[guenseli]

I have made some little LUA and MACRO files for different aircrafts the last weeks and d'like to share them here.

LUA MD11 Initialisation code

With this codelines assigned to a key or button ar in use with FSUIPC [AUTO] function (read FSUIPC manual for it) you have lowered the yokes, switched off the lights and switched on the framerate-saving overhead switch (PMDG MD-11 introduction.pdf page 54 [chapter 0.00.54]) with one click.

cool, or?

ipc.sleep(2000)
ipc.writeLvar("L:pmdg_hide_yoke", 0)
ipc.writeLvar("L:pmdg_hide_yoke", 1)
ipc.writeLvar("L:HIDE_OVERHEAD_SWITCHES_var", 1)
ipc.control(65574)	-- all lights on
ipc.control(65574)	-- all lights off

LUA for panelstate

As the MD11 has unfortunately no possiblity to load a defined panelstate, this LUA will help a little.

It uses the method that you can generate keystrokes with LUA. This LUA does nothing else than you will do if you load a panelstate via the FS and PMDG menu.

But it does it much more faster and with just one click.

Look into te LUA file to change the loading of different panelstates.

Note: as the LUA always counts down through the panelstates which are in the PMDG menu you should rename the PMDG panelstates from e.g. "PMDG MD-11 After Engine Start.sav" to "00_PMDG MD-11 After Engine Start.sav" so they are always at top of the list.

The panelstates are found in the folder: X:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\PMDG\MD11\panelstate

-- MD-11 panel status automatic --

ipc.keypressplus(18,1,4)	-- ALT and focus to FS



ipc.keypressplus(65)			-- A for Addons
ipc.sleep(50)
ipc.keypressplus(80)			-- P for PMDG
ipc.sleep(50)
ipc.keypressplus(40)			-- Cursor right for PMDG Menue


ipc.keypressplus(40)		-- Csr Down 7 times to get to panel state
ipc.keypressplus(40)
ipc.keypressplus(40)
ipc.keypressplus(40)
ipc.keypressplus(40)
ipc.keypressplus(40)
ipc.keypressplus(13)			-- Enter


-- below are the Panel States
-- be sure to have the same order in your PMDG/MD11/panelstate folder
-- be sure not to have any previously saved panelstates before this
-- for PAX and Freighter Version maybe you have to create two different files
-- Delete the entries below your prefered panelstate (now its before engine start)

ipc.keypressplus(40)		-- After Engine Start
ipc.keypressplus(40)		-- Before Engine Start
--ipc.keypressplus(40)		-- Cold and Dark
--ipc.keypressplus(40)		-- Long Ground Turn
--ipc.keypressplus(40)		-- Short Ground Turn
--ipc.keypressplus(40)		-- Tutorial
--ipc.keypressplus(40)		-- Freighter C&D
--ipc.keypressplus(40)		-- Freighter Long Ground
--ipc.keypressplus(40)		-- Freighter Short Ground

ipc.sleep(1000)			-- little pause of 1s

ipc.keypressplus(13)	-- ENTER to press OK button

ipc.sleep(100)
ipc.control(65574)	-- all lights on
ipc.sleep(100)
ipc.control(65574)	-- all lights off

FSUIPC4.ini codes for ND Mode change:

insert this line into the keys (or button) section into your FSUIPC4.ini:

110=117,26,x510066C0,x00040001 ;ND Mode inc start

111=B66C0=0 117,26,66587,71132

112=B66C0=1 117,26,66587,71133

113=B66C0=2 117,26,66587,71134

114=B66C0=3 117,26,66587,71135

115=B66C0=4 117,26,66587,71136

116=115,26,x610066C0,x00040001 ;ND Mode dec start

117=B66C0=0 115,26,66587,71132

118=B66C0=1 115,26,66587,71133

119=B66C0=2 115,26,66587,71134

120=B66C0=3 115,26,66587,71135

121=B66C0=4 115,26,66587,71136 ;ND Mode end

don't forget to change your personal keyassignment numbers (red).

If you want them assigned to to joystickbuttons, then change also the green lines and add an "C":

116=PB,1,Cx610066C0,x00040001

[EDITED by Pete: the C has to come before the "x", as the latter is just a number prefix denoting "hexadecimal" instead of "decimal"]

[edited by guenseli: thanks Pete!]

(in this example it is assigned to Joystick B, Button 1)

All files work at my system with latest FSUIPC version.

no guarantee that they will work for you (but they should, I'm sure - tested only at FSX Acceleration)

Do any codings at your own risk and just do things if you know what you do...

Be patient that I could not support any question. Please inform yourself how to handle MACROS and LUA files and the power of FSUIPC.

Have fun!

--- update 16th dezember 2009:

few new macro commands and changes added

[guenseli]

original post updated

[mtjoeng]

I miss the CDU(FMS) buttons

NAVRAD MENU PROG TO/APPR L1 L1 .. R5 R6 etc

I tried myself, but no variables or macro's seem to work

is this correct - CDU cannot be accessed? (but by VRInsight Mouse Screen macro's - I have the VRInsight Combo)

thx mt

[guenseli]

I miss the CDU(FMS) buttons

Could be.

I haven't tried myself because if I assign that one also I run definitely out of buttons.

But feel free to research further...
