HBE66

ups, actually i ment LBS and not GAL :(

darn, loading the C172 first and then the B737 didnt help <_<still got the same issue

nope, no changes made to the b737, its as blank as it comesand i dont have similar issues with other aircraftsill give the C172 a try atleast it fixes several other issues with other non-standard-aircrafts

does anyone here actually use the B737¿ :(

im quite confused with the standard fsx b737-800 fuel system.i started a flight with about 8000gal in the center fuel tank and 900gal (each) left and right tankfuelpumps are both on and idle and i have tried with x-feed open aswell as closedbut the 737 seems to only take fuel from 1 tank... it doesnt touch the other nor the center tank(both engines are running yes)so with the 900gal at takeoff, it only lasts me to about 3000ft and the engines turn off =(has someone got a clue why? and/or how i can actually use the other two tanks toothank you!

theres a setting (checkbox) in the fsx options to display tail numbers, by standard i think this is turned off

thanks andy, ill add that to my pageand im glad your happy danira =)

i finally got a solution, if any one is interested see hbe66.com

alright ill see to get it handled somehow...and bring up any results for other js41 fans to enjoy =)thank you

ok, sounds reasonablebut how did that work that i got the alt to 10000 on the panel, with peter dowsons lua plugin?is there maybe a way to just set the altitude on the panel?from there on id just need to find out how the alt knob reacts egsactly and should be able to handle itif i just startup fsx without using serial fp2 i get the alt on 10000 on both, panel and fsxbut as soon as i turn on serial fp2 (on fsx standard aircraft) it changes the alt to 4000 on the panel

