Try download again.

Hmmm downloads don't seem to be active to me, I see 3 files on the google docs page but only the .txt is active ..... anyone else having this problem ?John

John, there's a small arrow right of the file. Click on it and select Download.Roar, thanks a lot, Will try tomorrow, my FSX just don't want to start again... Have to delete FSX.CFG and re-config. I'm too tired tonight... :-(

Yeah I knew about the arrows, wasn't that. I ended up emailing it to myself and that worked :sad:All installed and operational now. And working as expected Roar, thanks very much.Having done the inputs/outputs translation and working on this with Roar over the last few days ..... you guys are going to love it, it works well, very well in fact.Also a good idea to remove previous dross from the FSXFolderModules folder such as the .MCRO file and old .lua files, and clean up the [LuaFiles] section of FSUIPC.INI. And add n=Lua NGXMCP_202 to the [Auto] section. I tripped myself up by not noticing there's no full stop in that filename but is in the sioc .ssi filename.

well done . MCP is working with your script - perfect thank youbecause at this time is too late I am going to made some test fly next evening. But small test on ground is OK

Not quite, the SIOC script is the one thats different, not the lua. Yes my version of the SIOC for the EFIS, as we have the Plug&Play hardware, and my version of the SIOC is just a translation of Roarkr's original sioc script for the I/O card version.We all use the same lua script and it should be in the ...FSXFolder/Modules folderSoIn your sioc.ini[MASTERS]MASTER=0,7,1,nn nn=your device numberIn ModulesFSUIPC.INI[Auto]1=Lua PMDGNGX_OC_PP_EFand also in the Modules folderPMDGNGX_OC_PP_EF.lua.......... it should work :)

Hi Crankpin, that didnt work, I am confused now, and dont know what to test. Edited January 28, 2012 by Francky

Hi Crankpin, that didnt work, I am confused now, and dont know what to test.

Hi,Haven't followed your specific problem emails, but make sure that the configuration file in the Modules folder should be FSUIPC4.ini , NOT FSUIPC.ini. Just a shot from the hip.

[Crankpin 16]

Good spotting Roar on the 4 in FSUIPC4.ini my bad.Francky has a new OC EFIS , but just the EFIS no MCP. having setup issues.Hi FranckyCould you post a pic of SIOC running like BHA335 did n the previous page of this thread, it'll help us debug.If you make the jpg of that screen shot less than 200k it's pretty easy to attach to your post.

Thanks Roar, your script works very well. The only thing I noticed for now is that the Vertical Speed selction is inverted (positive rate when moving the wheel up and negative rate moving the wheel down).But very good job on the rotaries!
