Ian P Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 Exactly as the thread title says... "The most pointless gauge in FSX ever". The ELT switch as described in that thread does nothing but simulate a test. It's a dummy switch. Presuming it is a gauge as stated then you could possibly pick up a Local variable and program it to be switched using LUA, but all it'll do is move a switch backwards and forwards that has no effect on anything other than the switch itself If you're lucky it might make a sound. It's a bit like the "Panic buttons" you can get that are a doorbell button in the middle of a plastic placard that says "Panic Button". You can press it. It won't achieve anything, but you can press it any time you want! Cheers, Ian P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gray Posted August 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 Thanks Ian. So - a physical switch that turns an LED on and off again will do the trick procedurely. right? Help much appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian P Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 I presume this is for a home cockpit then? If so, I'd suggest yes, a switch with an LED would work fine, procedurally - but it might be worth checking with an avionics tech or a manual or something whether it is supposed to go "bleep" or something, as well as just light a red LED?

Yorg Tzitzifas Posted May 31, 2020 Report Share Posted May 31, 2020 Hello , I’m wondering if there is a way to “trigger” a toggle switch somehow when a crash or over stress occur from fsx ? i need it for my home build sim for ELT . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Richter Posted May 31, 2020 Report Share Posted May 31, 2020 Hi, you will find couple of Offsets you can use and write i.e. a Lua script using the ones they suit most. Quote 1140 8 G-Force: the full 'raw' value from FS's SimConnect 11B8 2 G Force: copy of 11BA on touchdown. 11BA 2 G Force: units unknown, but /624 seems to give quite sensible values. See also offset 1140 34D0 8 G force maximum 34D8 8 G force minimum You will find as well more Offsets for Acceleration (positive and negative) over the X, Y and Z axis in ft/sec/sec Thomas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorg Tzitzifas Posted June 1, 2020 Report Share Posted June 1, 2020 Thank you for your response . all I want to is When the plane crashed from I.e terrain to drive an LED.... I’m not a programmer . Can you guide me step by step..? many thanks in advavce Yorg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need hardware and some sort of programmed interface to drive an LED. If you can determine what conditions you deem a 'crash' and find suitable values in the FSUIPC offsets list, then you can get your harware driving software to read it and operate the LED. If you are not a programmer I assume you have already supplied software for your LED? There is of course offset 0840 which is the 'crashed' flag. that shows when the Sim itself detects a crash. Otherwise for a landing hard enough to be possibly deemed a 'crash' i think the relevant offsets to check are 11B8 (as Thomas suggested) and 030C (vertical speed). 1 minute ago, Yorg Tzitzifas said: All I can do from programming is Arduino... I have one of those somewhere but I don't remember how to program one. But it should do the job, and from offsets. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
