mtjoeng Posted February 19, 2009 Report Posted February 19, 2009 hi PMDG MD-11 has a 'define a keyboard command', 'Set Take Off Stab Trim', and I've set this to CTRL-TAB-T it sets the Trim to the calculation from the FMC so is there any way (?) to make this to a FS control in the dropdown list? I've added LogEvents=Yes LogButtonsKeys=Yes LogWrites=Yes LogReads=Yes to my INI loaded a routine test flight, pushed CTRL-TAB-T and the end of the log grew to this: 123023 *** EVENT: Cntrl= 65709 (0x000100ad), Param= 71056 (0x00011590) NAV2_RADIO_SET 126049 *** EVENT: Cntrl= 65709 (0x000100ad), Param= 67648 (0x00010840) NAV2_RADIO_SET 129091 *** EVENT: Cntrl= 65709 (0x000100ad), Param= 71056 (0x00011590) NAV2_RADIO_SET 131400 KEYDOWN: VK=17, Waiting=0, Repeat=N, Shifts=2 131400 ..

Pete Dowson Posted February 19, 2009 Report Posted February 19, 2009 PMDG MD-11 has a 'define a keyboard command', 'Set Take Off Stab Trim', and I've set this to CTRL-TAB-T it sets the Trim to the calculation from the FMC Interesting. so is there any way (?) to make this to a FS control in the dropdown list? Why would you want to? You can assign keystrokes to buttons and switches, asnd you just confirmed that you can operate it by a keypress combination. I've addedLogEvents=Yes LogButtonsKeys=Yes LogWrites=Yes LogReads=Yes to my INI Why? I don't think any of those would be relevant to setting an analogue value like the trim. If there is anything sent to FS via the normal systems by the MD-11 code it would be using an Axis control -- you logged everything except axes? Only axis controls can set analogue axis values, unless the value is written direct to FS's internals, perhaps via FSUIPC or perhaps not. Regards Pete

You can assign keystrokes to buttons and switches, asnd you just confirmed that you can operate it by a keypress combination. I have my Trim up and down with an axis, but it takes quite long, and I figured I wanted to try a center position to set FMC Trim (and I'm running out of buttons :x ) added LogAxes=Yes unfortunately, log stated allmost the same, when CTRL-TAB-T is pushed: 594129 KEYDOWN: VK=17, Waiting=0, Repeat=N, Shifts=2 594129 ..

Pete Dowson Posted February 19, 2009 Report Posted February 19, 2009 so is there any way (?) to make this to a FS control in the dropdown list? Why would you want to? You can assign keystrokes to buttons and switches, asnd you just confirmed that you can operate it by a keypress combination. I have my Trim up and down with an axis, but it takes quite long, and I figured I wanted to try a center position to set FMC Trim (and I'm running out of buttons :x ) Two points there: 1. You can calibrate your trim axis to give you a faster result -- just don't use so much of it. Calibrate it for less movement from full down to full up. You can also use the slope facility to give you the needed sensitivity near level trimming but with fast movements from further afield. 2. You can also assign the FSUIPC control to press and release a keystroke, if you are thinking of getting the Axis assignment tab to send it using the zone facilities on the right-hand side. The last example of axis assignments in the FSUIPC user guide features such controls. I'm really puzzled by what it is extra to all these facilities you need, and by why you keep trying to find something by logging. If an add-on changes things directly in FS without using FSUIPC or any standard FS controls then there's no way FSUIPC logging wil do anything for you. Even if it did, what do you hope to gain? Please tell me why you cannot use the facilities available to send the keystroke you already have. Regards Pete
