Hi

first i want to thank you for your wonderful module sir Pete ;)

i have the last 3.81 version and i want to setup a joystick button for the AI TRAFFIC: when i press the button for the first time the traffic is set to 25%, the second key press give me 50%, the third key press give me 75% and finally the fourth key press give me 100% of ai traffic

can you help sir pete to get this key working?

thanks in advance

There's no easy way to do that. You are really talking about 4 separate buttons. You could do it by using two flags I suppose, with some complicated logic, using parameters edited direct in the INI file, but there is nothing geared to what you want to do. Are you sure you want to venture into such strange fiddles?

Start by programming the button to set your 25% in the FSUIPC options. i.e Control "Traffic Density Set" with parameter 25. Then look in the INI file. In the [buttons] section you'll find a line like

1=P1,1,C1008,25

The number on the left is simply a parameter sequence number. The "P1,1" here says "Press joystick 1, button 1" (yours will be different. 1008 is the internal number of the traffic Density Set control.

Now you need to use two flags to give you 4 alternatives. Flags are nominally associated with buttons, but they don't need to be real buttons you actually have, so I'll choose buttons on joystic 15: buttons 0 and 1.

Make the first parameter conditional on both flags being off:

1=CP(F-15,0)(F-15,1)1,1,C1008,25

The red parts I've inserted make this conditional on those two flags being clear (the '-').

Now, on the same condition we need to set one of those flags in order that the next time though you get a new result:

2=CP(F-15,0)(F-15,1)1,1,C1003,3840

The 1003 control is "set flag" and the parameter 3840 is 256 x 15 (the joy number) + 0 (the button number).

Now the rest follows similarly:

3=CP(F+15,0)(F-15,1)1,1,C1008,50 ;Flag 0=ON, Flag 1= OFF, set 50%

4=CP(F+15,0)(F-15,1)1,1,C1003,3841 ; and set Flag 1 ON

5=CP(F+15,0)(F+15,1)1,1,C1008,75 ;Flag 0=ON, Flag 1= ON, set 75%

6=CP(F+15,0)(F+15,1)1,1,C1004,3840 ; and set Flag 0 OFF

7=CP(F-15,0)(F+15,1)1,1,C1008,100 ;Flag 0=OFF, Flag 1= ON, set 100%

8=CP(F-15,0)(F+15,1)1,1,C1004,3841 ; and set Flag 1 OFF

After steps 7 and 8 it's all back to the start again, for 25% next press.
