July 22, 20169 yr Hey guys I use the saitek multi panel, most of the functions work however I want to be able to somehow map the saitek modes as follows but not sure if its possible so let me know. Saitek HDG to Lear HDG Saitek NAV to Lear NAV Saitek IAS to Lear SPD Saitek ALT to Lear ALT SEL Saitek VS to Lear VS Saitek APR to Lear GS Again not sure if its possibe. Anyone else your the multi panel with the lear?
July 22, 20169 yr Do you use SPAD and have a registered version of FSUIPC? With that you can map the panel buttons to virtual joystick buttons and assign anything to them via FSUIPC.
July 22, 20169 yr Author Do you use SPAD and have a registered version of FSUIPC? With that you can map the panel buttons to virtual joystick buttons and assign anything to them via FSUIPC. Do you have it set up? Im lost, just starting with the ALT button on the the Saitek panel, I want it to turn on the lear ALT SEL, in SPAD I go to setup/buttons/ALT, fsuipc Virtual Button is checked and it says Virtual Joystick 64, Virtual Button 0, not sure what to do in fsuipc

July 23, 20169 yr Do you have it set up? Im lost, just starting with the ALT button on the the Saitek panel, I want it to turn on the lear ALT SEL, in SPAD I go to setup/buttons/ALT, fsuipc Virtual Button is checked and it says Virtual Joystick 64, Virtual Button 0, not sure what to do in fsuipc I only have the Switch Panel, not the Multi Panel, but with that my setup is e.g.: SPAD/Default.ini: [SwitchPanel1] SwitchSELSTARTOn=VButton,64,5 SwitchSELSTARTOff=None SwitchSELOFFOn=VButton,64,1 SwitchSELROn=VButton,64,2 SwitchSELLOn=VButton,64,3 SwitchSELALLOn=VButton,64,4 SwitchSELOFFOff=None SwitchSELROff=None SwitchSELLOff=None SwitchSELALLOff=None SPAD/C337.ini: [SwitchPanel1] SwitchSELSTARTOn=VButton,64,5 SwitchSELSTARTOff=None SwitchSELOFFOn=VButton,64,1 SwitchSELROn=VButton,64,2 SwitchSELLOn=VButton,64,3 SwitchSELALLOn=VButton,64,4 SwitchSELOFFOff=None SwitchSELROff=None SwitchSELLOff=None SwitchSELALLOff=None SwitchDEICEOn=VButton,64,6 SwitchDEICEOff=VButton,64,7 SwitchPANELOn=VButton,64,8 SwitchPANELOff=VButton,64,9 I'll take the global Magneto selector switch and the = C337-specific panel light switch as an example, in FSUIPC4 I have configured: FSX/Modules/FSUIPC4.ini: [Buttons] ...other buttons... 42=P64,4,C66027,0 -{MAGNETO_START}- 43=P64,3,C66026,0 -{MAGNETO_BOTH}- 44=P64,2,C66025,0 -{MAGNETO_LEFT}- 45=P64,1,C66024,0 -{MAGNETO_RIGHT}- 46=P64,0,C66023,0 -{MAGNETO_OFF}- FSX/Modules/Profiles/C337.ini: [Buttons] ...other buttons... 13=P64,7,Cx06000D0C,x0220 ; Panel+Cabin Light -{offset word setbits, offset 0D0C}- -{offset word setbits, offset 0D0C}- 14=P64,8,Cx0A000D0C,x0220 ; Panep+Cabin Light -{offset word clrbits, offset 0D0C}- -{offset word clrbits, offset 0D0C}- Beware that the button numbers in SPAD's ini files are 1...n, while in FSUIPC they are 0...n-1, but I think SPAD's GUI interface already shows these identical to FSUIPC. Now you have to find out, which FSX controls, which FSX offsets, or which L-vars are used in the Lear to control the auto pilot. The folder FSX/Modules/FSUIPC Documents/ might contain the corresponding information in the files "List of FSX and P3D controls.pdf" and "FSUIPC4 Offsets Status.pdf". Using controls would be the best, here are all controls with "AP PANEL": 65798 AP PANEL HEADING HOLD 65799 AP PANEL ALTITUDE HOLD 65890 AP PANEL VS HOLD 65891 AP PANEL SPEED HOLD 65915 AP PANEL MACH HOLD 66103 AP PANEL ALTITUDE ON 66104 AP PANEL ALTITUDE OFF 66105 AP PANEL ALTITUDE SET 66106 AP PANEL HEADING ON 66107 AP PANEL HEADING OFF 66108 AP PANEL HEADING SET 66109 AP PANEL MACH ON 66110 AP PANEL MACH OFF 66111 AP PANEL MACH SET 66112 AP PANEL SPEED ON 66113 AP PANEL SPEED OFF 66114 AP PANEL SPEED SET 66115 AP PANEL VS ON 66116 AP PANEL VS OFF 66117 AP PANEL VS SET 66353 AP PANEL SPEED HOLD TOGGLE 66354 AP PANEL SPEED ACQ TOGGLE 66356 AP PANEL MACH HOLD TOGGLE 66357 AP PANEL MAX SPEED TOGGLE 66358 AP PANEL CRUISE SPEED TOGGLE But I would assume that SPAD (or SPAD:Next, if you want to use that) already maps most (or if you are lucky, all) of them correctly, unlike the default Saitek drivers, which I recommend disabling in exe.xml (just change "<Disabled>False</Disabled>" to "<Disabled>True</Disabled>", or remove the block), or alternatively uninstalling from your system. Edit: I just remembered this thread: Replacing Lear35A Mouse Clicks with Keys or Buttons So the regular controls do not work, but you can map ark's lua scripts to the virtual joystick buttons.