ive updated it a little bit, with seting the action for the release action of the altitude knob helpsbut it still comes to unsynchronized values on panel comared to fsx - think i still need something to synchronize the valuesand it already starts with panel alt 4000 and fsx alt 10000 when starting up everythingi found a lua plugin from pete dowson that helps synchronizing the values on startupbut everything else wont work properly anymoreand i couldnt extract how he did it =/for the heading ie it works nicely, its just the problem with the altitude -- Test Lua 1-- AP Course Left 6-- AP Course Left Fast 7-- AP Course Right 8-- AP Course Right Fast 9-- AP Course Press 10-- AP Speed Left 11-- AP Speed Left Fast 12-- AP Speed Right 13-- AP Speed Right Fast 14-- AP Speed Press 15-- AP Heading Left 16-- AP Heading Left Fast 17-- AP Heading Right 18-- AP Heading Right Fast 19-- AP Heading Press 20-- AP Altitude Left 21-- AP Altitude Left Fast 22-- AP Altitude Right 23-- AP Altitude Right Fast 24-- AP Altitude Press 25-- AP V-Speed Press 30-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Var = ""Speed = 0Control1 = 0Control2 = 0-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- if ipcPARAM == 1 then ipc.control(66587, 8031) ipc.display("Test...")-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- AP COURSE LEFTelseif ipcPARAM == 6 then Var = "L:AP_CRS_Left" Speed = 1 Control1 = 66587 Control2 = 26701elseif ipcPARAM == 7 then Var = "L:AP_CRS_Left_Fast" Speed = 5 Control1 = 66587 Control2 = 26701-- AP COURSE RIGHTelseif ipcPARAM == 8 then Var = "L:AP_CRS_Right" Speed = 1 Control1 = 66587 Control2 = 26702elseif ipcPARAM == 9 then Var = "L:AP_CRS_Right_Fast" Speed = 5 Control1 = 66587 Control2 = 26702-- AP COURSE PRESSelseif ipcPARAM == 10 then Var = "L:AP_CRS_Press" Speed = 1 Control1 = 66587 Control2 = 2672end-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- AP SPEED LEFTif ipcPARAM == 11 then Var = "L:AP_SPD_Left" Speed = 1 Control1 = 66587 Control2 = 26801elseif ipcPARAM == 12 then Var = "L:AP_SPD_Left_Fast" Speed = 10 Control1 = 66587 Control2 = 26801-- AP SPEED RIGHTelseif ipcPARAM == 13 then Var = "L:AP_SPD_Right" Speed = 1 Control1 = 66587 Control2 = 26802elseif ipcPARAM == 14 then Var = "L:AP_SPD_Right_Fast" Speed = 10 Control1 = 66587 Control2 = 26802-- AP SPEED PRESSelseif ipcPARAM == 15 then Var = "L:AP_SPD_Press" Speed = 1 Control1 = 66587 Control2 = 2681-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- AP HEADING LEFTelseif ipcPARAM == 16 then Var = "L:AP_HDG_Left" Speed = 1 Control1 = 66587 Control2 = 26901elseif ipcPARAM == 17 then Var = "L:AP_HDG_Left_Fast" Speed = 5 Control1 = 66587 Control2 = 26901-- AP HEADING RIGHTelseif ipcPARAM == 18 then Var = "L:AP_HDG_Right" Speed = 1 Control1 = 66587 Control2 = 26902elseif ipcPARAM == 19 then Var = "L:AP_HDG_Right_Fast" Speed = 5 Control1 = 66587 Control2 = 26902-- AP HEADING PRESSelseif ipcPARAM == 20 then Var = "L:AP_HDG_Press" Speed = 1 Control1 = 66587 Control2 = 2691-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- AP ALTITUDE LEFTelseif ipcPARAM == 21 then Var = "L:AP_SPD_Left" Speed = 1 Control1 = 66587 Control2 = 3920elseif ipcPARAM == 22 then Var = "L:AP_SPD_Left_Fast" Speed = 10 Control1 = 66587 Control2 = 3920-- AP ALTITUDE RIGHTelseif ipcPARAM == 23 then Var = "L:AP_SPD_Right" Speed = 1 Control1 = 66587 Control2 = 3921elseif ipcPARAM == 24 then Var = "L:AP_SPD_Right_Fast" Speed = 10 Control1 = 66587 Control2 = 3921-- AP ALTITUDE PRESSelseif ipcPARAM == 25 then Var = "L:AP_SPD_Press" Speed = 1 Control1 = 66587 Control2 = 281-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- AP V-SPEED LEFTelseif ipcPARAM == 26 then Var = "L:AP_VS_Left" Speed = 1 Control1 = 66587 Control2 = 283elseif ipcPARAM == 27 then Var = "L:AP_VS_Left_Fast" Speed = 10 Control1 = 66587 Control2 = 283-- AP V-SPEED RIGHTelseif ipcPARAM == 28 then Var = "L:AP_VS_Right" Speed = 1 Control1 = 66587 Control2 = 283elseif ipcPARAM == 29 then Var = "L:AP_VS_Right_Fast" Speed = 10 Control1 = 66587 Control2 = 283-- AP V-SPEED PRESSelseif ipcPARAM == 30 then Var = "L:AP_VS_Press" Speed = 1 Control1 = 66587 Control2 = 283end-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- val = 0 if ipc.readLvar(Var) == 0 then val = 1 end ipc.control(66587, 8031) ipc.writeLvar(Var, val) for n=1, Speed, 1 do ipc.control(Control1, Control2) end

