Kermit_70 Posted June 17, 2015 Report Posted June 17, 2015 Hello, I have a naive question that is bugging me: I am assigning Saitek switches as toggle commands in FSUIPC (I am using SPAD to convert the physical switch to a virtual button to be transferred into FSUIPC). All good, except I never understood what the "parameter" field in FSUIPC means for a toggle command (for example, light on/off or fuel pump on/off, etc). Should I bother, or just ignore it? I tried "1" and "0" and I don't see any difference in the switch behaviour. Do toggles even have parameters in FSUIPC? The real reason I am looking into this, is that when I start dark&cold and switch battery on through Saitek panel, a number of switches suddenly go ON in the cockpit (battery as well), even if they are in OFF position on Saitek panel... This does not happen if I use the mouse in VC to switch battery on, so it has to do with SPAD or FSUIPC. Any insight, please? Many thanks!
Nawarathna Kumara Posted June 17, 2015 Report Posted June 17, 2015 Do you use any micro controller for it... Or any c++ or vb.net application.....? and what kind of aircraft do you want to control ...? perhaps i can help you if you can answer above...because of ( parameters are varied according to aircraft , very special for pmdg. airbus x.. etc.)

Just plain old Saitek hardware, SPAD software and FSUIPC4 (latest version, paid). Aicrafts: Cessna 172 and Piper Cherokee from A2A Thanks
Gypsy Baron Posted June 18, 2015 Report Posted June 18, 2015 'Toggle' by definition does not require a parameter. Just use 0 or 1....your choice. If you use SET, then you need to specify a parameter to pass along. Other conditions such as CYCLIC will also require a parameter. I suggest you study the Advanced Users PDF file that comes with the FSUIPC4 installer. I think you will find it in the Modues\documentation folder. At least that is where mine is but I am on my traveling laptop at the moment and can't give you exact details. Paul
Nawarathna Kumara Posted June 18, 2015 Report Posted June 18, 2015 please Refer the XX:\FSX\Modules\FSUIPC Documents\FSUIPC4 for Advanced Users.pdf
