Dave March Posted March 3 Report Share Posted March 3 Morning John, Following a reinstall of MSFS (long story) I am now unable to send a control event via my program to the PMDG 737, which worked flawlessly before. So I bypassed my prog and setup an event in FSUIPC to change the MCP altitude. I notice an exception error in the log and wondered if you could shed some light on what might be the cause. 596453 EV_KEYDOWN received: 0x59 (Y) 596453 KEYDOWN: VK=89, Waiting=0, Repeat=N, Shifts=0 596453 FS Control Sent: Ctrl=84137, Param=20000 <84137> 596453 .. This key is programmed in FSUIPC7 'Keys' options 596485 Exception 1 "ERROR", Ref 4628, Index param 2 on TransmitClientEvent, object=0, id=84137 (????), data=20000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave March Posted March 3 Author Report Share Posted March 3 Hold fire on this one... I suspect the issue is I'm using a very old version of FSUIPC (7.2.6). How the heck I installed that after the MSFS rebuild I don't know. Anyway, just about to check again with the latest version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

captain71 Posted March 19 Report Share Posted March 19 What does the Parameter tab mean? What does it affect and how to use it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is the parameter/value that is sent with the control. Some controls take a parameter, others not. The parameter should be pretty obvious many/most controls, but if you do not if an FS control/event tales a parmeter, or what that is, then you will need to look up the event in the Asobo documentation (e.g. see https://docs.flightsimulator.com/flighting/html/Programming_Tools/Event_IDs/Aircraft_Autopilot_Flight_Assist_Events.htm). For presets, the parameter is used to substitute the parameter placeholder (the '@' symbol or $Param) before sending the preset calculator code and applying it in the FS, Some Input Events also take parameters (always 64bit floats at the moment) others not - you will need to use logging to determine if a parameter is needed and what the value range of the parameter is. You also posted in a topic that has nothing to do with your question. Please don't hijack unrelated topics/posts - create a new one, with an appropriate title, if you have a question unrelated to other posts.
