Approach and Lift Dump

Recommended Posts

You don't need both if you aren't interested in the speed brake.

You should be at the Button + Switches tab.  Push the button you want to use to deploy the Lift Dump.  You should see a joysitck number (could be zero) and a button number in the middle of the FSUIPC box.  On the right, check the box that says "Select for FS control".  Click the down arrow to the right of the box that says "Control sent when button pressed"  A menu of functions should pop up.  Right at the top of that list should be "390 Dump:L:ASD 390 LEVER LIFT DUMP Set".

Select that and enter 1 into the parameter.  How we doing?

Problem, I assume.  Do you want to build the macro from scratch?

 

Well....I guess I lost you.

It should not have ".txt" in the name.  It should be "390_Dump.mcro" (without the quotation marks). You can still open it with notepad, but it doesn't have ".txt" at the end of it.

hmmm it doesn't have .txt in the name but its still showing up as a TXT file...........

Scratch that yes it does......How did that happen I didn't add that??? I thought just putting the .mcro would change it no??

Let's build it from scratch.  Go to the desktop and right click.  Select "New" and "Text Document".  There should be a text document on your desktop named "New Text Document.txt"  Select the entire title and replace it with this...

390_Dump.mcro 

You will get a note from the computer whining about changing the extension.  Click "Yes"

Open the document and paste this into it.

[Macros]
1=L:ASD_390_LEVER_LIFT_DUMP=Set

Save it and place it into the same folder as FSUIPC4.dll.  Should be the modules folder in FSX or P3D.

Ok sounds like a plan.  Does it matter that my new text document opens in notepad?

That's perfectly OK. 

So I never got the whining about changing the extension part.......It let me name it that but kept it as a txt file :angry:

Another note.  You have to restart FSX/P3D each time you change a macro.  FSUIPC only loads properly formatted macros during simulator startup.  Changes made while the sim is running will not be loaded.

How do you know it's a text file? What tells you that?  Does it say ".txt" at the end?
