Configure ALT/VS display click spot via FSUIPC

[Humbie 0]

Hello,I'd like to switch between the output of the AP ALT and the AP V/S by using a keyboard shortcut. My first idea was to use FSUIPC but I couldn't find anything useful by using FSUIPC logging facillity. Has someone an idea how I could do this? I have attached a small picture to show what I mean. Thanks, Torsten

Do you have the registered version of FSUIPC? If yes, it can be done via a little LUA routine For my own use, I've changed the knob so that it turns via Mousewheeland switches when clicked.

I also changed mine. Showing both and with little indicator showing which one is active

Is it to much to ask if you can share this mod? Thanks,

I just swapped around the VS and ALT so that they equel the left side buttonto make VS active click on left top buttonto make ALT active click on left bottom buttonto increase the value of the active line click right side + or -the active indicator will have a little orange block next to the VS or ALT You can download herehttp://www.mediafire...v9jvr/GCCBc.cab Install instructionDownload the file. DO NOT unzip it. Take the file called GCCBc.cab file and add it to the "panel" folder of the carenado C208now open panel.cfg inside the panel folder of the C208 with notepad. scroll down till you get [Vcockpit02] section. It should look like this [Vcockpit02]Background_color=0,0,0size_mm=512,512visible=0pixel_size=1024,1024texture=$Panel_CARAV_2 gauge00=GCCB!Airspeed2, 10,3,165,165gauge01=GCCB!Attitude2, 182,3,155,164gauge02=GCCB!Altimeter2, 345,2,164,164gauge03=GCCB!Turn_Coordinator2, 5,172,171,170gauge04=GCCB!Directional_Gyro, 179,173,162,162gauge05=GCCB!Vertical_speed2, 344,172,167,167gauge06=GCCB!clock, 205,408,99,99gauge07=GCCB!suction, 104,408,99,99gauge08=GCCB!voltamp, 3,407,99,99gauge09=GCCB!Annunciator_Panel, 3,344,362,53gauge10=GCCB!fuelflow, 307,407,100,100gauge11=GCCB!Fuel_Quantity_Left, 410,408,100,100gauge12=GCCB!vs, 371,343,136,60 now change the gauge12 entry (in red above) to be like this below gauge12=GCCBc!vs, 371,343,136,60 (you only add a little c behind the GCCB and before the !..)SAVE Open FSX and enjoy

Thank you Bliksimpie! That is a nice little touch, perfect for that autopilot.

Hi, Sorry that I didn't react on your response. I was a little busy and had no time to check the forum. Regarding your FSUIPC question: Yes, I have a registered version and I'm already using LUA scripts for my JS41. Thanks for sharing the cab file. It looks better then switching around between ALT and VS :) Regards,Torsten

Very nice solution. I picked up your file, but i can not save PANEL.CFG after adding c to the line ( not authorized).Can you help me? Michael

Hi Modena,I assume you are using Vista or Windows 7. Open the editor you are using as administrator (right click on the icon and select run as adminstrator). Also check, if the file has only read permissions (rigth click on the file and properties),Hope that helps.Regard,Torsten
