Keypress and delay

[guit33]

Hello

I use fsuipc 7 with MFS2020.

I want when I press one of my joystick button to have a delay of 30s and then activate the key H (assign to function in MFS2020: engine 1 deice) (it to simulate the inertial separator).

So I create a lua files:

ipc.sleep(30000) 

ipc.keypress(72) (I find 72 is for H in the documentation)

But it does not work, any idea ?

Thanks

 

 

 

delay.lua

After searching it seems that the good control is ipc.control and not keypress

I tried 65732+72=65804 ipc.control (65804) 

But still not work

What is 'H' assigned to in MSFS? Which aircraft?

What is '65732 + 72' supposed to do?  As listed in the Controls list, 65732 is assigned to "EXIT"!  Adding 72 to it changes it to 65804 which is "APP ATT HOLD ON" -- i.e attitude hold. Does your aircraft have such a facility in its autopilot? Did you turn the AP on first?

Hello

I have assign H to a shortkey in MFS 2020: for me H= deice engine 1 (I use the TBM930)

So I am just looking to find a way to use H in my lua script.

You could try the proper control number instead. This is in the controls list:

66484   ANTI_ICE_TOGGLE_ENG1

There's also

66488   ANTI_ICE_SET_ENG1

for which I would guess a parameter of 1 sets it on, and 0 sets it off. For this one:

67012   ANTI_ICE_GRADUAL_SET_ENG1

I'm not sure at all what that does, if anything.

As to why a keypress isn't working, you need to ask John. You should be posting in the MSFS subforum above for MSFS questions.

Try activating lua debug logging as well as logging for Buttons & Keys and produce a FSUIPC7.log file and show that to me, together with your FSUIPC7.ini.

I will move this topic to the FSUIPC7 / MSFS support forum.
