marcelo meirelles Posted November 13, 2022 Report Share Posted November 13, 2022 Hey!! I have a doubt: I would like to assign key commands to these Boeing 737 keys, but I can't find the names! Following the 2 photos, they would just be: photo 1 - put fsuipc function to position - GND, OFF, CONT, FLT. Photo 2 - put the fsuipc function of the levers that inject fuel 1 and 2 for idle and cutoff If I have the names I can configure!!!! thank you very much! marcelo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keys? What keys? What 737 are you using? PMDG? The name/function associated to a switch/button/control is usually shown in a pop-up when you position the mouse over it in the VC (depending on your settings)..the first is ENGINE START LEFT and the second ENG 1 START and ENG 2 START. If using the PMDG 737, the left start knob can either be controlled with the lvar L:switch_119_73X with GND=0, OFF=10, CONT=20, FLT=30, or using the preset PMDG_B737_ENGINE_START_LEFT_KNOB. For the cut-off levers, you can use presets PMDG_B737-7_FUEL_CUT_OFF_LEVER1_UP, PMDG_B737-7_FUEL_CUT_OFF_LEVER1_DN, PMDG_B737-7_FUEL_CUT_OFF_LEVER2_UP and PMDG_B737-7_FUEL_CUT_OFF_LEVER1_DN.

marcelo meirelles Posted November 14, 2022 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2022 Hi John, thank you very much for the reply. Yes, I am using PMDG. I couldn't find the name you mentioned in the list of presets: PMDG_B737_ENGINE_START_LEFT_KNOB I only found it in the PMDG_B737_ENGINE_START_LEFT GRD preset (the one that turns the left motor) I believe this one works. The fact is that I didn't find the PMDG_B737_ENGINE_START_RIGHT GRD in the preset list - which in theory makes the engine run right. You seeing the photo attached you will see that it does not exist (only the left side) You also gave me this option, but honestly I have no idea how to do it, the preset is easier for me! Can you help me find the PMDG_B737_ENGINE_START_RIGHT ? Thank you very much !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Dowson Posted November 14, 2022 Report Share Posted November 14, 2022 Yes, it seems that even though that preset is listed (https://hubhop.mobiflight.com/presets/) it is not exported to the events.txt file...strange, but this is a question for MobiFlight... However, you can see the controls for the left knob in that screenshot: PMDG_B737-7_ENGINE_START_LEFT_ROTARY_SWITCH_CONT_POS PMDG_B737-7_ENGINE_START_LEFT_ROTARY_SWITCH_FLT_POS PMDG_B737-7_ENGINE_START_LEFT_ROTARY_SWITCH_GRD_POS PMDG_B737-7_ENGINE_START_LEFT_ROTARY_SWITCH_OFF_POS and there are matching presets for the right knob: PMDG_B737-7_ENGINE_START_RIGHT_ROTARY_SWITCH_CONT_POS PMDG_B737-7_ENGINE_START_RIGHT_ROTARY_SWITCH_FLT_POS PMDG_B737-7_ENGINE_START_RIGHT_ROTARY_SWITCH_GRD_POS PMDG_B737-7_ENGINE_START_RIGHT_ROTARY_SWITCH_OFF_POS John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Dowson Posted November 14, 2022 Report Share Posted November 14, 2022 And for the cut-off, there are also these: PMDG_B737_ENGINE_START_LEFT_LEVER_CUTOFF#68802 (>K:ROTOR_BRAKE) PMDG_B737_ENGINE_START_LEFT_LEVER_IDLE#68801 (>K:ROTOR_BRAKE) PMDG_B737_ENGINE_START_RIGHT_LEVER_CUTOFF#68902 (>K:ROTOR_BRAKE) PMDG_B737_ENGINE_START_RIGHT_LEVER_IDLE#68901 (>K:ROTOR_BRAKE) as