Offsets

[alaxus]

Hi Pete,

Fs ver 9.00.030612.02

FSUIPC Ver 3.81

FDS sys3 with Interface IT 2.1.0.647

Can you tell me if its possible change the state of one offset based on the condition of another in FSUIPC?

In this case I have master battery (offset 281C) and the Landing gear indicator lights (offsets 0BEC 0BF0 0BF4). Which are interfaced with the sys 3 card using LEDS. The problem is when the master battery is switched off the Landing gear indicator lights switch off in FS but not the leds in the sys3. Seems FS has its own internal logic to control this.

Seeing that InterfaceIT dosent have any thing in the way of logic control (not that I could find) , I was hoping that FSUIPC could somehow provide some sort of simple logic function.

If not, no problem, I can find another solution.

Thanks

ps. some history on this in a FDS thread: http://www.flightdecksolutions.com/foru3593#23593

with a program, yes, of course.

You need really to wire your indicators to all switch off when there's no power. Use a double pole battery switch perhaps?

The offsets 0BEC/0BF0/0BF4 are controlled from FS values. Even if you could override them they'd reset back to whatever FS set them to. They aren't really "LED" indficators, but "Gear Position" indicators, varying from full up to full down as the gear moves.

Cockpit programming USES FSUIPC facilities, but FSUIPC is not specifically for programming cockpits, only for reading and writing FS data. The drivers for hardware add-ons normally contain whatever logic they need.

Thanks for the reply Pete, I didnt think FSUIPC would have the feature and nor would I expect it to. That being said, if you dont ask you will never know.

I do have a physical hardware solution in mind, so its no big deal.

Thanks again for your timely response.
