Aerosoft AirbusX commands (+throttle) upd 16th, Sept

guenseli · September 3, 2010

update 16th Sept

and another one:

several new commands: TCAS, Battery, "Avionics" etc...

new items since release are marked in the parameter list

updated 15th of Sept

inserted parameters for fast increase and decrease of SPD (36, 37) and HDG (25, 26) (see list of parameters)

(credits to PaulMidd for this idea!)

you have to redownload AS_AirbusX.txt and copy the content into your LUA

updated 14th of September

reason: added Petes throttle plugins

updated 8th of Sept.

reason: added code for throttle detends

------------------------------------------------------

I have written a LUA Script during Betatest because Finn from Aerosoft provided me nicely with the LUA Variables.

You can assign this functions via a registered copy of FSUIPC

Here's a very short tutorial how to "install" LUA files

I copied this tutorial out of one of my stickies in the FSUIPC forum.

The "tutorial" is for the PMDG J41, but thats just a case of naming. Simply change "J41" to "AS_AirbusX" or whatever you like.

To get acces to the single commands you have to do the following:

1) copy the code below

2) insert it into an empty editor or wordpad file and save it as e.g. AS_AirbusX.LUA into the FSX - Modules Folder

3) open FSUIPC menu and choose LUA AirbusX from the drop down

4) insert different parameter numbers depending on the action you want (green field)

(this example picture is for the J41. For the AirbusX you have to name the file of course AS_AirbusX.LUA or whatever. Then the name in the dropdown (red field) will be Lua AS_AirbusX)!

Note: I have to make slight corrections the next days/weeks (depends on my time), e.g. some switch sounds are not fitting. You can already "install" this LUA script, the parameter number will NOT change with a newer version. You simply have to overwrite this one when a new LUA Script will be provided.

All functions are for ON/OFF or toggle switches, whatever fits your hardware.

Please have a close look into FSUIPC manual. Every question regearding LUA or FSUIPC is answered there!!!

Here is a list which function are in this LUA file:

LUA scripts for AirbusX throttle

thanks to Pete we have now the possibility to assign the AirbusX throttles via FSUIPC

I copy Petes "How-To" out of the last one posts:

Try the following two Lua plug-ins:

First this, saved as AirbusX_Thr1.lua:

    ipc.writeLvar("L:AS_FADEC_0", ipcPARAM*-2)

And this, saved as AirbusX_Thr2.lua:

    ipc.writeLvar("L:AS_FADEC_1", ipcPARAM*-2)

Save them in the FSX Modules folder.

Then, in FSUIPC axis assignments, assign Throttle 1 to the so-called 'FS control' Lua AirbusX_Thr1, and similarly Throttle 2 to Lua AirbusX_Thr2. Note that you'll find these listed in the "Send to FS as normal axis" mode, NOT in the "Send direct to FSUIPC" mode. This is a quirk of how macros and plug-ins are recognised.

I have tested this with my Saitek X52 and Saitek throttle quadrant and works perfect.

But of course, other hardware could have problems, maybe.

Even if I don't think so.

Please try it out and feel free to report back!

Thanks again and all credits to Pete Dowson!

I have written a LUA Script during Betatest because Finn from Aerosoft provided me nicely with the LUA Variables.

Thanks for posting it here too. As you can see I've made it "stickie".

Have you found any L:vars for throttle control? It seems this aircraft depends on FSX assignments then goes direct to DirectInput, so defeating any attempt to use FSUIPC throttles, or, worse, throttles which don't connect as DirectX joystick inputs (like PFC, for starters).

Regards

Pete

Enjoy Duxford!!!

KAPTEJNLN · September 4, 2010

hello Pete,

well got back to lau programing but the altitude and heading and the other where you use dial on the goflight the lau comands cause fs to crash, could you tell if you know why you think it could be as it happens if you rotate the knob on the hardware for some time FS stops responding have tryeid to changes some of the lau code and worket better but stil crash.

hope you enjoyed Duxford

Best regards Lars

Pete Dowson · September 5, 2010

well got back to lau programing but the altitude and heading and the other where you use dial on the goflight the lau comands cause fs to crash

Crash? what error report does it provide? There's nothing in Lua that I know of which can cause a crash unless you are running so many copies of a Lua thread that you exhaust the process stack. To do that you'd really have to try hard with some bad programming.

You will need to supply more information if you want me to help you. Show me your Lua program and tell me exactly what you do to provoke the crash. And are you saying it is only with the AirbusX? Maybe it is a bug in the aircraft rather than in Lua?

You can also use logging to get more information. Logging is always the best way to debug your programming.

