Newbie question

[Pierre95]

Hello,

FSUIPC 4.xxx, and LINDA registered user, I have some newbie questions.

I would like program FSLabs ConcordeX with my Yoke, Throttles quadrand (2), Rudder pedal and Vrinsight MCP Combo.

I have programmed axis with FSUIPC without problem.

I have programmed some Saitek devices switches with LINDA.

My question is:

I would like to know the parameters of the control associated with this aircraft.

I had a partial answer from Linda Forum.

I know the control used by ConcordeX is : 66587 for all commands

So I wrote a LINDA function like this:

function IAS_Acq ()
  ipc.control(66587,71062)
end

function Max_Climb ()
  ipc.control(66587,71074)
end
[/CODE]

It allow me to press the ALT ACQ and MAX CLIMB virtual cockpit buttons through MCP Combo buttons. They work OK

The problem is I don't know the parameters used by example to push down the engine1 starter.

Could you tell me how find these parameter ?

Hope to be clear.

Thanks so much for help.

Best Regards

Pierre

Really? That's the FSX "Rotor brake" control. How strange.

Try using FSUIPC's logging. Enable Event logging in the logging tab, then operate each item in turn noting down what is sent. If you run FSX in Windowed mode and enable FSUIPC's console log window you'll be able to see the results in real time.

Your hint works well...!!! Thanks.

So when open subpanels like fuel management or engines starter, No event is logged as I turn switches or press button.

Could tell me what can I do to capture the controls and parameters in console in this case ?

Thanks by advance

I don't know, sorry. Maybe they are susceptible to FSUIPC's "mouse macro" treatment?

Also look in the User Contributions subforum. There's a thread there entitled "FSL Concorde LUA Script" which may help.