well as PMDG_B737-7_FUEL_CUT_OFF_LEVER1_DN#(L:switch_688_73X) 0 == if{ 68801 (>K:ROTOR_BRAKE) } PMDG_B737-7_FUEL_CUT_OFF_LEVER1_UP#(L:switch_688_73X) 100 == if{ 68801 (>K:ROTOR_BRAKE) } PMDG_B737-7_FUEL_CUT_OFF_LEVER2_DN#(L:switch_689_73X) 0 == if{ 68901 (>K:ROTOR_BRAKE) } PMDG_B737-7_FUEL_CUT_OFF_LEVER2_UP#(L:switch_689_73X) 100 == if{ 68901 (>K:ROTOR_BRAKE) } Not sure why there are duplicates or why they are slightly different...suggest you try both/all to see which work, John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcelo meirelles Posted November 14, 2022 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2022 (edited) Unfortunately in the fsuipc presets list, I didn't find these names. I found it on Hubhop. I searched and found it the fact is that I have no idea how to insert this in fsuipc. If it's through the codes: 0 (L:switch_121_73X) - 10 div s0:1 l0 0 > if{ 12107 (>K:ROTOR_BRAKE) l0 -- s0 g1 } l0 0 < if{ 12108 (>K:ROTOR_BRAKE) l0 ++ s0 g1 } I don't know where to insert and assign a key How can I achieve this? By FSUIPC, these commands do NOT appear: PMDG_B737-7_ENGINE_START_LEFT_ROTARY_SWITCH_CONT_POS PMDG_B737-7_ENGINE_START_LEFT_ROTARY_SWITCH_FLT_POS PMDG_B737-7_ENGINE_START_LEFT_ROTARY_SWITCH_GRD_POS PMDG_B737-7_ENGINE_START_LEFT_ROTARY_SWITCH_OFF_POS and there are matching presets for the right knob: PMDG_B737-7_ENGINE_START_RIGHT_ROTARY_SWITCH_CONT_POS PMDG_B737-7_ENGINE_START_RIGHT_ROTARY_SWITCH_FLT_POS PMDG_B737-7_ENGINE_START_RIGHT_ROTARY_SWITCH_GRD_POS PMDG_B737-7_ENGINE_START_RIGHT_ROTARY_SWITCH_OFF_POS These YES appear in fsuicp PMDG_B737_ENGINE_START_LEFT_LEVER_CUTOFF#68802 (>K:ROTOR_BRAKE) PMDG_B737_ENGINE_START_LEFT_LEVER_IDLE#68801 (>K:ROTOR_BRAKE) PMDG_B737_ENGINE_START_RIGHT_LEVER_CUTOFF#68902 (>K:ROTOR_BRAKE) PMDG_B737_ENGINE_START_RIGHT_LEVER_IDLE#68901 (>K:ROTOR_BRAKE) Edited November 14, 2022 by marcelo meirelles My mistake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Dowson Posted November 15, 2022 Report Share Posted November 15, 2022 Could you please read the section on using presets in the Advanced User manual, under the WASM section. This should tell you everything you need to know about using presets. 15 hours ago, marcelo meirelles said: By FSUIPC, these commands do NOT appear: PMDG_B737-7_ENGINE_START_LEFT_ROTARY_SWITCH_CONT_POS PMDG_B737-7_ENGINE_START_LEFT_ROTARY_SWITCH_FLT_POS PMDG_B737-7_ENGINE_START_LEFT_ROTARY_SWITCH_GRD_POS PMDG_B737-7_ENGINE_START_LEFT_ROTARY_SWITCH_OFF_POS and there are matching presets for the right knob: PMDG_B737-7_ENGINE_START_RIGHT_ROTARY_SWITCH_CONT_POS PMDG_B737-7_ENGINE_START_RIGHT_ROTARY_SWITCH_FLT_POS PMDG_B737-7_ENGINE_START_RIGHT_ROTARY_SWITCH_GRD_POS PMDG_B737-7_ENGINE_START_RIGHT_ROTARY_SWITCH_OFF_POS Yes they do! You need to scroll down further, and note that they start with PMDG B737-7 and not PMDG B737. Also, make sure that you are using the latest version of FSUIPC, 7.3.14. All MF presets are stored in a file called events.txt, and this is only updated when I release a new version of FSUIPC7. For new presets (added after an FSUIPC release), you can either download the latest events.txt file from the MF Hub-Hob site (you will need to register and sign-in to do this), or add them yourself.
