Hello Masterius, thanks for your answer I'll try it and come back Franz

Hello Masterius, I did all steps. Then I assigned the rotary encoder via mobiflight to the events 65892 for right turn up and 65893 for left turn down. The Alt preseletor stays at zero, but I can move this margenta marker according the rotation. Maybe should I try diffenert events - for instance 66124 AP_ALT_VAR_SET_ENGLISH. Another question is, which number goes into the para field. Without a number, the assigment doesen't work. Very, very thanks again for your support best regards Franz

Hi Masterius I assigned the lua file to a key press - this works, also I let the Parameter field blank. But as you can see, on the right site there is a 0 in the Parameter field. I cancelled the assignment several times and did it again as you described it above. Every time with a blank Parameter field. But every time, the right site shows an 0. When I turn the rotary, the logger shows it, it triggers the lua file, but no change at the Alt preselector. It stays at zero. Maybe do you have an idea? Thanks in advance Franz

Hi Masterius, I'll be back, I tried your Lua script, unfortunately no success. I found out, that to assign the rotary encoder to FSUIPC goes for me via the software Mobiflight, it goes not direct what I told you earlier. That was my fault. Sorry for that. I did following: First I assigned the first lua file to a keypress in FSUIPC. Second in my software Mobiflight I assigned the rotary encoder to that keypress. This software can assign the rotary encoder via different ways. One way is via a keypress, another way would be via an user offset - the Lvar is written into that offset. I did it via the keypress. This keypress fires the lua file. I can see it on the logger in FSUIPC. I was not sure, what i should put into the parameter field. I tried an "a". But this doesn't work. Thereafter I tried an "0". the same again. Maybe this is the reason for not working? What to do think. Thanks in advance. Franz

Hi Masterius, I haven't seen your last message. As I wrote before, I found a solution with the mmjoy2. Next I'll do your Lua so I could use my setting as planned. Thanks a lot Franz

Hi Masterius, it's working with my rotary encoder. I switched this encoder from the arduino to the mmjoy. LINDA can see now this rotary encoder. According your instruction I did the assaigment. I am happy now. Thanks again for your help. Franz

Hi Masterius, I did some investigation, maybe I found a solution, I am going to figure it out and I'll write you about my success. Franz

Hi Masterius, LINDA can't read my rotaries, FSUIPC can read it, but how manage I the connection between the functions and FSUIPC?

I mean a rotary encoder.

Hi, thanks a lot for your perfekt instruction. It's working. I assigned the 2 functions to joystick buttons for testing. It's working as desired. After that I tried to assigned the functions to other buttons. But this is not possilble, because LINDA does not support this FSUIPC button press or key press to assign my encoder, which should fire the functions. Maybe do you know a trick to can assign another button except joystick buttons? Best regards Franz

I'm trying to set the altitude with the ALT preselector in 1000 ft steps higher or less. It's an Carenado CJ2 aircraft on a FSX:SE Sim, and Carenado is very tricky. I asked their support for help, but they told me, thats not possible, because its too complex and they have their own thing. The FSUIPC logger tells me, if I set the altitude with the mouse, it starts 6 event-IDs at the same time to set the desired altitude. With Linda tracer I found a Lvar "L:CUSTOM_AP_ALT_VAR_SET_ENGLISH" to operate the ALT value. I made a lua macro with it. At Mobiflight in the macro settings at the value window, I wrote 1000 in it. Then I do one click with the encoder to fire the macro, I get 1000 on the PC monitor. More clicks nothing, no action - the value stays as it is, just 1000. If I write e.g. 5000 in the value window and I do one click, I get 5000 on the monitor, but nothing more. Further I made a little Lua test file: ipc.writeLvar("L:CUSTOM_AP_ALT_VAR_SET_ENGLISH", 4000) and fire this file with an button press in FSUIPC. So I get 4000 ft altitude on the monitor. It's similar to the macro. If I change the value e.g. I fill in 5000, I get 5000 ft. My thinking goes in that direction: I have 2 lua files, one for inc/1000 and one for dec/1000. But unfortunately I have no idea, how to manage this. Maybe someone could give me a little help. Thanks in advance Best regards Franz
