737NGX overhead macros

[ose159]

Hi,

 

in FS2004 we had the overhead macros and now, in the latest FSUIPC version i can not find the macros to get the overhead running in FSX with the latest 737NGX (service pack included). Any help will be very appreciated.

Thanks in advance

What has FS2004 got to do with FSX and the 737NGX? There is no connection there. The NGX is no way anything like the old PMDG 737 for FS2004.

 

FSUIPC ins't supplied with any macros, in fact nothing at all for the NGX. If you want to use macros you need to make them or install someone else's. I think there are quite a few suggestions in the User Contributions subforum.

Yes fs2004 has nothing to do with 737NGX. What i wanted to say is that in fs20004 there where macros to drive the overhead of the PMDG 737 and i belived you created them so i was asking for the same macros in FSX for the 737 NGX.

Where can i find some help ?

 

Thanks a lot for your replay

If your NGX is up to date you'll find the NGX folder has an SDK. In there you'll see a .h file (can't remember the name offhand). That lists all the controls you need, for the whole cockpit,. You need to work out the numbers and assign them as "custom controls" (by number) in FSUIPC.

Hi Pete,

 

very sorry to bother you but i am learning.

I have applyed the SP1C and now i have seen the SDK but i do not know how to to work out the numbers.

 

Expample : 

 

#define EVT_OH_FUEL_PUMP_1_AFT (THIRD_PARTY_EVENT_ID_MIN + 37) // 37 - FUEL PUMP LEFT AFT Switch

 

the fsuipc mask asks me for the number of the control in the range 65536-131070 or in hex format

 

Now how can i find out the value that means what is the equivalent value of THIRD PARTY EVENT ID MIN so i can add 37 ?

Is this correct or ...... something else ?

 

Could you please be so kind to give me an example ?

 

Thanks a lot for beeing so patient with me.

Yes, all that is correct.

I think you'll find it is defined there, somewhere near the start of the list of EVenTs. Sorry, I don't have access to the file at present. Just search for that name, "THIRD_PARTY_EVENT_ID_MIN".

Could I point you to LINDA

the LINDA module for the NGX contains every VC switch of the NGX overhead, ready to be assigned via a menu to your hardware ...

Thanks a lot Guenseli

 

i will try and may i disturb you if i have problems ?

Yes, of course, but please ask questions in the LINDA forum as I just answer things there to keep things less complicated ;)
