Saitek Proflight FSUIPC button programing

[rmhoman 20]

So, I don't have a set of rudder pedals. Just can't afford them right now. I do have A2A's 172 and have been using autorudder but want to get a little more control so I programmed buttons 6&7 on the yoke as my rudder buttons with auto center when released. I am wondering if there is anyway to slow the move back to center. Right now it slams back to center and is causing some issues.

You could do it with a Lua script that you would call from your button release event. This would just be a loop that winds your rudder back to the centre, maybe with some delays built in. Something like this:

local OFST_RUDDER = 0xBBA

local RudderPos = ipc.readUW(OFST_RUDDER)  -- Range -16383 to +16383

while RudderPos ~= 0 do
    if RudderPos < 0 then
        RudderPos = RudderPos + 1
    else
        RudderPos = RudderPos - 1
    end
    ipc.writeUW(OFST_RUDDER, RudderPos)
    if abs(RudderPos) % 16 == 0 then ipc.sleep(1) end  -- Delay 1ms, a maximum of (16384 / 16) times
end

This would centre the rudder from full deflection in about a second. I have not tried it so you will need to tinker!

hmm never thought of being able to do something like this. yeah I will give it a try. It is better than nothing. Thanks a bunch
