grigna 1 Posted November 28, 2020 Report Share Posted November 28, 2020 Hi, I'm trying to customize my MCP Combi. I taken a look at FSUIPC7 documentation regarding the COM library to write a message on MCP display. By default, pushing KNOB (SPD or HDG or ALT) a character '*' is displayed on right side the KNOB pushed. How can I control this output? How can I to change char from '*' to another char? Have I to use com.write (the port is already opened by FSUIPC) or is there another way? Thank in advance. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm afraid the VRI support dates 10 years back and I really cannot help more than the documentation and the two example plug-ins (in the Lua examples ZIP file). I would need to study those and experiment just as you need to. I haven't had any access to VRI devices for those 10 years. I had thought they'd improved their software enough by now not to need re-programming by users. However, referring to the VRI_SetMach.lua example should help you. Yes, to write to a COM device you use com.write. Not sure what other way you'd expect. I think many VRI users theses days use LINDA, but I'm not even sure about that. Might be worth you taking a look if you are not keen on delving into programming with Lua. Pete Quote Link to post Share on other sites