alright, got it workingjust didnt find the VS parameters, some of the press'es wont work and altitude/speed isnt synchronized =/probably because the panel starts with a different value than the js41 in fsx - might there be a way to set this on start?but its faar better than before =)created a new lua called js41_ap.luawith the following: -- Test Lua 1-- AP Course Left 6-- AP Course Left Fast 7-- AP Course Right 8-- AP Course Right Fast 9-- AP Course Press 10-- AP Speed Left 11-- AP Speed Left Fast 12-- AP Speed Right 13-- AP Speed Right Fast 14-- AP Speed Press 15-- AP Heading Left 16-- AP Heading Left Fast 17-- AP Heading Right 18-- AP Heading Right Fast 19-- AP Heading Press 20-- AP Altitude Left 21-- AP Altitude Left Fast 22-- AP Altitude Right 23-- AP Altitude Right Fast 24-- AP Altitude Press 25-- AP V-Speed Press 30-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- if ipcPARAM == 1 then ipc.display("Test...")end-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- AP COURSE LEFTif ipcPARAM == 6 then Var = "L:AP_CRS_Left" Speed = 1 Control1 = 66587 Control2 = 26701endif ipcPARAM == 7 then Var = "L:AP_CRS_Left_Fast" Speed = 5 Control1 = 66587 Control2 = 26701end-- AP COURSE RIGHTif ipcPARAM == 8 then Var = "L:AP_CRS_Right" Speed = 1 Control1 = 66587 Control2 = 26702endif ipcPARAM == 9 then Var = "L:AP_CRS_Right_Fast" Speed = 5 Control1 = 66587 Control2 = 26702end-- AP COURSE PRESSif ipcPARAM == 10 then Var = "L:AP_CRS_Press" Speed = 1 Control1 = 66587 Control2 = 2672end-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- AP SPEED LEFTif ipcPARAM == 11 then Var = "L:AP_SPD_Left" Speed = 1 Control1 = 66587 Control2 = 26801endif ipcPARAM == 12 then Var = "L:AP_SPD_Left_Fast" Speed = 10 Control1 = 66587 Control2 = 26801end-- AP SPEED RIGHTif ipcPARAM == 13 then Var = "L:AP_SPD_Right" Speed = 1 Control1 = 66587 Control2 = 26802endif ipcPARAM == 14 then Var = "L:AP_SPD_Right_Fast" Speed = 10 Control1 = 66587 Control2 = 26802end-- AP SPEED PRESSif ipcPARAM == 15 then Var = "L:AP_SPD_Press" Speed = 1 Control1 = 66587 Control2 = 2681end-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- AP HEADING LEFTif ipcPARAM == 16 then Var = "L:AP_HDG_Left" Speed = 1 Control1 = 66587 Control2 = 26901endif ipcPARAM == 17 then Var = "L:AP_HDG_Left_Fast" Speed = 5 Control1 = 66587 Control2 = 26901end-- AP HEADING RIGHTif ipcPARAM == 18 then Var = "L:AP_HDG_Right" Speed = 1 Control1 = 66587 Control2 = 26902endif ipcPARAM == 19 then Var = "L:AP_HDG_Right_Fast" Speed = 5 Control1 = 66587 Control2 = 26902end-- AP HEADING PRESSif ipcPARAM == 20 then Var = "L:AP_HDG_Press" Speed = 1 Control1 = 66587 Control2 = 2691end-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- AP ALTITUDE LEFTif ipcPARAM == 21 then Var = "L:AP_SPD_Left" Speed = 1 Control1 = 66587 Control2 = 3920endif ipcPARAM == 22 then Var = "L:AP_SPD_Left_Fast" Speed = 10 Control1 = 66587 Control2 = 3920end-- AP ALTITUDE RIGHTif ipcPARAM == 23 then Var = "L:AP_SPD_Right" Speed = 1 Control1 = 66587 Control2 = 3921endif ipcPARAM == 24 then Var = "L:AP_SPD_Right_Fast" Speed = 10 Control1 = 66587 Control2 = 3921end-- AP ALTITUDE PRESSif ipcPARAM == 25 then Var = "L:AP_SPD_Press" Speed = 1 Control1 = 66587 Control2 = 281end-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- AP V-SPEED LEFTif ipcPARAM == 26 then Var = "L:AP_VS_Left" Speed = 1 Control1 = 66587 Control2 = 283endif ipcPARAM == 27 then Var = "L:AP_VS_Left_Fast" Speed = 10 Control1 = 66587 Control2 = 283end-- AP V-SPEED RIGHTif ipcPARAM == 28 then Var = "L:AP_VS_Right" Speed = 1 Control1 = 66587 Control2 = 283endif ipcPARAM == 29 then Var = "L:AP_VS_Right_Fast" Speed = 10 Control1 = 66587 Control2 = 283end-- AP V-SPEED PRESSif ipcPARAM == 30 then Var = "L:AP_VS_Press" Speed = 1 Control1 = 66587 Control2 = 283end-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- ipc.writeLvar(Var, 1)for i = 0, Speed, 1 do ipc.control(Control1, Control2)end

yep i tried setting the macro 2ce for the fast dial (1ce for the action and 1ce after the action)but that doesnt help much, if i turn 180º it turns about 10º in fsx =)i couldnt find a solution for the js41, just someone that mentioned that hes got it working (but not how)im going to give it a try making my own lua, even though i dont quite understand how it works =)if that someone (Kensi) that has it working, has a tip for me - its more than welcomethank you

ive been thinking...has anyone tried calling the heading multiple times through a lua?as it basically appears as if one click on the panel seems to be morethan a click through the macromy thaught was, when a click is trigered through the panelit just needs to be performed multiple times, to basically synchronize itie. through a lua

got everything working =)the only "bugs" left are that i can only turn the heading slowly and the value shown on the panel is different from the one in fsx

cheers ill give it another try, thank you and good night

aah alright thank you, i had the lua part but it seems i missed the macro parti got the lua working but not the macrosi created a file "js41.mcro" in the same directory as the "js41.lua"but unlinke the lua i cant find the mcro in the dropdowndo i have to place the mcro somewhere else?

