    Ok, you win. 🙂

    I was not counting 5.0, only 5.1, but I was also counting the Combat Flight Sims, 1,2 & 3.

    I am reading the contents of Lvar 'ngx_SPDwindow' so I can display the aircraft's speed on an LED display in my control panel.

     

    This works fine for the 737, for both knots and mach speeds.

     

    However, for the 777, knots speed is fine, but the mach speed always returns me a value of '1', instead of say '.834'.

     

    I have also tried reading offset 0x6540, but I am unable to make sense of the values there.

     

    Any ideas?

     

    Chris.

    Ctrl-Shift-A - select ADF

     

    Repeat Ctrl-Shift-A - select digit

     

    + (Plus) or - (Minus) - change

     

     

     

    N - to select Nav1

     

    Repeat N - select Integers or Decimals

     

    (After selecting option to change press '2' for Nav2)

     

    + (Plus) or - (Minus) to change

     

    Hope this helps,

    Ah yes, I see what's happening.

     

    My mistake, it appears that setting these local variables is only triggering the animation.

     

    Not to worry though, we can use a mouse macro instead. Have you ever recorded one of these in FSUIPC?

     

     

    /*

    If you are not familiar with FSUIPC mouse macros then please read the Macro Controls / Mouse Macros section in the AdvancedUsers.PDF for FSUIPC. It explains it better than I ever could.

    */

     

     

    I brought up the appropriate NGX 2D panel using the [shift]7 key and recorded the following mouse macro by...

     

    Right Clicking IRSL

    Left Clicking IRSL

    Right Clicking IRSR

    Left Clicking IRSR

     

    Each action requires a name to identify it.

     

    I used:

     

    File Name: PMDG_IRS

     

    Right Clicking IRSL        Name:     irsl_cw

    Left Clicking IRSL          Name:     irsl_acw

    Right Clicking IRSR        Name:     irsr_cw

    Left Clicking IRSR          Name:     irsr_acw

     

     

    This was the contents of result file. "PMDG_IRS.MCRO"

     

     

     

    [Macros]
    Module="PMDG_737NGX.DLL"
    1=irsl_cw=RX273e0*X8bcc,31
    2=irsl_acw=RX273e0*X8bcc
    3=irsr_cw=RX27400*X8bcc,31
    4=irsr_acw=RX27400*X8bcc

     

     

    As before, these entries will then be available to select in FSUIPC - Buttons+Switches Tab. (No parameters will be required.) eg: PMDG IRSL: IRSL CW  etc.

     

    If you are using a momentary switch (push button) this will work fine, To go from Off to NAV, just press the button twice.

     

    However, if you use toggle switches as I do, ( that is: the switch is either On or Off,) then you can edit the macro file as so...

     

     

     

    [Macros]
    Module="PMDG_737NGX.DLL"

    1=irsl_cw
    1.1=RX273e0*X8bcc,31
    1.2=RX273e0*X8bcc,31

    2=irsl_acw
    2.1=RX273e0*X8bcc
    2.2=RX273e0*X8bcc

    3=irsr_cw
    3.1=RX27400*X8bcc,31
    3.2=RX27400*X8bcc,31

    4=irsr_acw
    4.1=RX27400*X8bcc
    4.2=RX27400*X8bcc

     

     

    This allows you to have more that one function to to a Macro action. In this case it just repeats the click action to simulate clicking twice.

     

    Note:

    I have not tried recording a Mouse Macro on one machine and copying it to another. If it works, it works, fine. If not, you'll have to record you're own macro on you're computer and make any necessary edits.

     

    I'm sure you be ok with this.

    I don't know about the Anti-Skid switch, I thought this system was just on and the Anti_Skid Inop light was just a warning to tell you it's broken.

     

    As for the IRS L & R switches, not a problem.

     

    I use LINDA for this. Too easy.

     

     

    if you don't want to use LINDA then you can use an FSUIPC MCRO file to set the relevant LVar. Still easy.

     

    How to do this in three easy steps...

     

    Step 1.

     

    Create a text file in your FSX\modules folder, and name to PMDG_737.MCRO

     

    Step 2.

     

    edit this file with notepad and insert the following three lines

     

    [MACROS]
    1=L:ngx_switch_255_a=SET
    2=L:ngx_switch_256_a=SET
     

    Step 3.

     

    save the file.

     

    That's it.

     

    NOTE:

                That's 255 IRS Left

                 and    256 IRS Right

     

    Then when you go into FSUIPC's Button + Switches Tab, you will see available  in the drop down list box entries for:

     

    PMDG 737:L:nxg Switch 255 A Set

    PMDG 737:L:nxg Switch 256 A Set

     

    The Parameter(s) you can use are:

    0   -  Off

    10  -  Allign

    20  -  Nav

    30  -  ATT

     

    So If you want your switch to set IRS L to Nav when on, and then Off when off, select...

     

    Control sent when button pressed

        PMDG 737:L:nxg Switch 255 A Set

            Parameter

                20

     

    Control sent when button released

        PMDG 737:L:nxg Switch 255 A Set

            Parameter

                0

     

    The same for IRS R ( but use: PMDG 737:L:nxg Switch 256 A Set)

     

     

    Hope this helps.

     

    Chris.
