As well as P3Dv5 & v6 I also use X-plane 11 & 12. So, your comment "MD and DREF are XPlane assets, they don't officially exist yet" implies they may at some time in the future. I won't hold my breath though. Ah well - thanks for your responses. My search goes on...

Thanks for your reply. 0·1·2·1·(B:FUEL_Selector_1)·(L:KA_TANKSEL_IDX)·4·iseq·(>B:FUEL_Selector_1_Set)·(>L:KA_TANKSEL_IDX) This brings me to my first question – what is event B:? And while on the topic I see other possible events are H:, IE; CMD:. – what are they or where are they documented. I have already worked out L:, K: and S:. The “iseq” operator advances a variable through a range of values – this is no use for the aircraft I am setting up – an FSLABS plane on P3Dv5. FSLABS make a lot of use of ROTOR_BRAKE so I cannot look for or change the value in a variable – I have to count the number of times the particular command has been issued. To move the Nav&Logo light switch up I issue the event 72489 (>K:ROTOR_BRAKE) while to move it down the event 72488 (>K:ROTOR_BRAKE). I guess I will investigate VBScript unless there is another suggestion. Another question on the SliderGauge. After I add a number of images and Submit, I cannot see the assigned images. Is there any way of seeing them to check if they are valid?

I am looking for help setting up a StreamDeck Mobile device. My issue is with controls that have more than 2 positions. I can use the 2 position control without a problem. Take the following scenario: A switch has 3 positions – down, middle and up. I want the StreamDeck Mobile to show the switch in the 3 different positions. So the logic goes something like this: If local variable POSITION does not exist Create the local variable POSITION and set it to 0 Display SWITCH_POSTION_MIDDLE.png in StreamDeck Mobile row 2 column 5 Endif If short press If POSITION < 1 Add 1 to POSITION If POSITION = 0 Display SWITCH_POSTION_MIDDLE.png in StreamDeck Mobile row 2 column 5 Else Display SWITCH_POSTION_TOP.png in StreamDeck Mobile row 2 column 5 Endif Endif Endif If long press If POSITION > -1 Subtract 1 from POSITION If POSITION = 0 Display SWITCH_POSTION_MIDDLE.png in StreamDeck Mobile row 2 column 5 Else Display SWITCH_POSTION_BOTTOM.png in StreamDeck Mobile row 2 column 5 Endif Endif Endif I bought Axis and Ohs so I could use the StreamDeck Mobile. I also use SPAD.NEXT and the above logic can quickly and easily be done – however SPAD does not support the StreamDeck Mobile. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. If there are suggestions, please use Vbscript

I am using Axis and Ohs with the StreamDeck plugin. I can use it successfully with a 2 position switch. Is there a technique for a switch with more than 2 positions - sav with local variable values of 1,2,3? if so can you please provide an example. Allan

Randy Thanks - I now have EZCA working in P3Dv6. Given ChasePlane have pulled out of P3D support - I think I will move my P3Dv5 to EZCA as well. You help is much appreciated. Allan

Randy It looks pretty clearcut installing EZCA in P3DV6. I have now purchased the product. One question, what is the reason for booting in Safe Mode? I do have P3Dv5.4 installed but I don’t need EZCA installed there as I use ChasePlane for that sim. I still want to run both v5 and v6. So, after the installation to v6, is it just a matter or playing with the symbolic links & renaming folders – ie removing them when I want to use v5 and putting them back when I want to use v6. Thanks in advance for your thoughts. Allan

v6 Addon compatibility list from those who dare!
AllanK replied to UrgentSiesta's topic in The Prepar3d Forum
I have not yet attempted the registry hack - so on standard P3DV6 installation: I have successfully installed and loaded but not yet flown: QW787 (night - also started engines), EMB505 Phenom 300 HD series; Carenado S550 Citation II; QW Ultimate 146 Collection. SPAD.NEXT sees the loaded aircraft and "SimConnect Configure - Test Connection" within SPAD reports a valid connection. These aircraft only wanted to repair/remove the last installation - ie P3Dv5 so I did not proceed: A2A C-17A; PMDG 737NGXu and Vitaravia Globemaster C-17A. Note: SPAD requires an update to install the P3Dv6 connect component - I am told it is expected this weekend. Not sure if it has been mentioned, but the panel popouts (white button) on the QW787 work even in daylight. -
So are you saying it does not work with the current patch 3.2.0.4 but it does work with 3.2.0.3? If so, is 3.2.0.3 available? I am interested in buying it (ChasePlane user 😞) but I cannot see a way of asking the developer. Any suggestions appreciated.

QW787 - looks like night time flying for me! -
Registry 'trick' for installing addons in P3D v6
AllanK replied to anden145's topic in The Prepar3d Forum
Not talking about Orbx but aircraft such as PMDG 737. If I have both V5.4 and V6 installed on the same computer - and each time change the registry to the correct version to suit P3D version that I want to run - will this work or is it more complicated than that? -
I was going through the Fault Diagnosis process and found the following when I got to the step "You may need to remove a block on logging in FSUIPCx.ini" There was an error message about LogOptionProtect - looking in the FSUIPC6.INI file the option was already set to "NO". At that stage I clicked on "SYNC TO SIM" and the green "Everything is OK" came up and the Joysticks panel started to respond to key presses on the Controllers. Should I do this whenever I have this issue? Allan
-
Some more information. When the error occurs, the Joysticks menu panel does not automatically jump to the associated joystick configuration screen. I have now tried the following: I moved the current FSUIPC folder and then reloaded a good backup copy into the Prepar3D v5 Add-ons folder. I copied all the files from the moved LINDA and LINDA-CFG folders except for the aircraft I was working on - Quality Wings 787. Now Linda no longer shows an error. As I mentioned above I think it happens if I manually shutdown Linda while P3D is running. Does this give any clue as to the problem or the resolution?
-
Yes - I see the error on the Summary page. The Setup VRA Panels have no ticks in MCP Enabled, CDU2 Enabled or an entry in CDU COM Port. Controllers I have are Honeycomb Alpha & Bravo; Thrustmaster engines 1&2, 3&4 as well as the left and right add-ons and 2 Thrustmaster Cougars. I think the issue comes up is I accidently shutdown Linda without letting P3D shut it down. Allan
