Macro FLT_ALT for 737 Pmdg P3dv3

[pat1015]

Hi Pete, I have a problem with the macros for the 737 Pmdg, I've read many posts about it here, where you say, rightly abandon macros and use variables available in SDK pmdg, i did it for everything but i can not to go FLT_ALT pressurization the variable Pmdg is 69850 i put in fsuipc in custom control so it works but only incremental, i do not have a variable to decrement, with the same value i should be able to inc / dec, with the macro being all easy with one of the latest Pmdg updates does not work anymore, and I do not even get the green bar upstairs to register the macros. How can I solve the pressurization Dec?
Tks Pete

By "variable" I take it you mean "control", as otherwise the above makes no sense.

I do not use or have PMDG aircraft, so I can't really help specifically, but I'm pretty sure that there's only one PMDG control for each function. You use the parameter to it to tell it what it is you want to do. I think it emulates what the mouse would do. With PMDG dials, don't you get a little mouse cursor indicating turning, and you then use the left button for decrement and right for increment? 

The controls are similar. I would have thought you'd already encountered this for things like MCP speed, altitude, V/S etc.

The parameters are not simple 0's and 1's. I think that .h file has a list of values equating to different mouse actions. Take a look.

Use the wheel-up and wheel-down values. In a lua script like so:

ipc.control(EVT_OH_PRESS_FLT_ALT_KNOB, MOUSE_FLAG_WHEEL_UP)
