GoFlight MCP Pro and VasFMS

[JoseVazquez]

Hi,

I'm interested in using VasFMS in a network system through WideFS and at the same time configure my GoFlight MCP Pro to handle the Vas advanced autopilot.

Is there a LUA script to handle this? Is it possible?

Thanks in advance for your comments.

I'm afraid I don't know the "vas advanced autopilot" at all so I cannot really comment. Have you looked through the User Contributions subforum to see if any one has already done something?

Maybe you can do it by direct assignment -- no point in jumping to a Lua solution if it is as easy as assigning things, though of course that wouldn't deal with the MCP displays.

Maybe "vas" has a Forum where you could also seek assistance?

Hi Jose,

I don't have Go-Flight MCP but the VRInsight MCP Combo but I use it to control vasFMC 2.1 via Lua (actually it is the new tool LINDA I use which unfortunately does not yet support GoFlight hardware).

vasFMC 2.1 has now FSUIPC offsets (see documentation) and with these offsets you can trigger changes in the A/P settings or EFIS. With the GoFlight Lua library you can interface with your hardware. The rest is something like:

handle event from GoFlight

write appropriate value to the vasFMC offset

e.g. To toggle the Flight Director in vasFMC use ipc.writeUB(0x6dd5,22)
