pgom01 Posted January 24, 2009 Report Share Posted January 24, 2009 Hi Pete, I am trying to make a radio panel using FSUIPC with SIOC and with tipical behavior of frequency management (select new freq on standby and then swap) I am able to change the frequency using offsets 311A, 311C, 311E and 3120 and also do swap them with offset 3123. My problem is, although they change when swapping (by the behavior of radio nav and looking in log of FSUIPC) the only change in the radio stack displays of MSFS2004 is the com1 active. All the others stays with previous frequency. There is any offset to make it refresh the others, any configuration, any trick? Many thanks Paulo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My problem is, although they change when swapping (by the behavior of radio nav and looking in log of FSUIPC) the only change in the radio stack displays of MSFS2004 is the com1 active. All the others stays with previous frequency. Really? Are you saying that the radios are actively using the new frequencies, yet the (default?) FS gauges aren't updating to show them? If so that really sounds like a problem in the panel or the FS installation. The radio gauge most certainly gets its values from the same place as the part which detects reception. In older versions of FS, after changing the frequencies, you had to write values to one of the offsets 0388, 0389 or 038A -- but that was to make it re-scan the database to locate the radio transmitters, not to update the gauges. The latter are supposed to get updates automatically, at the frame rate or better. There is any offset to make it refresh the others, any configuration, any trick? No. How are you actually determining that the new frequencies are actually being used? It sounds to me that you are not actually sending the Swap commands. Can you log the IPC writes to check what you are doing? I've just tried all 4 standby radio offsets here, and swapped them all both individually AND together via 3123. I am using FSInterrogate2, and the default FS9 737, with the radio stack showing. Even writing all 5 offsets together, setting and swapping en bulk works fine. Please also ALWAYS state the version number of FSUIPC when asking questions about it. If you are not using at least 3.85, please update. You may want to also check the version I am using, available in the Updates announcement above. Regards Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pgom01 Posted January 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 Hi Pete, As you suggest i pointed in the direction of FS2004 configuration problem and found that the problem only occurred with one add-on aircraft that as the radios in the main panel (Seneca II). Unfortunately this was my default aircraft.... With all the others i tried it works ok so will use them instead. I wrongly reported the problem as a swap one but in fact it occurs also when changing any radio frequency other than active com1. How are you actually determining that the new frequencies are actually being used? It sounds to me that you are not actually sending the Swap commands. Can you log the IPC writes to check what you are doing? For this i located the aircraft in a position covered by 2 vor and checked the correct radial indication. Anyhow i send the log of a small experience in the end Nav1 as 112.5 active and 112.10 on standby while in both aircraft panel and radio stack displays 110.10 active and 114.30 on standby Many thanks for the help you provided Paulo ********* FSUIPC, Version 3.85 by Pete Dowson ********* Running inside FS2004(original release) User Name="Paulo Gomes" User Addr="csayg@mail.pt" FSUIPC Key is provided WIDEFS not user registered, or expired [Continuation log requested by user] Module base=61000000 ClassOptions: UIPCMAIN=FF7F, FS98MAIN=FF7F, FS2KMAIN=FF5E WeatherOptions(Orig)=4000B627[4000B627] InitDelay: 0 seconds WeatherReadInterval=4 LogOptions=00000005 8201373 System time = 13:11:20, FS2004 time = 23:52:46 (21:52Z) 8201373 LogOptions changed, now 00000005 (LogExtras=0) 8214071 WRITE0 311E, 2 bytes: 15 09 8214372 WRITE0 311E, 2 bytes: 17 09 8214803 WRITE0 311E, 2 bytes: 20 09 8215183 WRITE0 311E, 2 bytes: 22 09 8215343 WRITE0 311E, 2 bytes: 25 09 8215423 WRITE0 0BE8, 4 bytes: 00 00 00 00 **** there were many line like this that i removed 8215423 WRITE0 311E, 2 bytes: 27 09 8216305 WRITE0 311E, 2 bytes: 30 09 8216375 WRITE0 311E, 2 bytes: 32 09 8218938 WRITE0 311E, 2 bytes: 32 08 8219099 WRITE0 311E, 2 bytes: 32 17 8219249 WRITE0 311E, 2 bytes: 32 15 8219489 WRITE0 311E, 2 bytes: 32 14 8219559 WRITE0 311E, 2 bytes: 32 13 8221142 WRITE0 3123, 1 bytes: 02 8221282 WRITE0 3123, 1 bytes: 00 8223876 WRITE0 311E, 2 bytes: 30 13 8224086 WRITE0 311E, 2 bytes: 27 13 8224386 WRITE0 311E, 2 bytes: 20 13 8224466 WRITE0 311E, 2 bytes: 17 13 8224617 WRITE0 311E, 2 bytes: 15 13 8225848 WRITE0 311E, 2 bytes: 12 13 8225999 WRITE0 311E, 2 bytes: 10 13 8227090 WRITE0 311E, 2 bytes: 10 14 8227311 WRITE0 311E, 2 bytes: 10 15 8227381 WRITE0 311E, 2 bytes: 10 17 8227461 WRITE0 311E, 2 bytes: 10 08 8227681 WRITE0 311E, 2 bytes: 10 11 8227821 WRITE0 311E, 2 bytes: 10 12 8229624 WRITE0 3123, 1 bytes: 02 8229764 WRITE0 3123, 1 bytes: 00 8247259 WRITE0 311E, 2 bytes: 10 11 8247830 WRITE0 311E, 2 bytes: 10 10 8248421 WRITE0 311E, 2 bytes: 10 09 8249352 WRITE0 311E, 2 bytes: 10 08 8249963 WRITE0 311E, 2 bytes: 10 17 8250173 WRITE0 311E, 2 bytes: 10 16 8250985 WRITE0 311E, 2 bytes: 10 15 8251055 WRITE0 311E, 2 bytes: 10 14 8252126 WRITE0 311E, 2 bytes: 10 13 8252717 WRITE0 311E, 2 bytes: 10 12 8254640 WRITE0 311E, 2 bytes: 07 12 8255010 WRITE0 311E, 2 bytes: 05 12 8255791 WRITE0 311E, 2 bytes: 02 12 8255932 WRITE0 311E, 2 bytes: 00 12 8256142 WRITE0 311E, 2 bytes: 97 12 8256833 WRITE0 311E, 2 bytes: 95 12 8256903 WRITE0 311E, 2 bytes: 92 12 8257514 WRITE0 311E, 2 bytes: 90 12 8257734 WRITE0 311E, 2 bytes: 87 12 8258235 WRITE0 311E, 2 bytes: 85 12 8258525 WRITE0 311E, 2 bytes: 82 12 8258876 WRITE0 311E, 2 bytes: 80 12 8261450 WRITE0 311E, 2 bytes: 65 12 8262050 WRITE0 311E, 2 bytes: 62 12 8262331 WRITE0 311E, 2 bytes: 60 12 8262641 WRITE0 311E, 2 bytes: 57 12 8262862 WRITE0 311E, 2 bytes: 55 12 8263643 WRITE0 311E, 2 bytes: 52 12 8264594 WRITE0 311E, 2 bytes: 50 12 8266236 WRITE0 3123, 1 bytes: 02 8266387 WRITE0 3123, 1 bytes: 00 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or else I think you should report it to the authors. Regards Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
