General Question: FSUIPC and PSX

[Egyptair687]

Dear Reader,

haven't found it in the search.

Can PSX send values to fsuipc and change this values ?
For example:
I want to move the gear lever from down to up.
Can PSX send this command to fsuipc so that fsuipc changes the status of gear from down to up ?
I need this to change the indicator lights in my Jetmax and the InterfaceIt board is very powerful, but needs fsuipc to recognize changes.

thank you
Ahmed

Ahmed,

You need PSXInterfaceIT.... an interface from Psx to the boards used in the jet Max.

No bodges required with PSX, you can banish FSUIPC to 1996 where it belongs!

Thanks

Ahmed,

Another option is to use PSXseecon (free) to interface Opencockpits hardware programmed in SIOC with PSX.

2220 predefined SIOC Variables representing 99% of the functionality of the PSX interface are available. These variables give access to almost all states and controls of the PSX. You can receive information about state changes in the 744 and you can set Buttons, Switches, levers, Throttles, Dials, what have you, in the 744. Everything you need to build a cockpit.

Link is also on the add ons page here.

Hello Gary , Hello Nico,

thank you very much !!!

I will try both ways and see, what will give full access to the Jetmax.

Another thing: Is it possible to assign keystrokes to the autobrake switch ? Didn't found assignments in the PSX manual.

Sure. The 2 keys right to the letter 'M'. It is in page 31 under (country spec)

Is it possible to assign keystrokes to the autobrake switch ?

On German keyboards: Comma key and period key. These two keys are on the right-hand side of the M key and may be labelled differently in other country settings.

Thank you gentlemen !

@Gary: Great software, I have spent the whole day trying to assign buttons and annunciators via InterfaceIt to PSX and with your software it is a piece of cake...

@ Gary:
I am struggeling with the outputs for Gear and Speedbrakes armed & extended and fmc on eicas.
I know, that these indications are shown on the eicas, is there a way /variable to connect them to the respective indicators ?

thank you

Not so fast with the idea of banishing FSUIPC...... If you want to use any of the Saitek Pro Flight hardware like radios, switch panels, BIP panels etc. with PSX, Fsuipc and PSXSEECON will give you a way. This is my post that explains how
