Hi Ray,
SendKeys is only necessary for the tilt agle and reset. All other commands working nicely via the offset with the "new" commands.

I found this over at addon gagues forum:
I have tested it and it works flawless when assigned to a joybutton. Just change the first digits to suit the order in wich the button presses are sorted in fsuipc.ini. The digit 8 in the two first lines and 9 in the third/fourth line is the button numbers. They obviusly have to be changed to your button number.Quote:

I wish this report frees many people from a trouble.
Specifications of tilt setting of SA_WXR may be different from a manual.
It is written in a manual as follows.
+-------------+-----------------+
|Command Value| Function |
+-------------+-----------------+
| 17 |Set Tilt positive|
+-------------+-----------------+
| 18 |Set Tilt negative|
+-------------+-----------------+
However, I used only positive setting.
For example, I write an order like next, and please test it.
15=P1,8,Cx31006D01,x003C0001
16=P1,8,Cx01006D00,x11
17=P1,9,Cx41006D01,xFFC40001
18=P1,9,Cx01006D00,x11
I think that a good result was provided.
I edited FSUIPC.INI and wrote in it.
This read over Advanced Users.doc of FSUIPC again and hit.
Please test it once by all means.
And please tell it about the result.
I wait for a nice report.

There are some hints in the "Fsuipc for advanced users" section that covers additonal fs controls added by Fsuipc.
I'm using iocards so now I have to find a way to translate this into sioc code and mill myself a nice little panel.
I've now added the following to my FSUIPC.INI to control the tilt commands for the SA_WXR gauge. If anyone knows how to change to "Control to repeat while held" I'd appreciate it.
85=P2,8,Cx41006D01,xFFC40001
86=P2,8,Cx01006D00,x11
87=P2,10,Cx31006D01,x003C0001
88=P2,10,Cx01006D00,x11
These apply to my CH Pro Throttle known to FSUIPC as Joystick 2 - hence P2. I'm using buttons 8 and 10.
Just a word of advice. If you view these commands via the FSUIPC interface it will tell you multiple commands are assigned to this button. That is quite normal as two commands have to be sent. One for the tilt command and a second to clear the buffer to allow subsequent commands to be sent. I think that's how it works.
Try to assign a button with something and check the buttons ini line. Then go back to the fsuipc ui and assign the repeat while held function to the same button. Then back to the ini line and see what's been changed and if it's possible to apply on the tilt lines. Haven't tested it but it might work
I haven't figured out yet how to translate this to sioc code. So now I have the Off/wxr/Wxr+T, GCS and OFP on a panel driven by iocards while I have wired one button from my CH throttle to the same panel for tilt.
Question: Are You using sa_wxr through PM or as a standalone radar? Because on my setup (PM) the response time on the ND is very slow while it's immediate on the radar itself. It takes several seconds before the tilt values change on the ND. Might be my setup that needs some tuning.
Guys,
I am reading this with lots of interest as I have the SA WXR as well and am a bit confused (dumb).. if i understand correct i need to edit the FSUIPC cfg file and the Wideclient cfg file.
another thing is the PM Get WX programme. I understand that this one should not be running, however PM get WX is the programme which shows the ATIS in the Acars function on the CDU so how does this impact?
Peter
Hi Anders,
Thanks. I'll investigate. I'm running it through PM on the ND. I agree the display is slow to update but it's better than how I did it before by having to press Function keys on another PC whilst SA-WXR has the focus.
It's not helped by having SA-WXR on one PC, FS on another and PM on a third. I might move SA-WXR to the same PC as PM or even FS which should help keep delays to a minimum. The delay is certanly not several seconds though - maybe 1-2 secs maximum.
Cheers,
Hi Peter,
No, you only need to edit the FSUIPC.INI file located in the modules folder.
Don't run the PM Get Weather program. SA-WXR reads actual wx inside FS. You do lose the ATIS facility in the CDU but as that weather was not up to date it doesn't really matter.
Cheers,
I sent my key request off last Saturday, and still have no response. It is kind of Funny actually, Like Russian Roulette :)
