Best regard

In the Button and Switch Assignments area, I have programmed some switches for:

Adf 1 Dec

Adf 1 Inc

Adf1 Radio Swap.

 

This has generated some texts within FSUIPC7.ini which appear like this:

[Buttons]
PollInterval=25
ButtonRepeat=20,10
2=PB,0,C65668,0     -{ADF_1_DEC}-
3=PB,1,C65650,0     -{ADF_1_INC}-
4=PB,18,C66741,0     -{ADF1_RADIO_SWAP}-

Up to this point, everything works well and the buttons do their job and on the plane's ADF panel, they change without problem.

What I want is to take this information to a variable that could start in 66C0 so that I can read it with the Opencockpits SIOC program to present it on an LCD display

I have created a file called myOffests.txt inside the FSUIPC7 folder and written the following information inside that file:

// offset, size, simvar, type, units [, w]
0x66C0, 1, ADF_1_DEC, Bool, Bool, w
0x66C1, 1, ADF_1_INC, Bool, Bool, w
0x66C2, 1, ADF1_RADIO_SWAP, Bool, Bool, w

But it does not work. I don't know if I need to put some extra information in the FSUIPC7.ini, such as:

[myOffsets]
1=myOffsets

I have programmed many events in SIOC and they work fine, but I cannot get this information that I need. If you can please help me with this project, I would be very grateful.

What information? If you want the ADF information, this is already held in offsets - search the Offset status document for ADF.

That will never work... The myOffsets.txt file is for adding simvars (or A-type variables) to offsets. Those are FS events/controls and do not have an associated value.

Thanks for your kind reply. I'm still lost.

How can I create a variable in FSUIPC7 so that it can be read through the Opencockpits SIOC through LeoBodnar switches.

For example, the variable 66C0 that detects if a switch was used through LeoBodnar in which it writes a 1 or a 0 and this is read taking the address 66C0 to be used in the Opencockpits SIOC.

Maybe you can show me an example. Thank you so much.

Why do you need to create a variable? You can just write whatever you want to a (free for general use) offset. You can write to offsets using either the provided offset controls or lua. If you want to create a variable, then create an lvar, but I do not understand why you would want to do this.

0x66C0 is an offset, not a variable. Please do not confuse the two. If you want to write 1 to the offset (or maybe toggle between 0 and 1) when a switch/button is pressed, then assign the switch/button/whatever to an offset control, such as Offset Byte Set or Offset Byte Togglebits. You can overload your assignments if needed, so the button/switch can also send other controls/perform some other function as well as changing an offset value.

Please note that I am on holiday now, and will not responding further until January. Please use the provided documentation and these forums - all the information you need is there somewhere, although it can be difficult to find...
