zorzini Posted November 11, 2020 Report Share Posted November 11, 2020 Hi, thanks for developing FSUIPC7 that I bought and use in a small cockpit panel. Some items are working accordingly with Asobo and MS communication dialog. I noted that for event id 66056 param 1 (PANEL_LIGHTS_ON) this is show by FSUIPC7 in Console if I move the related virtual switch in Simulator but if I assign and use the same Event on a switch on Mobiflight the FSUIPC Console shows me the action but nothing happends on simulator; same with Event id 66057 param 1. My target is to do ON/OFF Panel Lights on simulator via a switch on panel managed by Mobiflight. I recognize that Mobiflight correctly send the Input (button action) to MSFS via FSUIPC. I found the item LIGHT PANEL ON under "The following simvars are available but currently not requested: " in offsetStatus spreadsheet v0.11 at line 1754. It is possible to activate this Item ? Thanks for support Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Richter Posted November 11, 2020 Report Share Posted November 11, 2020 Hi, the both (PANEL_LIGHTS_ON and PANEL_LIGHTS_OFF) don't do anything via SimConnect, seems not supported yet by Asobo. But you can use PANEL_LIGHTS_SET instead with value 1 for ON and 0 for OFF, checked with Asobo Baron G58 that has that switch. Thomas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm using Cessna Longitude and/or TBM930. Bye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomas Hi Thomas, i confirm that event id 66058 (PANEL_LIGHTS_SET) is correctly working for Baron G58 and not for both TBM930 and Longitude. The difference between Baron and the other two planes in lights panel is that on Baron virtual simulator panel is a simple switch and on the other two planes are potentiometers that also dimming the panel light. Also I will waiting that during next years Asobo and Microsoft will expose the id's correctly. Thanks for Your cooperation. Bye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is possible to activate this Item ? I could add this if you like, but it is documented as read-only, so cannot be used to update. I guess it could be writeable but documented incorrectly - I can add this locally to test. But if it isn't, would this still be useful? 14 hours ago, zorzini said: I noted that for event id 66056 param 1 (PANEL_LIGHTS_ON) this is show by FSUIPC7 in Console if I move the related virtual switch in Simulator but if I assign and use the same Event on a switch on Mobiflight the FSUIPC Console shows me the action but nothing happends on simulator; same with Event id 66057 param 1. Unfortunately this happens with quite a few events, i.e. you can see them when activating from the UI, but sending via SimConnect has no affect, and this varies from aircraft to aircraft. Probably worth raising a zendesk issue to Asobo ib the aircraft in question. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Richter Posted November 12, 2020 Report Share Posted November 12, 2020 Hi, Quote not for both TBM930 and Longitude. the control SET works for TBM930 as well but is immediately set back to zero (0), seems the panel light rotary overwrites that, , light comes ON and goes OFF and opposite as weel when ON and set to 0 it comes ON again. So clearly a Asobo failure in those Aircrafts. Thomas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope events and offsets for MSFS will be fully avaiable during next year (i'm retired and have a lot of time for waiting). Thanks for Your cooperation and regards.

You can also try activating event logging to see if any event are logged when those controls are activated, and if so try to assign to those events instead (although this is not guaranteed to work - if not, use key press assignments).
