AndyCYXU Posted September 27, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2022 so, I kind of figured out how to assign this to match my hardware regardless none of it work, the button assignments at pos 18+19 i just wrote manually could not find them anywhere, but they do correspond to correct joystick "G" and available buttons 5 and 4 on my joystick, position 17 actually is selectable from the list.

John Dowson Posted September 27, 2022 Report Share Posted September 27, 2022 You should not manually edit the ini and copy other peoples entries if you do nor fully understand what you are doing! First, make sure that you are using the latest release, 7.3.9, and if not please update. You can assign to the preset PMDG_B737-7_HGS_HUD_UP_DOWN_SWITCH as that exists in the events.txt file (provided by MobiFlight - see https://hubhop.mobiflight.com/presets/ for a list and search interface for presets). The other two presets that you tried to manually add, PMDG_PED_HGS_down and PMDG_PED_HGS_up, do not exist. You need to define them in a myevents.txt file before you can use them. You will need to add them to this file as: PMDG_PED_HGS_down#<x> (>K:ROTOR_BRAKE) PMDG_PED_HGS_up#<y> (>K:ROTOR_BRAKE) replacing <x> and <y> with the correct parameters for the Rotor Brake control that you see logged (one will be 97904 I guess, don't know about the other). Or ask the person that supplied them for the definitions of these presets and add them. They should really be submitted to MobiFlight for addition and be shared with the community. I suggest you read the section on presets in the Advanced User guide in the WASM section (in fact, better to read the entire WASM section!). Any further issues, please attach your FSUIPC7.log and FSUIPC7.ini files, not pictures. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Dowson Posted September 27, 2022 Report Share Posted September 27, 2022 FYI, 7.3.10 has also now been released, This contains a minor update that prevents general button/axes assignments to presets being lost, which looks like the issue you were experiencing. Please update to this version. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyCYXU Posted September 28, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2022 yes I did update.. assigned to the preset PMDG_B737-7_HGS_HUD_UP_DOWN_SWITCH to yoke button and it does nothing.. i could not get anymore info on how to get it to work, as for the other 2 presets yeah nothing no values to assign to x or y.. someone says it works using AAO.. whatever that is .. I guess it must be a secret. am i suppose to use some other program along FSUIP when I use this preset ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it must be a secret. It is no secret...just perform the operations in the VC with event logging activated, as you did before, and you should see the control and parameter logged, then use those. 4 hours ago, AndyCYXU said: assigned to the preset PMDG_B737-7_HGS_HUD_UP_DOWN_SWITCH to yoke button and it does nothing.. i could not get anymore info on how to get it to work I cannot help you with this if you do not show me your FSUIPC7.log and FSUIPC7.ini files, the former with logging for Buttons & Keys as well as Events activated. 4 hours ago, AndyCYXU said: am i suppose to use some other program along FSUIP when I use this preset ? You need the FSUIPC WASM module installed and the WAPI enabled, but that should already be the case, but your log files would tell me....

AndyCYXU Posted September 28, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2022 Thank you for your help. here is a very simple solution just in case anyone else is interested 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Dowson Posted September 29, 2022 Report Share Posted September 29, 2022 Thanks for posting the solution. Note that there is also a preset available for this: PMDG_B737-7_HGS_HUD_UP_DOWN_SWITCH If you select the Preset check box, you can assign to this preset instead. You mentioned this preset in your second post! John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
