Offset help


Recommended Posts

I'm trying to reconfigure me old pm system to sim avionics. As I am using cockpitsonic Guages in over head sim avionics can use fsuipc and pm offsets so I do not need to change hardware. Is there a full list of led and switch offsets?

 

Many thanks James

Yes understood. And thats exactly where I have been looking however I'm still unable to find offsets. I know cockpit sonic use pm offsets. However mathias has been very un Helpful and obstructive to say the least. And as far from pm offsets that I can get a hold off they do not have the information in need? Anyone out there got any lists?

Many thanks

Also you can download the PM offsets list from the PM website.

http://www.projectmagenta.com/downloads/?category=1

The details of the areas used specifically by pmSystems are listed in the SYSVAR.TXT file included with pmSystems.

Those two documents are all I ever had for PM, and when I converted to ProSim737 (which otherwise has its own hardware drivers) I simply reused or adapted the same ones.

Thomas unfortunately I am moving away from project magenta due to personal and technical reasons. I have looked at old pm system offsets and I can't find what I need. Hence the hunt I'm on now. Pete thank you for all your help and support with fsuipc. It is amazing. Is there any where within fsuipc that when i action  a switch or button on a cockit sonic device it can register it. Again I have no support from magenta and cockpitsonic Are refusing to help. As for sim avionics they have been amazing. I fully recommend them and their software. 

 

Many thanks again to both of you.

But I thought you said CS was working with PM? If so then presumably the offsets it uses are still configured in its driver CFG?

OH control by PM is in pmSystems, so the offsets are listed in SYSVAR.TXT, as I said.

You can log IPC reads and writes, if CS is only using those, but the log might get very big. Make sure nothing else is running which uses FSUIPC offsets.

Cocpit Sonic use pm offset. I am no longer using project magenta as I have transfered across to sim avionics in order to reduce my computer count to 2 and increase my simulator speed dramatically. Everything else works apart from twork cs devices. I have managed to get most output configured it's just the switch I'm having trouble with.  Us there a master offsets list?

 

Many thanks

Why are you posting the same original question? Please see the answers already given, above!

Cheers Pete just trying to understand what I need to do. The question is the same only because im new to this. I shall not bother you anymore. Please make sure my account is cancelled with your forum.

 

Many thanks again

Why's that? Will you never need any more help with FSUIPC, Offsets and so on?

Have you taken offense to something I've said? When you posted almost the exact same explanation and question as you originally posted to start this thread I assumed you'd somehow missed the answers. Either that, or you had intended to post it to another Forum and accidentally posted here again. That's why I asked the question and suggested you look at answers I assumed you must have missed.

I do my best to help all those that come here. I don't know any other way to help you at present except answer the specific questions you've asked. I do not know SimAvionics, and nor do I use any CockpitSonic drivers -- I do have parts of a CockpitSonic Overhead in use, but I do all my own drivers for cockpit hardware, so I can be in complete control. Mine work hand-in-hand with my PFC cockpit and with Prosim737. I used to use Project Magenta and converted to Prosim by using PM offsets where possible, modifying the contents of some if necessary to meet Prosim's needs.

I also now notice you said

But you failed to mention which switch you had trouble with!
