Hi All,Just wired up my landing gear switch using EPIC USB (v50) and got EPIC to recognize the switch position. The next step now is to communicate with FS2002 in order to actually move the gear handle. Can someone give some advice as to how to accomplish this using just EpicInfo and FSUIPC (without using a keystroke!)? Thanks.Cary

Hi!I recommend you to use FSCommunicator by Robert Fischer: www.flightsimulator.atIt has a nice GUI and you don't have to edit your FS2002.cfg nor install Epicinfo.dll. It will write all commands directly to FSUIPC.dll.In FsCommunicator you would define a variable and a action that e.g. manipulates the variable.In your EPL code you normally would use an enque command.ENQUE16(VXD-Command,VXD-Number)In FSCommunicator you will define for Gearcontrol the VXD-Number 1 (as ex. 1 here, you have to use a free VXD number). Your gear variable will write to offset 0xBE8 of FSUIPC. This is gear control. It has the an on value (gear is down) of 16383 and an off value of 0. To control this both states you have to use BtnOn command. BtnOn will switch to 16382 and write it to the offset and to retract the gear you use BtnOff and FSComm will write 0 to FSUIPC.here's a code::Gear_down{enque16(BtnOn,1)}//VXD number 1, command BtnOn->value=16382:Gear_down{enque16(BtnOff,1)}//VXD number 1, command BtnOff->value=0For further details read the docs for FSCommunicator.I think it's the most convenient way.regards,steve---------------------------------------------------------------------Do you know the A320 Flightdeck Project?

I am curious as to why it must be so complicated.If you don't want to use a keypress, define the gearswitch as analog button and tell FS that analog button 'x' works the gear.flying is more fun than coding :)
