Rotary Encoders


Recommended Posts

Hi

I have just wired and calibrated a rotary encoder via BUO836X

I am trying to configure it with fscuip it also shows in buttons and switches

But I want to use it for the ND on the efis but the drop down bar doesn't show efis controls?

Any help appreciated

What version of FS? What aircraft? Which "drop down bar" -- do you mean FSUIPC's Buttons & Switches assignments, right-hand side?

 

There are several add-on controls for EFIS provided by FSUIPC for FSX default 737 and A320, but FS itself provides none. The control seems to be internal to the gauges.

Hi Pete

 

I am using FS9 Ifly 737 900

FSUIPC's drop downs only list controls which are built into FS, or added by FSUIPC for functions which can be implemented easily for FS. Add on aircraft very often implement their own way of doing things. You will need to refer to their documentation.

 

There is a program "iFly2FSUIPC" which maps iFly data and functions to FSUIPC offsets so you can use FSUIPC offset controls, but I don't know if that works on FS9 or only FSX.

 

Also you may find that mouse macros can be made for that aircraft -- I don't actually know. Alternatively some folks may well have made some Lua plug-ins which do the job, and it may possible also using.local panel variables (L:vars). Sorry, there's no way for me to know as I don't use iFly (nor FS9 for that matter).

 

Macros and Lua plug-ins places in the FS Modules folder alongside FSUIPC will also be listed for assignment in the dropdowns in Buttons & Switches, Axis and Keys assignments, but you need those files first.

 

Check through the threads in the User Contributions subforum -- someone may have already done it.

 

Regards

Pete
