Assign button action for axis range

[Carliolian]

Good afternoon Petr & John

Does the "Set up to 10 ranges for action" for button controls work in FSUIPC7 ?

I am trying to set up the flaps in the CRJ 700. Using an axis, the flaps jump from F20 to F45 missing F30.

I have tried with the following setting. But it does not work. Am I doing something wrong?

2=AZ,256
3=AZ,B,-16384,-14139,65698,0    -{ Entering=FLAPS_SET }-
4=AZ,B,-11735,-7887,65698,1    -{ Entering=FLAPS_SET }-
5=AZ,B,-3719,-513,65698,2    -{ Entering=FLAPS_SET }-
6=AZ,B,4104,7214,65698,3    -{ Entering=FLAPS_SET }-
7=AZ,B,12792,15518,65698,4    -{ Entering=FLAPS_SET }-
8=AZ,B,14492,16383,65698,5    -{ Entering=FLAPS_SET }-

The zones you have set are overlapping for the Flaps Set 4 & 5 controls.

However, if using an axis for the flaps, why are you doing this via ranges? Just assign your axis to the FS control Axis Flap Set. No need to calibrate, unless the axis needs reversiong.

Good Morning John

Corrected the nonlinearity. No change.

AS CRJ 700 in MSFS 2020 using Honeycomb Bravo

Setting Flaps axis 0-100 does not work  

Setting Flaps axis -100-0-100 works but skips F30 as does FSUIPC 

After some more testing/hunting I found your new method in the FSUIPC7 user guide which now works.

I now have

FlapsSetControl=0
FlapDetents=Yes
FlapStarts=-16384,-11703,-6284,-3944,1154,12472
FlapEnds=-10933,-9266,-4361,-770,2533,16384

Thnk you for your help.

Ah, so you are using one of the bravo axes, not the flaps button itself. I'm surprised that setting to use Axis Flaps Set doesn't work though - didn't try on the Bravo, just on a spare axis on a device connected to my development machine. I may try this on the Bravo to see what is happening - it should work!

On the Bravo, you can also configure the flaps "lever", which operates on buttons, not an axis.
It is usually to assign this to the Flaps Incr/Decr controls, but that won't work for the CRJ - that only moves flaps in and out of the first position.

To control the flaps in the CRJ-700 with increments/decrements, you can use the lvar ASCRJ_FLAPS_SET, which can take values 0-5.
You can add the lvar to an offset, and then use the bravo flaps lever to increment/decrement the lvar offset value (between the 0 and 5 limits), which will update the lvar and change the flap setting.

Just tried on the Bravo and I can see the issue. Strange. I ended up with the following flaps detents set:

FlapStarts=-16384,-14384,-9485,-2213,4213,12213
FlapEnds=-14384,-9485,-2213,4213,11213,16384
