Send an FSUPC Offset

Kconlon

Is it possible to directly set an offset value to a Bespoke Event?  I was looking at the LINDA scripring for PMDG77X and their LUA script sends a lot of  offsets.  
    I was thinking that until the SDK is released I could, minimally, get my PMDG EFIS controller to work.

Thanks

Hi Kevin,

Simple answer, no.

Last time I looked though, the offsets were just fsuipc's link to simconnect variables. FSX\modules\FSUIPC Documents\FSUIPC4 Offsets Status.pdf should help guide you.

To me, it appears that sending 69817 , <value> can change the efis mode.

function PMDG_EFIS_Mode_show ()
    ipc.sleep(10)
     CEfisMode = ipc.readLvar('switch_185_a')
     if CEfisMode == 0 then CEfisModeTxt = "APP"
     elseif CEfisMode == 10 then CEfisModeTxt = "VOR"
     elseif CEfisMode == 20 then CEfisModeTxt = "MAP"
     elseif CEfisMode == 30 then CEfisModeTxt = "PLAN"
     end
     DspShow ("Mode", CEfisModeTxt)
end

function PMDG_EFIS_Mode_inc ()
    ipc.control(69817, 256)
    PMDG_EFIS_Mode_show ()
end

function PMDG_EFIS_Mode_dec ()
    ipc.control(69817, 128)
    PMDG_EFIS_Mode_show ()
end

function PMDG_EFIS_Mode_ctr ()
    ipc.control(69818, 1)
    DspShow ("Mode", "Ctr")
end

function PMDG_EFIS_Mode_inc ()
    ipc.control(69817, 256)
    PMDG_EFIS_Mode_show ()
end

function PMDG_EFIS_Mode_dec ()
    ipc.control(69817, 128)
    PMDG_EFIS_Mode_show ()
end

function PMDG_EFIS_Mode_ctr ()
    ipc.control(69818, 1)
    DspShow ("Mode", "Ctr")
end

Is there a way to assign this to a bespoke variable then assign that bespoke value to an action of the GFEFIS?

Thanks

Kevin

Hi Kevin,

ipc.control values are simply simconnect events and the associated data. You can configure these directly onto controls or create Bespoke events.

ipc.readLvar are reading lavr values that you can do in detective and create a Bespoke event.

P.S.

The ipc.control value can be found in Detective. Just browse or search the events list in Detective to find the full name. E.g. 66100 is AP_VS_ON. 69817 and 69818 are custom events and should show up in detected events when the EFIS is used. If they don't let me know.

Best wishes
