Kermit_70 Posted June 17, 2015 Report Posted June 17, 2015 Hello, I have a naive question that is bugging me: Â 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. Â Do toggles even have parameters in FSUIPC? Â 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. Â 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. Â 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. Â Â 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
