SPAD and Multi Panel JS41 Rotary knobs setup

[peter131176]

Hi Pete,

 

Was wondering if Rotary knobs can be set up through FSUIPC. I want to set up rottary knob for PMDG JS41 through SPAD and then assign it through FSUIPC. Dont know if its possible through Sward or Dward values if so I don't know values is there any way you could help me with it?

 

Regards

Peter

Yes, rotary encoders can be programed in FSUIPC, just like buttons. Most of the better ones provide button press/release when turned, one button number for clockwise, another for anticlockwise, withalternatie press and release on each click. With such you just program as normal buttons, but usually the same action for both press and release.

 

There are some types which are not so easy, giving signals n tow inputs but just at different phases according to direction. They are more complex to program. There is an example in the FSUIPC advanced users manyal.

 

As for actions of a PMDG aircraft, I'm afraid you need information about that aircraft. Not sure where "SPAD" comes into it I'm afraid. I assime by "Sward" and "Dward" you are trying to refer to Signed Word and Dounle Word offset values? Why offsets? I didn't think any PMDG aircraft used FSUIPC offsets?
