Adamski Posted April 22, 2022 Report Share Posted April 22, 2022 https://www.nzfsim.org/?smd_process_download=1&download_id=3241 I have an X-56 stick/throttle combo and often find that when panning around in external view (taking screenshots) I can't help moving the stick slightly - disturbing (or even de-activating) the autopilot. Also - my X-56 suffers from [the dreaded] "throttle creep", which is particularly bothersome with the FBW A32NX when it drifts out of one of the detents. These scripts are an attempt to lock/disable all flight controls (including throttle) when the autopilot is active. 1) AP_Freeze_ON ======================= Checks to see which A/P is enabled (GEN or FBW). If either is enabled, all controls axes are disabled (Offset 0x310A set to 255). 2) AP_Freeze_OFF ======================= Resets/enables all controls axes (Offset 0x310A set to 0). The scripts are mapped to separate switches on the throttle base, using the FSUIPC "Button & Switch Assignments": BUTTON 1 (toggles freeze to ON): Control sent when button pressed: Lua AP Freeze On Control sent when button released: Lua Kill AP Freeze OFF BUTTON 2 (toggles freeze to OFF): Control sent when button pressed: Lua AP Freeze OFF Control sent when button released: Lua Kill AP Freeze On IMPORTANT: For FSUIPC to be able to read the status of the FBW autopilot, the following two lines need to be added - either to fsuipc.ini or (if using profiles) to your FBW profile. Make backups of the original files! [LvarOffsets] 1=A32NX_AUTOPILOT_1_ACTIVE=UB0x66C0 After the first run, the size/position of the windows can be changed in the [ExtWindow] entry (x,y,size x,size y). [ExtWindow] Fixed Window Freeze ON=[30,30,130,56] Fixed Window Freeze OFF=[30,100,130,56] DISCLAIMER This is my first ever foray into LUA programming (!), so these scripts may be far from perfect - please use at your own risk! CREDITS 1) John Dowson for his patience. 2) Jason Fayre (the original author of the MyDisplay.lua script that was a starting point for mine. 3) Pete Dowson for the original FSUIPC. I can't imagine running any sim without it. ======================================================================= Adamski_NZ www.nzfsim.org 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
