Hello,I have an original EFIS and MCP (plug and play) andunfortunately I have the same experience as "sekos". Because I have a weak ability of programming than in this case I will have to wait for automatic setup from "open_cockpits" as we have had in FS9. I mean the "ssetup ". I hope that it will be soon.

hello,does anyone know what I need change in "sioc.ini" for corectly working. I have no idea what I must change.in SIOC monitor I can seeIDX=*.-IOCard-Efis - Device = 19IDX=*.-IOCard-MCP - Device = 17log........Loading SIOC Script :c:fs_utilSIOC PMDGNGX_OPENCOCKPITS_EFIS_PP1.ssiin sioc.ini[MASTERS]MASTER=0,4,1,17

BHA335Your display in sioc is strange.It should read IDX=1 (or 0, but anyway a number. This number should be used in your sioc.ini as the first number after master relating to that device, in example i put 0 for mcp and 1 for EFIS)in sioc ini under Masters writeMaster= 0,5,1,17Master=1,7,1,19The last number refers to the device id which you got from sioc. the 5 and 7 denote a prefab mcp and efisgood luckPS: see my previous post where referring to the txt instead of the ssi solved some of my problems. So give it a try and change you config file to the txt

Hi guys.KillerBee, yes thats about as good as my MCP is operating too, the 'mouse view' getting in there with the macros turning the knobs is driving me mad too...sometimes aaaagh. Not getting your AP disconnects though, I do have the AP Connect on the 'easy setting' that may be helping there.

I every one, I hae a problem, I have received an EFIS a few days ago, I am trying ti make it work with the NGX. I have downloaded the txt file, exchange the device id, compiled te file to obtain an ssi file.I then lauch FSX, and SIOC with the efis.ssi file. But under FSX the efis is not working, in FSUIPC there is no identification of the EFIS, can't use a macro or a function to the EFIS because of this.I have a gofliht mcp pro, so I am only interested by the efis.Could some one help me make this EFIS work ?Thank you.Franck

Franck, go back a page or two in this thread, username Roarkr gives you the FSUIPC and LUA files required, install as per his intructions. , then in one of my posts is a link for a Opencockpits Plug&play EFIS SIOC script that you need to use for your EFIS. You won't need to do anything in FSUIPC itself to set it up, thats all in the fsuipc ini and lua files roarkr gives you.John

My pitch inverted (green line on top, so something with FSUIPC)

Fred, just remove the key mapping for inverting the pitch in FSX. I had the same thing. Regarding the other issues, thi is also related to key mapping. I also had a few issues with Radar contact, and it went better when I removed the key mapping. Hopefully Roar will come soon with a new script not using keys, or the SDK will come out (fingers crossed) and will allow us to communicate with the NGX directly.Fabrice

Hi john thanks for your help, witch part of the FSUIPC.ini file is important because I will only use the EFIS, and my FSUIPC.ini file is already modified by others modification I did.I have already follow the installation, but it didnt work, will try again today see I get it to work.

I think that my problem is that I am not sure what to modifiy in the txt file.My ID device is 34, so in the script do I have to change :FO_JoyStick66 to FO_JoyStick34 Cancel everything about FO_JoyStick65 since I dont have another EFIS moduleIs that correct ?What is OFF1, does this mean that you dont have VOR1 nor ADF1 selected ?With off position I dont have any input on my EFIS module ( already built one from OC), I only have an input for VOR 1 and ADF1, so what value should I give.Franck

Ok forget about my last message, I have work a little bit and now the EFIS is recognize in FSUIPC as a joystick. I am beginning to understand how all this work, I have still a lot to learn but it keeps going on.The EFIS is still not working in the NGX, I have to give a look at the lua script to see if something i wrong there.

Hi FranckySomething to check.FSUIPC.INI file , in the [Auto] section, do you have ?[Auto]1=Lua PMDGNGX_OC_PP_EF (being your lua file name.)To get FSUIPC to run the lua on startup

Hi Crankpin, I havent put an [Auto] section in FSUIPC.ini because I have assigne a button to my Yoke to activate the script when I want.I have done further test, I can now run the EFIS with FSX standard B738, but still no chance with the PMDG NGX. I clearly dont know what to do more

BHA335Your display in sioc is strange.It should read IDX=1 (or 0, but anyway a number. This number should be used in your sioc.ini as the first number after master relating to that device, in example i put 0 for mcp and 1 for EFIS)in sioc ini under Masters writeMaster= 0,5,1,17Master=1,7,1,19The last number refers to the device id which you got from sioc. the 5 and 7 denote a prefab mcp and efisgood luckPS: see my previous post where referring to the txt instead of the ssi solved some of my problems.

yes you are right iDX is 1 and 0but I am still not successful activate a MCP and EFIS there is no action in FSXSo let me summarise my steps :1)I have inserted in sioc.ini :Master= 0,5,1,17Master= 1,7,1,192)I have downloaded file from "Crankpin" PMDGNGX_OPENCOCKPITS_EFIS_PP1.txt and changed in config_sioc into ssi file3) Downloaded file PMDGNGX_OPENCOCKPITS_EFIS_rev1.lua and copy into folder modules4) inserted[Auto]1=Lua PMDGNGX_OPENCOCKPITS_EFIS_rev1into FSUIPC4.ini5)Copy 737NGX_Shortcuts.txt to your \FSX\PMDG\PMDG 737 NGX\ folderso that is allPlease let me someone know what I did wrong

Hi BHA335I notice in the Devices section in your scrren shot that you are getting IDX=* meaning .. thats not working. We should see a number there.Your Masters section of Sioc.ini should look like this[MASTERS]MASTER=0,5,1,17MASTER=1,7,1,19but it does by what you say, and they are the only enries left in that MASTERS section ?So hmmm, do you have seperate 5v power going to both MCP and EFIS ? I also take it that FSX was not running when you made that screen shot there being no connection to FSUIPC, is that correct ?And a little news ... Roarkr is close to giving us a much better and simpler MCP sioc/lua solution that really works well this time so these things will get easier very soon.

Hi Crankpin, I havent put an [Auto] section in FSUIPC.ini because I have assigne a button to my Yoke to activate the script when I want.I have done further test, I can now run the EFIS with FSX standard B738, but still no chance with the PMDG NGX. I clearly dont know what to do more

Hi Francky.OK well done on getting it working with the default 738.I 'think' you do need the lua script run on startup via the [Auto] section..... so the program code is loaded and sitting there waiting for our events (button preses etc) to happen. I may be totally wrong there for which I'll apologise in advance but I think thats possibly whats happening.Overall the EFIS is easier to handle than the MCP and Roarkr scripts for it work well so I don't doubt we'll solve your issues
