Xpndr digits right shift ...


Recommended Posts

Hi Peter,

I am keen to emulate the typical pushbutton transponder that will enter the selected number (0 - 7) as the highest numeral and shift the digits to the right one position.

As far as I can tell, there are no combinations offsets via fsuipc that achieve this, and am assuming this needs to be done with a combination of storing some variables and processing.

Happy to cut some code but need some advice on how to approach this with fsuipc ... not quite sure where to start as I've only done pretty simple button assignments in the past.

Cheers,

Tony

Is there one that does that? All those single selector ones I've encountered work the other way, shifting to the left so the first digit entered is the first one in the transponder code. Otherwise you'd need to enter the code backwards which could introduce errors.

You can certainly do it with a small Lua plug-in. you could probably do it with a sequence of keystrokes, switching from one decoding to the next by clever use of flags, but I think the Lua plug-in approach would be easier.

In your FSUIPC Documents folder, in the FS Modules folder, you'll find the Lua plug-ins documentation and examples. Have a look at that lot first.
