Note also that there were no profile-specific button assignments in your FSUIPC6.ini, and the general assignments only contain one button assigned to Pan Down.
Controllers are also set to On in P3D, so you seem to have almost all of your assignments in P3D, not in FSUIPC.

If you send / post any further logs, please disable logging for Events (non-axis controls) and Axis controls and set logging for Buttons & Keys instead.

 [QUOTE John] Why don't you try this?

I tried, and I have to say... you were right. I finally tested the entire “LuaSet F1MustangSwCtl.lua” package, which is a big step forward compared to Mustang Flight1, however I found some obstacles: 

1- THROTTLE CUTOFF. To turn off an engine, I set the Throttle to CUTOFF, but the engine does NOT turn off, the rpm go to minimum in IDLE but do not go to zero, in fact FUELBOOST does not turn off on the CAS-MSG. To turn off the engine I should act on DISENGAGE, but it is a subterfuge because this only cuts the electrical power, while CUTOFF cuts the fuel. 

2- STBY-AVIONICS and ENGINE-SYNC. I could not make them work in any way, so I programmed them with Mouse Macros. 

3- The START Buttons do not light up while they are working. These incorrect behaviors do not exist in the Mustang F1, nor in the Mustang True. My friend and consultant, who is a true pilot of true Mustang, confirms this to me. 

Do you have a solution to these Problems again? 

Thanks again. 

Giancarlo.

You could try sending a THROTLLE_DECR once in Idle.

Did you follow the instructions, e.g. you have to assign to the press AND release.

No - I do not have this aircraft and cannot look onto this.

Dear John. 

After many attempts, finally now THROTTLE CUTOFF also works perfectly, although unfortunately I did not understand why it did not work before. 

Now almost all Mustang.LUA commands work. Except AVIONICS and ENGINE-SYNC which I make work via Macro, and except the two STARTs which do not backlight when activated. 

For these reasons, and for other less important ones, I would like to be able to communicate directly with the programmer of Mustang.LUA, Mr. GC McMillen. Do you think you can give me his Email? 

[QUOTE John] No - I do not have this aircraft and cannot look onto this. 

Ok, even without having it you have done a lot for my understanding. 

Thanks again for everything. 

Giancarlo.

Did you follow the instructions in the la script when assigning to these?

Maybe it is @Glen McMillen? Last time he posted was in 2007 so I don't know if he is still monitoring these forums - he should receive a message now I have tagged him and he may respond here. I cannot give out emails, sorry, but you could also try sending him a (personal/direct) message via these forums.

I think YES. I've included the Assignments for the problematic ones (AVIONICS now works!). 

 

1) STBY INSTR (Does NOT work with Mustang.LUA. It works with MACRO.) 

FSUIPC: KeyPress / ProfSpec / Set / Shift+Alt+F12 / Throttle4 Set / Para=0 / Confirm 

MobiFli: eventID / Throttle4_Set / Use / 65823 / Press Para=1 Rel Para=0 

 

2) ENG SYNC (Does NOT work with Mustang.LUA. It works with MACRO.) 

FSUIPC: KeyPress / ProfSpec / Set / Ctrl+Alt+F4 / Throttle4 Set / Para=16 / Confirm 

MobiFli: eventID / Throttle4_Set / Use / 65823 / Press Para=326 / Rel Para=0 

 

3) LEFT START1 (&2) (Does NOT turn on the START light with Mustang.LUA! Does NOT create the MACRO!) 

FSUIPC: KeyPress / ProfSpec / Set / Shift+Alt+F5 / Throttle4 Set / Para=4 / Confirm 

MobiFli: eventID / TOGGLE_STARTER1 / Use / 66300 

 

Let me clarify that with the ClickMouse it works like this: 

I press the START button which lights up, the RPMs go from zero to IDLE in 16 seconds, the engine starts and the button loses its lighting. 

So since you can't create the Macro that Emulates the ClickMouse, the START Buttons never light up on the Cockpit.

He hasn't posted in almost 20 years! I don't think it's worth bothering him, assuming he's still interested in the subject. 

Also, since you tagged him, he might be the one to join... 

Thanks, as always.