[LATER]

After a pointer from Guenseli I found this extea information from a post you made in the Aerosoft Forum:

update found that if you errase this line LVarALT = ipc.readLvar("L:AB_AP_ALTSTEP") in parameter 46 and 47 it woult take longer time before it crash in my last test it seems to work nearly default whit out that line also testet whot out the othere line and whit only

LVarALT = ipc.readLvar("L:AB_AP_ALTSTEP") and it crashed after 1 or 2 rotates on the hardware. but how much better in flight it would be is un known but it to more time to get it crash only if i moved the know from sid to side fast it crash so it looks to be a good sign.

Now what this implies to me is that the way the Lua program is instigated (by button repeats from the dial) is causing the Lua program to be Killed and re-Run each time, and the time it takes to do all this longer than the time between each repeat, so causing the number of simultaneous threads to grow until the process stack overflows. This causes a crash or hang, inevitably.

I did take steps in FSUIPC to avoid normal repeats from starting a Lua whilst the same one was still running, but that only applied to regular repeats, as from a button or keypress being held down. The rotaries don't look like repeats because what they do is send on/off pulses alternately.

This sort of problem hasn't arisen before now because:

(a) the pulse rate of rotaries is actually quite low compared to button and key repeat rates, and

(b) most if not all Lua plug-ins used have been very short and fast to load and kill.

The Lua program Guenseli has put together is very long indeed, especially for one which is destined to be loaded and run frequently. Each time it is instigated it is being assigned a thread, and memory, compiled and then executed -- and all those "if " commands it has to go through to find the correct action also makes it worse.

I will look at the Lua section in FSUIPC to see if I can detect the conditions arising in which such a crash can occur, and prevent it from happening. I think I'd have to do this by starting a timer when I kill a thread and not allow the same one to be started again for a number of milliseconds thereafter. I might need to make that adjustable. It will inevitable slow down the maximum rate Lua threads can be restarted.

There might be alternatives, like aborting the thread execution and merely restarting it. This obviously would be more efficient, but I'm not sure I can do that with the Lua interpreter code. I'll take a look.

Meanwhile you can try something yourself. Instead of using the one big script for the rotary programming, extract the part of the Lua code which does what you want, and have separate little Lua plug-ins for each one, assigning them directly instead of via a parameter number. For example, instead of the part:

-- Altitude rate selection slow (100)
if ipcPARAM == 41 then
    LVarSet = "L:AB_AP_ALTSTEP"
    ipc.writeLvar(LVarSet, 0)
end

in the large Lua plug-in, just have a plug-in, called, say "AltrateSlow.lua", containing just:

    ipc.writeLvar("L:AB_AP_ALTSTEP", 0)

then assign your rotary button to "Lua AltrateSlow".

If I get anywhere with a crash prevention modification to FSUIPC I'll let you know.

Regards

Pete

KAPTEJNLN · September 5, 2010

well think you are right it might bee that you are talking about after line as would be as start and stop all the time seems to get a to big load. update now i tryeid the push buttons and worked after restart crashed after it was set up but now it seems to work noticed that then i have set the hold funktion (only to push buttons) it rotates and stops randomly and think it would stop working loke dial but after a few sek it could continue to work. mabee that cause rotation dosent work as it dosent stop like buttons

would now try your last part

Pete Dowson · September 5, 2010

would now try your last part

Of course it probably was not the parameter 41 entry you really need to separate -- only those you want to assign to the Rotaries, like

-- 46 ALT inc slow or fast

-- 47 ALT dec slow or fast

-- 48 ALT inc slow (100)

-- 49 ALT inc fast (1000)

-- 50 ALT dec slow (100)

-- 51 ALT dec fast (1000)

To take 46 as an example, instead of this in the large Lua:

-- ALT inc
if ipcPARAM == 46 then
	LVarALT = ipc.readLvar("L:AB_AP_ALTSTEP")
	LVarSet = "L:AB_AP_ALT_Select"

	if LVarALT == 0 then
   	   LVarGet = ipc.readLvar(LVarSet)
 	   ipc.writeLvar(LVarSet, LVarGet+100)

	elseif LVarALT == 1 then	
  	   LVarGet = ipc.readLvar(LVarSet)
 	   ipc.writeLvar(LVarSet, LVarGet+1000)
	end
end

the free-standing version could be:

LVarALT = ipc.readLvar("L:AB_AP_ALTSTEP")
LVarSet = "L:AB_AP_ALT_Select"

if LVarALT == 0 then
   LVarGet = ipc.readLvar(LVarSet)
   ipc.writeLvar(LVarSet, LVarGet+100)

elseif LVarALT == 1 then	
   LVarGet = ipc.readLvar(LVarSet)
   ipc.writeLvar(LVarSet, LVarGet+1000)
end

though, assuming "L:AB_AP_ALTSTEP" is either zero or not-zero, slightly more efficiently as:

