John Dowson Posted May 22, 2022 Report Share Posted May 22, 2022 15 hours ago, Cuantreau said: Hello John, I tried with the PMDGAutoBrake.lua you provided, can't seem to make it to work. This is what I'm doing. Copy the .lua to FSUIPC install folder, edit it by replacing myJoynum with A (which is the letter shown when I press the button I wish to assign in fsuipc with running sim), replace myRtoButton with 30, myOffButton with 31, etc. Then look for the PMDGAutoBrake.lua from Select for FS Control ticked and find it in "control sent when button pressed" section. But the rotary switch I use is not responding to that. What am I doing wrong here? Thx. First, use the number for your device - I suspect that it is 0, but you can confirm by looking at the joy letter / id mapping in the [Joy\names] section of your FSUIPC7.ini. Second, the lua must be auto-ran - add it to your [Auto] section, or, better still, your [Auto.xxx] section (where xxx is the name of the profile you use for the PMDG 737). You do not need to make any assignments to the lua. Anu issues, activating logging for Lua Plugins and show me your FSUIPC7.ini and FSUIPC.log files. 17 hours ago, mtjoeng said: I think a 0-state read is missing in the latest LINDA file at the moment, only inc dec work (I notified on the forum) Not 100% sure what this means, but looks ok to me. keep this thread updated if you hear anything, thanks.

Why don't you consult the documentation if you do not know how to use a facility before posting.... The correct format should be: [Auto.PMDG 737-700] 1=Lua PMDGAutoBrake In your lua file,why didn't you just change the variables at the top of the file? Doesn't really matter, but you didn't change the last event.button call: Quote event.button(4, 30, "PMDG_MPNL_AUTOBRAKE_RTO") event.button(4, 31, "PMDG_MPNL_AUTOBRAKE_OFF") event.button(4, 132, "PMDG_MPNL_AUTOBRAKE_1") event.button(4, 133, "PMDG_MPNL_AUTOBRAKE_2") event.button(4, 134, "PMDG_MPNL_AUTOBRAKE_3") event.button(myJoynum, myMaxButton, "PMDG_MPNL_AUTOBRAKE_MAX") That last one should probably be: event.button(4, 135, "PMDG_MPNL_AUTOBRAKE_MAX")\ Any further issues, try looking at the documentation first, and also check your log file (you can add appropriate logging) which should tell you what is happening.

737Andi Posted May 25, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2022 Hi John, thanks for taking the time to write this script. Unfortunately it does not work for me 😞 I placed it inside the main FSUIPC7 folder and added the following part to my fsuipc7.ini file. [Auto] 1=Lua PMDGAutoBrake Then I changed the script header to the following.. -- ## Auto Brake local PMDG_EVT = 66587 -- -- Change the following to match your joysyick and button numbers -- local myJoynum = A local myRtoButton = 0 local myOffButton = 1 local my1Button = 3 local my2Button = 4 local my3Button = 5 local myMaxButton = 7 Since my joynames section contains this I tried it with letter "A" and number "0".

Can you activate logging for Buttons & Keys, Events and Lua Plugins. Then generate a log (full please, not a continuation) where you press each of your buttons assigned to the autobrake positions, in turn. Then exit FSUIPC7, and show me/attach your FSUIPC7.log, FSUIPC7.ini and PMDGAutoBrake.lua files. I will take a look at them tomorrow. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuantreau Posted May 25, 2022 Report Share Posted May 25, 2022 Andy, even though I appreciate John's help with this, couldn't get it to work myself either. But what worked flawlessly for me was to enable WASM and selecting the presets. This is done like this: open FSUIPC app, right click on the FSUIPC system in tray icon, show, add-ons, WASM and enable it. Close FSUIPC. Open the sim and fsuipc (if it has not opened automatically). Start a flight. Go to fsuipc buttons and swithces, rotate your rotary button for example to the left and then choose PMDG_B737-7_ANTISKID_RTO_POS_SW,0 Do the same for PMDG_B737-7_ANTISKID_OFF_POS_SW,0 etc... Done, that easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there are presets available then using those is certainly preferable to using lua...,I missed them in the preset list as they are called ANTISKID and not BRAKE... The lua script also requires the WASM to be enabled, as it is using lvars... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, I did not. Don't forget that after enabling WASM the way i explained, you have to close the sim, be sure FSUIPC closes too and run both again to get WASM enabled.

This is not necessary - just disconnect and re-connect from the MSFS menu (in FSUIPC7). But, in the latest releases, the WAPI is enabled by default, so you only need to enable if explicitly disabled.
