Problem with homecockpit

[Triphon76]

Hello everyone,

I made a small cockpit of boeing under FSX, but I want to make it a little more complex. So I built a new base.

Under Win10, I installed FSX-Steam, SIOC, PMDG 737NG and Fsuipc 4 with licenses for each. My problem is that the control of offsets seems to be done only in reading and not in writing. Indeed, I can check that when I switch the virtual button on the screen, the offset is well updated (0 to 1) with the offset 649.

Simply put, I just took the offset from the belt signal. on the other hand if I impose the value 1 or 0, the virtual button does not move. I do not know where to look or what to check and I do not know if it is a problem PMDG or fsuipc ... I do not know where to look or what to check and I do not know if it is a problem PMDG or fsuipc ...

I do not know where to look or what to check and I do not know if it is a problem PMDG or fsuipc ... I perform a second test using offset and a boI perform a second test using offset and a boeing of FSX steam (without PMDG) and everything works properly.

Do you have any idea what I can still check or what solution I canTo find?

Thank you all and good Sunday.

Ps: sorry for my English

I'm afraid I don't understand what you are talking about,. What's a "belt signal" and what offset are you talking about?

If you mean you are trying to write to the special offsets added for a PMDG Boeing aircraft (unspecified!!), then, I'm sorry but you can't. The interface provided by PMDG doesn't work that way.

You need to look in the SDK folder installed by PMDG for your aircraft. There's a file there of type .h. Look at that. The first part lists the data, the read only data supplied for you in the FSUIPC offsets if enabled. The end part lists all of the custom controls which you can use in FSUIPC assignmens to operate your PMDG cockpit.

Ah! Well, in that case you definitely haven't programmed your system for PMDG aircraft! Those just do not use the same controls or offsets which default and simpler add-on aircraft use.  PMDG implemented their own systems, bypassing those in the default sim.

A big thank you for this quick response.

What I'm trying to do is that a physical button (via THE IN/OUT opencockpit cards) to control the button for example "anti-collision light" I took the offset in the documentation PMDG (offset 6501).

OK, This offset is not the same as for FSX.

When I check in fsuipc "option and settings" "Logging" offset 6501 => FS titlle Bar, when I handle the virtual button, I see the offset go from 1 to 0. So the offset is correct.

However via SIOC, if I force the value to 1 nothing happens in FSX.

But if I switch the virtual button from FSX, in SIOC I see the value of the 6501rect offset go from 1 to 0.

It was said that the problem is not a link, but that one cannot force a writing of the offset. Yet homecockpit works with PMDG, so this must be possible?

Thank you for your help

Which aircraft is this with? you've not yet said!

The PMDG dedicated offsets are all READ ONLY as i said.

But none of these PMDG offsets are read by the PMDG. They are only places where the PMDG settings are stored for you to read. Whatever you write there will be overwritten (corrected) next time anything in the PMDG aircraft is changed.

For PMDG aircraft you have to use the CONTROLS they define, not any offsets. Please read what I write in my replies. you appear to have simply inored the last replay! 😞

Again, thank you for your answers and your patience with a novice.

For the aircraft, it is the Boeing 737-800NGX. I did look at the SDK file. H, but I don't understand it.

I've already made progress thanks to you because I know that now I don't have to change the offsets. I'm going to dig on the side of the file. H

Thanks and good afternoon.

It works. A big thank you for directing me to the solution