LVarALT = ipc.readLvar("L:AB_AP_ALTSTEP")
LVarSet = "L:AB_AP_ALT_Select"
LVarGet = ipc.readLvar(LVarSet)

if LVarALT == 0 then
   ipc.writeLvar(LVarSet, LVarGet+100)
else
   ipc.writeLvar(LVarSet, LVarGet+1000)
end

Meanwhile, I've looked at the possibility of just restarting Lua plug-ins instead of Killing and re-creating their threads, and there are too many complications. I'd need to take care to re-initialise everything as if it were a fresh thread even though it is not. With the possibility of COM devices, Networking handles and the like it is very messy, and I don't like a partial solution. So for now I'm going with the delay -- not allowing a re-run of a particular Lua plug-in within so many milliseconds of its last start. I'll allow the delay to be adjustable in the FSUIPC INI file, and default it to, say, 50 mSecs to allow up to 20 repeats per second. I'll try various things and may revise that downwards depending what I find.

Well, I've been trying GoFlight rotaries programmed to use Guenseli's original Lua, and I can't even get the rotaries sending pulses fast enough to get FSUIPC's Lua manager to even need to Kill the previous thread -- it has always finished by the time the next pulse from the rotary arrives.

So, either your PC is rather slow, or overloaded, and the Lua loading itself is taking a lot longer than on my system, or it is somehow peculiarly related to the AirbusX itself rather than anything I'm doing.

Tomorrow I'll supply an FSUIPC4 update which does limit the repeat rate, using an adjustable delay, but it may be that this needs investigating with this specific aircraft rather than generally as I have been doing.

Regards

Pete

well saidly both of the lau codes caused an faster not responding. here is the log

That shows over 30 seconds of turning the knob -- how long do you sit there turning it for normally, then? Very strange.

There aren't actually all that many instances of the thread having to be "Killed", but tellingly the last few are. The timings of those killings are interesting:

That's 78 mSecs, 63 mSecs and 63 mSecs, respectively -- all over the 50 mSecs I was considering putting in as the limit. Seems, for your system, which is evidently performing quite poorly, you'd need a delay of more like 100 mSecs to be safe. This would limit it to 10 repeats per second. I suppose that should be enough, though.

I don't have the AirbusX at present, but I might get it just to see if the problem is specific to they way it is working.

well only normal rotation speed fast as in fsx default could handel. could try to do it slow to see.

All this shows is your system is so much slower that the one i'm testing on, and/or heavily overloaded. It still needs 100 mSecs delay, not the 50 I envisaged. My system needs no delay, but i don't have the AirbusX (yet).

Odd that no one else has reported similar problems.

Pete

guenseli · September 5, 2010

Lars,

one idea comes to my mind: try to insert a delay into your LUA file (or lau file if you prefer that spelling :mrgreen: )

example:

if ipcPARAM == 48 then

LVarSet = "L:AB_AP_ALT_Select"

LVarGet = ipc.readLvar(LVarSet)

ipc.writeLvar(LVarSet, LVarGet+100)

ipc.sleep(100)

end

ipc.sleep(100) means theres a 100 millisecond pause.

you can play around with it; try maybe also 10 or 50 milliseconds...or more e.g. 200...?

of course you have to insert that in every command which you are using your rotary switches... 49, 50 etc

well over loaded there is also many things happening when airbus x runs here is a exampel from i was flyeing but not tuch any buttons then see how much there happens as default it shows axes running when default plane but here it is a very short as manny and goe on and on taken from the fsuipc log file:

and this is the only one i have problems whit at this moment, but also the only whit lau programing.

guenseli · September 5, 2010

Thats normal for nearly every bit more complex aircraft... has nothing to do with a general overload.

Is here also!

KAPTEJNLN · September 5, 2010

Well tryeid to the valv given from pete and you new vaulve but dident work, would try it whit your file now.

Pete Dowson · September 5, 2010

one idea comes to my mind: try to insert a delay into your LUA file

If that helps then the problem he is getting must be due to the coding in the aircraft, not in the Lua execution, because doing that actually makes the Killing and resurrection of Lua threads more likely, not less -- there's more chance it will still be running when the next rotary repetition comes in and FSUIPC has to run the Lua plug-in again.

