Hello,

During the last few weeks i have tried, unsuccessfully, to write a program for my Overhead panel using the SDK NGX.

Since i know nothing about C++ i didn't manage to send values to the aircraft.

I hope this is the write place to write this: Could i find somewhere a document which explains how to write a simple program which get's buttons commands from a joystick and send it to the aircraft?

 

 

Thank you in advance,

Why don't use just use FSUIPC?

As far as i know i can use the FSUIPC only to receive information of the switch and not control it.

 

Am i wrong?

Explaining the details on how I do my calibrating would take some time, but a few hints to get you going would be LINDA, FSUIPC (and the lua scripts).

Use FSUIPC and control codes:

Here's a some switches on the NGX Overhead being controlled by physical switches my overhead. I use a joystick controller board for the hardware interface.

Very timely thread Pumpie1 (sorry but you didn't sign your post) as I am also just starting to get my overhead wired up through FSUIPC.

 

Shaun, excellent info - thank you. That helps me loads.