it seems i have another problem =)i wanted to try and simply assign a mouse macro to the heading knob (and all other things that dont work yet)so i open up fsuipc, click on buttons+switches and click on create mouse macronext i enter "js41" and click ok and ok againback in the cockpit i click arround on the heading knob, but nothing happenesas far as i know, a window should open up now, where i can enter the macro namebut nothing happenes =/i tried running fsx normally and as admin and also tried exiting fsuipc with cancel instead of okand also tried different buttons and even aircrafts (fsx-standard included)but the window to enter the macro name just wont showam i doing something wrong?

alright, thank you andyfor anyone strugling to find the advanced manual: check the modules folger in your fsx folderthere might be 2 pdf's one with apendix 3 and 1 without it (like in my case) dont panic, just check for the other pdf in the same dir or sub-diri didnt quite get the meaning behind all the com ports describednote, the 1st two port you setup in VSPE are:- 1 the port serial fp2 will be using in future (note dont use >90 as serial fp2 wont let you choose it)- 2 the port fsuipc will be usingthen the two ports in fsuipc.ini:- 1 is the actual com port the panel uses (the one used if you just run serial fp2 without anything else open)- 2 the 2nd port from the VSPE setupnow fsuipc recognizes the buttonsbut im still struggling with the heading knobwhat aircraft do you chose in serial fp2 for the js41?maybe that will help, i tried 2-3 things where the heading knob will work, but other things wont, or my mouse suddenly just starts doing rightclicks nonstop and i can only save myself with alt-f4 (ctrl+alt+delete wont work) =)

next question =)i got myself the mcp combo panel from vrinsighti found several post with people quite happy about itand also a post with additional lua key commands via fsuipcon this forumbut what aircraft do you guys choose in serial fp2?ive updated fsuipc and also have the newest version of serial fp2(both installed under administrator priviledges)but several things wont work on the combo panel eg. ap heading,enable/disable autopilotand if i want to set keycommands for buttons through fsuipcit seems that fsuipc wont register the button pressi can press arround on all buttons and nothing happenesbut if i press a button in a throttle quadrant from saitek it works instantlyam i missing something? does anyone have a tip that has his/her combo panel working?thank you

great it works! thank you guys!ive now set reduce power quickly on the 1st leaver and stop power on the 2nd leaverand even with full powered reverse thrust, the engines can be idled with the 2nd leaverwithout blowing the engines (quite amazingly)every time i tried it with the mouse i blew the engines =)couldnt get the fuel shutoff working thoughbut as its only used rather rarely (compared to reverse thrust)i think i can manage with doing that by mouse

i dont get that with the name, as it can be quite a secority hazzard for some people, but be my guesti have FSUIPC installed, which i also wrote in my first postbut i cant find a way to set it up for recerse thrusti tried mouse-macros and joystick assignmentsbut neither would worki tried the fuel leavers after clicking the two round buttons bellow them with the mouse (wouldnt work)ill try that with F1 and F2PS: saitek throtles dont have a reverse region, its only a further button per leaver

first of all, great work on the js41!but 2 things are still buging me:- does someone know how to properly setup the saitek throtles, so you can use reverse thrust and fuel shutoff?everything works for basic flying, but i cant use reverse thrust nor shutoff (if i dont do it via mouse)ive tried seting "reduce power quickly" on the bottom button of the leaverwhich works for most aircrafts, but on the js41 it doesnt seem to do anythingive tried seting it via fsuipc, but i didnt get all too far thereif i try handling the reverse thrust with the mouse i usually blow the engines =/- is it just me, or dont the taxy lights iluminate the taxy way?when i switch on the taxy lights, it seems as if nothing changedwhile the landing lights flood everything with lightthank you
