Connect CPFlight hardware to control Transponder

[VBV071]

Hi Guys,

I don't know if I should ask my question here, but I have to start somewhere.

We use Prosim to operate the CPFlight hardware and when I open the virtual pedestal I see that the transponder switch is properly configured and working in Prosim.

Our Sim is based on MSFS and I have the feeling that the tranponder mode does not work within MSFS (out of the box)

I am looking for a way to connect my CPFlight hardware (ATC737) to Ivao Altitude. I can adjust the squawk, but I can't change the transponder mode.

I have now read on: https://forum.simflight.com/topic/90446-transponder-offsbyonalttst/ that this should be possible via FSUIPC and that an offset is available for this.

now my question is where do I start to configure this offset?

Thanks in advance

I think you mean 'write to' or 'update' not 'configure'. It is FSUIPC that configures the offsets...

The  easiest way is to update an offset is to use the FSUIPC-added controls that write/update offsets, probably you want to use Offset Byte Set. But your device needs to be seen/visible to FSUIPC to use assignments. Otherwise  it may also be possible via lua if its a an HID-type device. 

Or of using the FSUIPC SDK (in your own software), you can just write/update the offset directly.
