Axes and Potentiometer

[John Dowson]

There is a version available, v7/2/16c, including an updated WASM, that has a 1k limit for the calculator code if you would like to try it. It can be found here:

Wow. That has been fast! 

Wilco. Thanks

(PFD + ND)  if someone wants to map all display brightness it will become even longer. But the 1k you provided should definitely be a good value.

Tried it with 
 

@ 10.23 / {value} max 100 min 88 (>K:2:LIGHT_POTENTIOMETER_SET) @ 10.23 / {value} max 100 min 89 (>K:2:LIGHT_POTENTIOMETER_SET) @ 10.23 / {value} max 100 min 8 (>K:2:LIGHT_POTENTIOMETER_SET) @ 10.23 / {value} max 100 min 92 (>K:2:LIGHT_POTENTIOMETER_SET) @ 10.23 / {value} max 100 min 93 (>K:2:LIGHT_POTENTIOMETER_SET)

wich is >255 chars for CPT PFD, ND, ECAM1 and ECAM2 and works like a charm. Thanks a lot John!

@joeherwig FY, I have just released v7.2.16, which allows you to define parameterized presets to assign and execute calculator code on a button press without needing to use lua. The MobiFlight presets are also included. Please see the Advanced User guide for details.

Hi John,

that sounds great. I'll check it out.

Joe

[John Dowson]

Hi Joe,

Please do, and if you haven't done this already, check out the MobiFlight HubHop website for presets/calculator code, and consider submitting any additional code there. It is the main community resource for MSFS calc code.

Cheers,

John

 

[joeherwig]

I know it really well, but thanks for the hint. I'm sure plenty people of the community were not yet aware of it.

Since John added already the capability to use parameterized CalculatorCode Presets on axes as well i just added the dimmers now based on that standard mode:

Just add the lines for your myevents.txt

and then assign it in FSUIPC directly:

Thanks @joeherwig. I thought I had removed axes assignments to presets as I wasn't sure if this was that useful and am uncertain about the performance when controlling an axis using calculator code. I added the preset checkbox to allow presets to be used in the right-hand side, but this also has the effect of allowing the preset to also be assigned to the axus input. This isn't an issue in itself, but I think there may be some issues when reviewing an axis assignment to a preset - I will check this and also update the documentation for this.

Cheers,

John

Hi John,

If you keep that "side effect" it would be very nice. 👍
If you can adjust it to refer to the name instead of the line index (or whatever it is) it would be perfect. 👍👍👍🧡

As at least on my quite old system with quad core and 1080ti only i cannot notice any performance impact even with the really long combination of multiple calculator codes.

Could you try the attached beta please, 7.3.9e. This should automatically re-write your ini to use the preset name when assigned to an axis, although you may have to go into the axis assignment dialog and click 'OK' to update.

Thanks,

John

Wow! That's been awesome fast. Thanks. I'll check it tonight if the Su10 download doesn't block me too long.

Hi John,

Works like a charm in 7.3.9e.
Thanks a lot!
