Logging event problem

[Ricardo Afoito]

Good evening, i'm trying to assign a switch to increase the autopilot selected altitue but having problems determining the control sent when button pressed. Tried logging but my log is being filled with:

10722791 *** EVENT: Cntrl= 65962 (0x000101aa), Param= 16 (0x00000010) FUEL_SELECTOR_SET

10722791 *** EVENT: Cntrl= 66523 (0x000103db), Param= 16 (0x00000010) FUEL_SELECTOR_2_SET

i'm trying to determine which event is triggered when i increase my altitute bug but can't see it in the log.

So 2 problemas here. My unexpected log filling with those 2 lines and can't setting the altitude by switch.

Thanks.

Those events are certainly being produced incessantly by an add-on, most likely the aircraft you have loaded. Try with a default aircraft. Some add-ons, notably PMDG, send lots of FS controls all of the time. I've no idea why, it seems quite wasteful.

An alternative is to use the DontLogThese INI file parameter to stop the logging of those controls which are fuilling the log up. This parameter is described in the Advanced Users manual -- see page 10 or thereabouts.

i'm trying to determine which event is triggered when i increase my altitute bug but can't see it in the log.

If the bug is operated as a standard FS feature it will be AP_ALT_VAR_INC (number 65892). But if it's an add-on doing its own thing for A/P it may not use FS controls at all.

Tanks for the quick answer.

I'm using the A340 from wilco Airbus Series Evolution Vol.2. and at the moment i cant the A/P to respond to the switch. Heading bug for example has no problem.

Its just stange that i can't find no post with similar problem being wilco widely used.

It may be specific to that aircraft. Try a default aircraft. Also check the User Contributions subforum to see if others have worked out how to control your aircraft. Also see if the add-on comes with documentation telling you how to operate the A/P correctly.
