Can FSUIPC do this ?


Recommended Posts

Hi

I am building a 737-800, with FSX, PM and FSUIPC + WIDEFS setup.

Recently I've got a PnP HW which feeds from the USB port + SW to initiate it.

Problem is, this product will NOT recognise the FSX state - I.E it will work regardless wether the A/C is in "cold & dark" or powered up.

Tried to hook the USB cable into to a powered hub and disconnect the power - no joy !

Since I wish to be able to have the HW work only when the Aircraft is powered up, I wonder if the FSUIPC can triger somehow the SW.

What I mean is something like this: if BATT switch is "on" - then execute xyz.exe

Can FSUIPC do this ?

Many thanks

Isaac

Yes, you can do it using a Lua plug-in. Please see the Lua library documents in your FSUIPC documents subfolder (in Modules).

Hi Pete

Thank you very much for your quick reply.

It's such a big honor for me to actually talk to you - since I admire so much the things you have done for the sim community.

I will study this and see if I can get through it.

Cheers

Isaac