Regards

Pete

KAPTEJNLN · September 5, 2010

well it also dident work not even whit 200,by the way whit 200 delay it then does a bit like push button before restart after i have set it up in fsuipc but in the end it still stoped working like push buttons. but i found that if i set it up as rotate a button and it starts goeing up the altitude then turn it again it stops as it should but so far it dosent caus it stop working.

update now it stoped working to as i was first try to get higher altitude then i get to high i had to go the otherway. well it is so hard best you think you got it working then awhile after nope it dosent :-(

Update seems to work whit the code from you pete and whit delay:

LVarALT = ipc.readLvar("L:AB_AP_ALTSTEP")

LVarSet = "L:AB_AP_ALT_Select"

LVarGet = ipc.readLvar(LVarSet)

if LVarALT == 0 then

ipc.writeLvar(LVarSet, LVarGet+100)

ipc.sleep(200)

else

ipc.writeLvar(LVarSet, LVarGet+1000)

ipc.sleep(200)

end

but only whit it set up like before see picture. but then have a problem to set altitude if 100 wrong but think i would try to set it only for 1000 as it is most used in ifr flight. but for how long before it shuts down i would try it out for some time.

but then it also dosent open and close files as ofthen then lower load.

by the way it would then be a problem at hdg and spd

KAPTEJNLN · September 5, 2010

well also seems to work that way as discribed above if i remove the delay (ipc.sleep(200)) as it dosent seems to be that there keeps it running. but the lower amuond of the on off effect.

Update well think i got the altitude working finaly as testet it in add on airport where it seemed normaly to get faster shut down. but i tryeid after restart and all that and turned the knob more then you would do normaly and it keept running.

So here it is would update it later on aerosoft forum and here when or if i could get the other spd and so on working to. tryeid to continue whit the only on comand per lau file so now it have the normal fast and slow funktion

slow in hundrets and fast in thousands

lau file:AltrateFAST

LVarALT = ipc.readLvar("L:AB_AP_ALTSTEP")

LVarSet = "L:AB_AP_ALT_Select"

LVarGet = ipc.readLvar(LVarSet)

if LVarALT == 0 then

ipc.writeLvar(LVarSet, LVarGet+1000)

end

lau file:AltrateSlow

LVarALT = ipc.readLvar("L:AB_AP_ALTSTEP")

LVarSet = "L:AB_AP_ALT_Select"

LVarGet = ipc.readLvar(LVarSet)

if LVarALT == 0 then

ipc.writeLvar(LVarSet, LVarGet+100)

end

Then just set slow to slow on gf and fast to fast and it works. (just to show how i got it working :-)

By the way pete isent there an option to send data to the gf display on autopilot only? as i know you have been talking about gf driver or program it from the begining. as it first update the gf display when pressing ingage the altitude. becaus it dosen work as the md80 where if i just pressed an button and flight director was on it keept updating gf display.

!!Update heading also work but have problems whit the speed as it dosent even work whit the lau code from guenseli also not if i used push buttons so.... dont know as not much into the names and so..

Pete Dowson · September 5, 2010

By the way pete isent there an option to send data to the gf display on autopilot only?

You can use the Lua gfd library to send stuff to GoFlight displays. It's up to you to program whether it only does this when the autopilot is enabled.

as i know you have been talking about gf driver or program it from the begining. as it first update the gf display when pressing ingage the altitude. becaus it dosen work as the md80 where if i just pressed an button and flight director was on it keept updating gf display.
!!Update heading also work but have problems whit the speed as it dosent even work whit the lau code from guenseli also not if i used push buttons so.... dont know as not much into the names and so..

Sorry, I don't understand any of that. In fact, reading back a lot, I think i might have been misunderstanding much of what you are trying to say. What is your native language? Do you think you might be able to write in your native language and get it translated into English by someone else, or maybe a good translation program? I think we might understand more then.

Pete

KAPTEJNLN · September 6, 2010

sorry my english!

well think i know what caused the stop responding was: LVarSPD = ipc.readLvar("L:AB_AP_SPDMACH") and all the other ones, because after i changesed it to LVarSPD = ipc.readLvar("L:AB_AP_SPDSTEP") and so on for the others, then it stoped crashing, so think it was the main problem. as now my comands work even if you turn it very fast to both sides and it keeps running also then i used all of them fast once it works. so mabee i just have to try changes it in the data from guenseli. but now it seems to work as it should. so soon i would up load it...

guenseli · September 6, 2010

where do you have the Variable "L:AB_AP_SPDSTEP" from?

As far as I know this variable does not exist...?

Are you still able to set your SPD?

Pete Dowson · September 6, 2010

FSUIPC 4.626, now available in the Updates Announcement, includes the timeout precaution I mentioned. I've set the default time to 66 mSecs, so Lua plug-ins are only killed off to be restarted if they take longer than that to execute.

From the sound of the more recent reports here this won't actually help, because it looks like the problem is in the AirbusX. However, please update.

Regards
