DF727, output cards, FSUIPC, etc., etc. Need some info before the next step please.
I've been in communication with Paul Golding the creator of the 727 for Dreamfleet. I don't know what his function is within the company, or how it relates to the aircraft model, but he told me that since the DF727 was not designed with FSUIPC in mind that he doesn't think the program will output lamp indications to FSUIPC for use with an output card for my simulator.
Now, every input command from a switch has so far worked with this model except for the Aileron Hold on the SP-50. Dowson solved that problem with the mouse capture function.
Even though it was not designed with FSUIPC in mind, is it possible that it communicates passively with FSUIPC regardless of their design intentions? What I mean is, I don't think they designed it to intentionally ignore FSUIPC, but if I've had good luck with input commands up until now, doesn't it follow that my luck might hold for output recognition for indicator lamps as well???
Is there any way, short of wasting money on an output card to experiment with (and short of a definitive answer from DF) that I can tell if the 727 is 'talking' to FSUIPC about the state of the indicator lamps.
Gear, flaps, marker beacon, low oil pressure/filter bypass, wind shear, terrain. etc, etc? Is there a way?
Anyone interested in an output card, cheap, down the road in a month or two? Good condition, only one input wired, honest!
