Hallo Günter,I see you are not using macros for the new PMDG 737 NGX.Is it possible to use some of the lua-functions direct with FSUIPC.I have the Gear_up and Gear_down assigned to one axis of my Saitek-Throttle-Quadrant via FSUIPC.I love to move a handle to raise or lower the gear :-)

Hallo Roland, in other words, you'd like to use it as axis?With LINDA, axis are not supported, but you could of course "extract" parts of te LUA code for your needs and make a LUA file as it was in "pre-LINDA-times" Maybe have a look into the FSUIPC forum download sections where all my old scripts are and try it ith the parameter stuff and insert then the LINDA functions you need ...

You need the Gear off position too Guenter, otherwise you can get hydraulic pump overheat warnings I think, if you just leave the lever in the up position.

Gear off function is done and will be in the next update. Or you can just add it yourself:

function NGX_Gear_off ()	ipc.control(74184, 536870912)	ipc.control(74184, 131072)end

This is now impossible with LINDA. I was thinking about this problem already and all solutions I can find are not good. Still thinking about it. The eaiest way to the moment is to extract code from actions.lua to the separate Lua file and put it ino modules folder. Something like that: ngx_gears.lua

function NGX_Gear_up ()	ipc.control(70087, -2147483648)endfunction NGX_Gear_down ()	ipc.control(70087, 536870912)endfunction NGX_Gear_off ()	ipc.control(74184, 536870912)	ipc.control(74184, 131072)endif ipcParam == 1 then	NGX_Gear_up ()elseif ipcParam == 2 then	NGX_Gear_down ()elseif ipcParam == 3 then	NGX_Gear_off ()end

And then assign it with old-style FSUIPC method using "Lua ngx_geer" action with numeric parameters 1/2/3. Script is not tested, but it should work fine.

function NGX_Gear_off ()	ipc.control(74184, 536870912)	ipc.control(74184, 131072)end

Thank you Artem.

Hallo Günter,not directly as Axes, but with FSUIPC you can set areas of the controlleraxis to trigger events or funktions.@artem I tried this already with parts of the lua-script, as I have done it with Helges IFly737-script, that worked perfect, but it seems I've done something wrong.I will test.Thx to all for your support.

Unfortunately it does nothing.When I add a line like ipc.display("Hello") this lua-window comes up, so I can see fsuipc calls the right funktion.But I think I should better discuss this in Pete Dawsons forum, cause this is not a LINDA-Problem.

If function is really called, then there nothing left to not-to-work..The only doubt left is the variable's name. Replace ipcParam with ipcPARAM and try again.

YES SIR :-)))))It was case sensitive It works like a charm now.

Hi,after the last update of LINDA, my script to move the gear lever by one axis via FSUIPC doesn't work anymore.

function RP_NGX_GEAR_up ()    ipc.control(70087, -2147483648)endfunction RP_NGX_GEAR_down ()    ipc.control(70087, 536870912)endfunction RP_NGX_GEAR_off ()    ipc.control(74184, 536870912)    ipc.control(74184, 131072)endif ipcPARAM == 1 then	    RP_NGX_Gear_up ()elseif ipcPARAM == 2 then	    RP_NGX_Gear_down ()elseif ipcPARAM == 3 then	    RP_NGX_Gear_off ()end

Could this be related to the LINDA1.1B5-Update)What does this error mean?

Hi Roland,do you talk about the LINDA 1.1b5 and NGX module 2.0b?

Roland,If you trying to use this EXACT script, it should not work.Note, that your function name is "RP_NGX_GEAR_up" but when you call it you are using this name: "RP_NGX_Gear_up". Letter capitalization does matter.So, I have no idea how this script did work before latest LINDA update.

Tell me, why could a man be sometimes so blind :-)Artem you are right, i renamed the funktion and it works now.THXWhen I insert the DspShow-funktion, I get a error.Is it nor possible to use it outside of Linda, i.e. my script?

Is it nor possible to use it outside of Linda, i.e. my script?

no, that is a special LINDA function!(to bond our customers to strictly to LINDA )
