Set offset value using FSUIPC

[Wydawnictwo Mfiles Pl]

Hello!

I try to implement Eric Marciano's FSUIPC Exporter. It mostly works, however I have problem with landing lights switch. I use 2-position switch (on/off). I programmed it this way:

 

1=P2,1,Cx010056A9,x02 ; turn on lights - set value to 2

2=U2,1,Cx010056A9,x00 ; turn off lights - set value to 1

 

The first one works, the second doesn't. How to set value to 0? Am I doing something wrong?

 

Next, identical switch works with other offset. Here I use toggle function:

 

3=P2,1,Cx0D0056A7,x01 ; switch taxi lights

4=U2,1,Cx0D0056A7,x01 ; switch taxi lights

 

Regards,

Slawek

I don't know Eric's "FSXExporter", and I don't know what offset 56A9 does. it isn't one implemented in FSUIPC, so it must be specific to your aircraft or add-on.  The FSUIPC control you are using is the "Offset byte set" control (which can be assigned easily in the Buttons & Switches tab, so I don't know why you are editing the INI file?). Anyway, certainly that setting for button release will set that byte offset to 0, so I think you need to find out what that offset 56A9 does.

 

If it is bit-oriented (and it looks that way with value 2 for landing lights) then you should be using Offset byte setbits and Offset byte Clearbits instead of the straight Byte set, else you are changing all 8 bits not just the one.

 

The FS and FSUIPC supported offset for lights is the Unsigned word 0D0C.
