Inverters

[cfpapy]

Hi,

The sim I use,( picture hereafter) is the lear gates 28 add on from Xtreme prototype for ,FSX.

There are 2 toggle switches called " inverters " but couldn't find any offset for it.

Can it be replaced by another offset ?

Thanks

FSUIPC offsets reflect provisions in FS itself, not in add-ons which implement additional subsystems, unless they use FSUIPC themselves. Additionally, many switches and buttons are only represented by controls or events sent to the sim, not by offsets which are primarily designed for reading data out of the sim, not specifically controlling switches.

Googling finds this brief description:

"AC electrical power is normally developed in the Lear Jet by two ll5 volt, LL00 cycle static inverters".

So, how does your add-on aircraft implemet the switches? Are they just cosmetic, to make it look good, or do they actualy do something? If they are tied to anything in FS itself, they most likely are the generators. Does the aircraft have switches for those too, or possibly the inverters ARE the generators for this particular aircraft?

Doesn't the add-on's documentation reveal anything? Doesn't it allow you to assign buttons or keypresses, or are those switches mouse-only? Enable event logging in FSUIPC and see what is logged when you operate them. If mouse-only, see if mouse macros will work. If not investigate the L:Vars for ths aircraft -- that might offer a way too.

Hi Pete,

Thank you for your answer, this clarify a little bit the problems I have with Add-on planes

Yes, there are also toggle switches ( 3 positions, ALT,OFF, START) which are very anoying as after starting eng you should set the switch to ALT but when passing over the stop position the eng stops??

When doing this with the mouse it react's correctly ?

I keep searching, thanks for your help and best regards

It shouldn't do. Sounds like it is cutting fuel or battery too, which it certainly should not. See what controls it is sending -- Event logging in the FSUIPC logging tab.
