AVIONICS_MASTER_SET recursive command

[Sandy R]

I am setting up a home cockpit and turned on event logging to determine what is being done during certain mouse clicks. However I see that the AVIONICS_MASTER_SET command is being issued recursively (approximately once per second). I cannot find what is driving it!

I have this command assigned to a switch within the cockpit and have verified that this switch works (its set with a parm of '0' so I can differentiate between when the switch is set and the recursive command is coming in.)

First, it is always helpful if you can specify which aircraft you are using if you have an issue with a specific aircraft...

This could be due to one of several reasons:

1. You have an assignment to AVIONICS_MASTER_SET in MSFS to an 'always on' button on your controller. Check your MSFS assignments- i recommend creating an empty profile for your controllers in MSFS if using FSUIPC for your assignments, but it is also ok to have some assignments in FSUIPC and others in MFS.

2. This is just an event that is continually send  from the aircraft model. Many aircraft in MSFS continually emit certain events, which are different for each aircraft. For such events, you can ignore them in FSUIPC's logging function by using the DontLogThese ini parameter, which can go in your [General] section or in a [Profile.xxx] section, which is better as such events are aircraft-specific.

3. You have this assigned in FSUIPC on repeat - although from what you say, I doubt this is the reason.

Thank you for the pointers.

I use FSUIPC for all control inputs so already have empty MSFS assignments set up. This was worth checking again though as every time a new download comes from MS a few assignments seem to sneak back into the MSFS' controller definitions!

The Aircraft is the Flying Iron Mk IXc Spitfire and it looks like that is where the event is being triggered. - I tried switching to one of the default MSFS aircraft and the events stopped.

Mystery Solved

Is there a more detailed write up on how and where I set up the DontLogThese parameter?

Thanks

Yes of course - as with all ini parameters, they are documented in the Advanced User Guide.

Yes, I also see that with this aircraft, logged every second or so with a parameter of 1. I also get many TAXI_LIGHTS_ON events logged, around 80 of these per second...!

Thanks for the help - happily I am not getting the Taxi_Lights_On event.

I shall have to get a copy of the user guide on to my laptop cos its almost impossible to read anything useful like this on the big curved projected screen that my flightsim (and FSUIPC) lives on. Who'd have thought going large actually made life tougher!
