Event Logging Help


Recommended Posts

Hello Pete,

I have a problem with Event Logging. Button/Key, Events and Console are in view. Events show a constant stream of 66507 - Panel_ID_Open and 66508 - Panel_ID_Close. I know something is triggering this constant Open - Close. Exactly what is Panel_ID Open and Close.

Thanks.

That is not a "problem with Event Logging", that is a problem with something sending all those presumably unwanted events. There's no problem with event logging -- you just turn it off if you don't want it!!

I know something is triggering this constant Open - Close.

Of course something is doing it --- you need to find out what it is which is doing it and get rid of it, as it will potentially be interfering with other things and certainly not doing the performance of your FS installation any good!

Exactly what is Panel_ID Open and Close.

The Open one opens (i.e. displays) the panel which has that ID, if there is one, and the Close closes it. The ID is provided in the "parameter" part of the event. There are a number of pre-defined IDs and any number of others added by folks who make FS aircraft panels. They are defined in the PANEL.CFG file.

Regards

Pete

Ok. It appears to be an issue with the F1 Cessna Mustang. If I load a default FSX aircraft such as the C172, I the Event log file does not show the stream of Open and Closes. As soon as I load the Mustang, the Open-Close stream begins.

Is it possible to assign a key, button, or axis to this event? In other words, can I be causing it with a keyboard or joystick assignment? If not, I read you that there is something within the Mustang panel code that is causing this.

Sounds like something on of their Gauges is doing, then.

Is it possible to assign a key, button, or axis to this event? In other words, can I be causing it with a keyboard or joystick assignment?

Only if that key or button or whatever is stuck and continually signalling -- and then, if it only occurs with that one aircraft, you must have done is as "aircraft specific" or "profile specific" so it isn't programmed with anything else. Just look at the assorted [Keys] and [buttons] sections in your FSUIPC INI file -- or temporarily remove that file from the Modules folder before running FS, as a simple way of eliminating such a possibility

If not, I read you that there is something within the Mustang panel code that is causing this.

That seems a lot more likely, yes.

On your log it looks even less likely to be anything you've assigned:

632989 *** EVENT: Cntrl= 66507 (0x000103cb), Param= 231 (0x000000e7) PANEL_ID_OPEN

632989 *** EVENT: Cntrl= 66508 (0x000103cc), Param= 240 (0x000000f0) PANEL_ID_CLOSE

632989 *** EVENT: Cntrl= 66508 (0x000103cc), Param= 250 (0x000000fa) PANEL_ID_CLOSE

632989 *** EVENT: Cntrl= 66508 (0x000103cc), Param= 260 (0x00000104) PANEL_ID_CLOSE

There's a repeating sequence of 4 different events there -- on 4 different Panels!

Isn't there a Support forum for the aircraft. Maybe they can explain what they are trying to do with these events?

Incidentally, there's a list of FS pre-defined PANEL ID names against numbers in this thread:
