CP(+0,9)0,0,C66147,0 ; VIEW_RESET The important part here is the (+0,8), which means that this button must be pressed, when you want to have the action to be done.
