Noted all. Rebooting.

Okay and Okay! :-) EDIT: Just saw the wrong ipc now, I changed it already to 65965 Check everything on that below. Offsets, ipc numbers, the joy id is good.

Number 2 engine reverse confirmed WORKING after the reboot. We need to slow the idle time some tho, maybe by half. So change the ipc sleep? Why is the 0x0924 worked and yours didn't? Are they not the same?

Old script shows this throttle2 = ipc.readSW(0x0924) Yes Joy 2,6 is correct for 2. I will make the change in the new script to match and report. Changing it 0x0924 still does nothing. I am beginning to think, its this whole auto event nonsense because these old luas worked when commanded by button release.

Yeah it was just the ! mark. This is number 2 function ThrottleToIdle_2() while true do throttle2 = ipc.readSW(0x088c) if throttle2 >= 0 then break --exit when no more reverse end ipc.control(65969) -- 65969 = throttle2 incr. Use 65970 for smaller increment ipc.sleep(200) end end event.button( 2, 6 , 2, "ThrottleToIdle_2")

Okay we are getting somewhere. It still doesn't work but I am getting a green bar on top of screen with ! in it. function ThrottleToIdle_3() throttle3 = ipc.readSW(0x09BC) ipc.writeSW(0x3380, throttle3); ipc.writeSW(0x32FA, 5); -- display end event.button( 0, 8 , 2, "ThrottleToIdle_3") Thats for throttle 3. No response for throttle 2 which is original from before.

Update will be made available soon?

Yes it is checked, all other aircraft work fine. It is something with how PMDG coded these new lights.

This was my Idle1.lua while true do throttle1 = ipc.readSW(0x088c) if throttle1 >= 0 then break --exit when no more reverse end ipc.control(65964) --65964 = throttle1 incr. Use 65965 for smaller increment ipc.sleep(300) -- adjust for speed of increase. 10mSecs = 100 per second end That lua was then commanded as a button release instruction in the buttons assign area in fsuipc under command to send when button release.

The ones that work are old ones from years ago, the ones we made still don't do anything

Al thanks again for all your help I really appreciate it, wow. Yes I know that works, that was my method a few years back. My Idle1-4.luas work now, and achieve a GRADUAL reduction of max rev to idle. My goal is to simulate a smooth reduction to idle instead of full reverse and immediate cut / slam to idle where the plan accelerates for a bit. Problem now is, fly a quad jet, too many button release instructions happen at once and they dont all get seen at the same time vs a 737 or 777 with 2 engines. This is why I contacted Pete and he advised what you have been helping me with thus far.

Negative, it's not until ur out of the detent and actually advance the thrust lever forward. Right now what happens is I command reverse. It activates, I move the lever out of the detente and the engine stays at max rev. It will stay there until the plane runs out of fuel.

The Saitek lever is an axis. When I pull back to the 1st stop that is idle and the end of the axis range. Pulling back into the detent presses the button for reverse. When done, moving it forward out of the detent releases the button into idle and in theory kills reverse. Simple as that.

I used this for throttle 2 throttle2 = ipc.readSW(0x088c) Do I still keep the bottom of the lua, with joy ID and button number? Right now I put exactly what you linked and thats all. No green bar, nothing.

Tried 737 and default King Air, Reverse stays right where its at, at max rev and doesn't move at all. Does the same command work for you?

Correct.

Yes that was just to test to see if it was doing anything by forcing it. Its cleared now. Still nothing.

Okay names match, rebooted, and still no response they remain in reverse thrust. IDK if it will help to state the obvois but who knows, does any of this change in P3D? I am using P3D v3.4 No Hotifx.

Now I did, editing the two long named ones now. Do I also edit the names in the Auto Section of the fsuipc.ini to match? Okay they are showing in FSUIPC now, and I reloaded all buttons. Still not doing anything the throttle though. I even assigned it in buttons to see if it did something when button was released and still nothing. So maybe theres an issue with the code in the script?

Okay Reloaded all buttons, Rebooted PC, and nothing :-/ If hypothetically I was to assign this lua as a button in fsuipc, it doesnt appear in the drop down with the rest of the others. Any reason why its not showing in the list even?

Heres a pic Its not keeping the formatting for whatever reason but it looks like your example in note pad. function ThrottleToIdle_3() while true do throttle3 = ipc.readSW(0x09BC) if throttle3 >= 0 then break --exit when no more reverse end ipc.control(65974)--65974 = throttle3 incr. Use 65965 for smaller increment ipc.sleep(300) -- adjust for speed of increase. 10mSecs = 100 per second end end event.button(throttle2 0, 8 , 2, "ThrottleToIdle_3") Does FSUIPC need to refresh somehow to see the newly added lua or sim reboot? BIG EDIT: Okay I found a typo in the lua, I had engine 2 in the joy button line for throttle 3. I tried throttle 2 in sim and it worked. It idled way too quickly tho so I need to adjust ipc sleep? I want to extend the idle time by double maybe a bit more.

Okay gonna try this quick with number 3 engine and report back in a couple minutes. Okay nothing is happening when the button is released. Okay this is in the FSUIPC.ini: [Auto] 1=Throttle_to_Idle_1 2=Throttle_to_Idle_2 3=Throttle_to_Idle_3 4=Throttle_to_Idle_4 I also noticed this section (.LUA FILES) [LuaFiles] 1=Idle1 2=Idle2 3=fsiaes1 4=fsiaes2 5=fsiaesns 6=fsiaesnsclr 7=testfsi 8=Idle3 9=Idle4 The newly created one is not listed. The one we are testing is titled: Throttle_to_Idle_3.lua

Okay understood, and from FSUIPC the button for engine 3 I checked was Joy 0 and Button number 8. So in the .lua simply putting 0 and 8 there is good? What is that number 2? This is for engine 3 and I added the auto section to the fsuipc.ini function ThrottleToIdle_3() while true do throttle3 = ipc.readSW(0x09BC) if throttle3 >= 0 then break --exit when no more reverse end ipc.control(65974)--65974 = throttle3 incr. Use 65965 for smaller increment ipc.sleep(300) -- adjust for speed of increase. 10mSecs = 100 per second end end event.button(throttle2 0, 8 , 2, "ThrottleToIdle_3")
