mtjoeng Posted May 17, 2022 Report Share Posted May 17, 2022 How do I/what's the simplest to create PMDG events functions list/file/luas/mcro to assign in Fsuipc (I'm a bit confused and rusty) extracting is possible from LINDA PMDG action.lua, the ipc.control parameters for PDMG rotor brake (PMDG_EVT 66587) useful f.i.: PMDG_GLSD_MCP_AP_VNAV 38601 PMDG_GLSD_MCP_AP_LVLCHG 39101 PMDG_GLSD_MCP_AP_HDGSEL 39201 PMDG_GLSD_MCP_AP_LNAV 39701 PMDG_GLSD_MCP_AP_VORLOC 39601 PMDG_GLSD_MCP_AP_APP 39301 PMDG_GLSD_MCP_AP_ALTHLD 39401 PMDG_GLSD_MCP_AP_VS 39501 PMDG_GLSD_MCP_AP_CMDA 40201 PMDG_GLSD_MCP_AP_CMDB 40301 PMDG_GLSD_MCP_AP_CWSA 40401 PMDG_GLSD_MCP_AP_CWSB 40501 PMDG_GLSD_MCP_AP_TOGA 68401 PMDG_GLSD_MCP_AP_MASTER_on 40601 (toggle) PMDG_PED_ENG1_cutoff 68801 PMDG_PED_ENG2_cutoff 68901 etc I don't think I have to read the LVar state, just want push the button Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Dowson Posted May 17, 2022 Report Share Posted May 17, 2022 As I responded to your other post on this...are you sure that isn't for the P3D PMDG 737? As @adnanso pointed out in this post, you should look in this file for the MSFS Rotor Brake control parameters: ..\pmdg-aircraft-737\Documentation\PMDG\PMDG_NG3_VC_700.xml You can then assign to the Rotor Brake control with the appropriate parameter, or create a preset. Also check the MF preset list (https://hubhop.mobiflight.com/) as one may already be available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtjoeng Posted May 17, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2022 ..\pmdg-aircraft-737\Documentation\PMDG\PMDG_NG3_VC_700.xml is too complex the action.lua is a lot easier to extract from The parameters are from the yesterday released LINDA module Beta PMDG 737 for MSFS v0.3 (17 May 2020) action.lua "<X>:\FSUIPC7\LINDA\aircrafts\PMDG 737\actions.lua" https://www.avsim.com/forums/topic/618937-beta-pmdg-737-for-msfs-v03-17-may-2020/ by ScotFlieger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alternatively, if you want to use them as presets, you can create a file called myevents.txt, and add them as follows: PMDG_GLSD_MCP_AP_VNAV#38601 (>K:ROTOR_BRAKE) PMDG_GLSD_MCP_AP_LVLCHG#39101 (>K:ROTOR_BRAKE) ...etc Note however that most of these (if not all) already exist as MobiFlight presets but with different names: PMDG_GLSD_MCP_AP_VNAV === PMDG_B737_MCP_VNAV_SWITCH PMDG_GLSD_MCP_AP_LVLCHG === PMDG_B737_MCP_LVL_CHG_SWITCH ...etc These MF presets are not available in the current events.txt file included with FSUIPC7, but will be included in the next release (in the next few days). I've attached it below. John events.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtjoeng Posted May 19, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2022 Figured out how this events.txt file works (by comparing notes with the Mobiflight website). PMDG 737 is too WIP so some controls were missing but the solutions rather simple (if you know it it's simple) and added to the bottom of the events.txt f.i //PMDG/B737-700/MPNL PMDG_MPNL_AUTOBRAKE_inc#46007 (>K:ROTOR_BRAKE) PMDG_MPNL_AUTOBRAKE_dec#46008 (>K:ROTOR_BRAKE) //PMDG/B737-700/Additonal PMDG_GLSD_AP_P_reset#33901 (>K:ROTOR_BRAKE) PMDG_GLSD_AT_P_reset#34001 (>K:ROTOR_BRAKE) PMDG_GLSD_FMC_P_reset#34101 (>K:ROTOR_BRAKE) PMDG_GLSD_MCP_AP_BANK_inc#38902 (>K:ROTOR_BRAKE) PMDG_GLSD_MCP_AP_BANK_dec#38901 (>K:ROTOR_BRAKE) PMDG_GLSD_EFIS_FPV#36301 (>K:ROTOR_BRAKE) PMDG_OVHD_EXTLT_TURNOFF_LEFT_on#11501 (>K:ROTOR_BRAKE) PMDG_OVHD_EXTLT_TURNOFF_RIGHT_on#11601 (>K:ROTOR_BRAKE) This events.txt you said is going to be part of a next release. Please consider like Mobiflight does, to allow for a events.user.txt (or something) so to read a separate user added controls file. BTW the right modifier version FSuipc you let me test works like a charm, then again MSFS has the awful habit of having single key bindings 'bleed though' so most of right modifier bindings don't work because the single keystroke bleeds through, f.i. 12345..0 with right modifiers don't work for they will activate ATC option presses, and most alphabet do not either. The available somewhat 'free' keystrokes that work with rights bindings I found were F9 F10 F11 F12 ` ] [ \ ; mixed with RALT (fortunately Ralt works) RCTRL RSHFT this creates 60 something options for my Voiceattack PMDG macro commands, and I used them all.

Please consider like Mobiflight does, to allow for a events.user.txt (or something) so to read a separate user added controls file. This is already provided and is called myevents.txt - it is recommended to use thus file to add your own presets as the events.txt file will be updated/replaced when you re-install FSUIPC7. It is also recommended to submit any presets derived to the community-led MobiFlight HubHop preset list. Please see the Advanced user guide on using presets for details. 11 hours ago, mtjoeng said: BTW the right modifier version FSuipc you let me test works like a charm This was released yesterday in v7.3.4 (as well as including the latest MF events.txt file, amongst other updates/bug fixes). 11 hours ago, mtjoeng said: then again MSFS has the awful habit of having single key bindings 'bleed though' so most of right modifier bindings don't work because the single keystroke bleeds through, f.i. 12345..0 with right modifiers don't work for they will activate ATC option presses, and most alphabet do not either. Can you check this with the latest version as I think I have made further changes, but this does sound like an MSFS issue. If you don't want to use the MSFS key bindings, you can remove them - or set-up an empty profile for the keyboard as you would for other controllers if/when assigning in FSUIPC.
