Im on the way. Ive managed to find out how to assign a lua script to a keystroke via FSUIPC.

 

Ive written a script to set up my switches quickly however I didn't expect to have to hold the key down until all the switches had moved . . .but i do. No problem really but I thought a quick press would do it.

 

Have a look at my script and see if it shows why or anything else thats wrong.

 

ipc.writeUW("9400",1128)

 

ipc.writeUW("9400",1131)

 

ipc.writeUW("9400",1134)

 

ipc.writeUW("9400",1137)

 

ipc.writeUW("9400",145)

 

ipc.writeUW("9400",148)

 

ipc.writeUW("9400",151)

 

ipc.writeUW("9400",154)

 

ipc.writeUW("9400",1161)

 

ipc.writeUW("9400",1164)

 

ipc.writeUW("9400",442)

 

ipc.writeUW("9400",445)

 

ipc.writeUW("9400",448)

 

ipc.writeUW("9400",112)

 

ipc.writeUW("9400",115)

 

ipc.writeUW("9400",437)

 

ipc.writeUW("9400",424)

 

ipc.writeUW("9400",634)

 

ipc.writeUW("9400",639)

 

ipc.writeUW("9400",680)

 

ipc.writeUW("9400",685)

 

Thanks

Hello Graham,

 

 

Im on the way. Ive managed to find out how to assign a lua script to a keystroke via FSUIPC.

 

I'm not sure what you are asking here?

LINDA fullfills all your wishes about any functions for the iFly737.

Why do you do this work yourself?

 

 

Beside this I can't help you with this specific offsets, sorry

Linda is fantastic !

But I don't own enough switches :-( so I'm assigning keystrokes to move my switches.

 

I want one keystroke to move several switches at once so I made the LUA script above. I expected all the switches to move all at once but I have to hold the key down and wait for the switch clicking sounds from fsx to stop.

 

Just wondered why

 

Graham

Ah ok,

 

there is a much easier way if you create your own function in LINDA.

 

You have to edit the iFly module for this.

Enable LINDA develope mode, and open the iFlys module

 

Then insert (I would suggest you insert this on the very end of the LUA script) your wanted functions like this example:

 

function Example_Switch_All_Lights ()

GENERAL_LANDING_LIGHT_ON()
ipc.sleep(10)
GENERAL_RUNWAY_TURNOFF_LIGHT_ON()
ipc.sleep(10)
GENERAL_TAXI_LIGHT_ON()
ipc.sleep(10)
GENERAL_LOGO_LIGHT_ON()

end

 

 

The pause (ipc.sleep(10)) is recommended to let LINDA not struggle.

 

Like this example you can combine all functions you like and then assign this function to a keystroke via LINDA

Thanks very much I'm going to try this.

Will I be able to assign my function to a keyboard stroke in Linda too and not just hardware switches ?

Ok, it takes 2 or more presses to make all the switches move. Does that mean I need to increase the size of the sleep command ?

 

Thanks

Graham
