Still no joy with FSUIPC working EFIS items

[Simran737]

Thanks for the info. What I am not clear on is from what your saying, all add ons, PM, CPFLIGHT, etc get their flight info from the flight model that one happens to be flying with. So PM range rings for example, are still based on what flight model is up and running. Is that right. Just a simple changing of the PM range rings in the ND, is dependent on the flight models setup? Are not the range ring functions, just a generic thing and would not be dependent on aircraft models being used? Same for DH or Baro press.

From what I understand of reading material here, PM systems only provides for the instrumentation aboard the aircraft. The panel in other words.

For the hardware part of the problem, FMC, GPS, etc., I have read that you should be able to use the functions in the the FSUIPC command assignment drop-down box for PM commands (if you have the checkmark in the box that will automatically include those commands) directly and they should program without (too many) problem.

In other wordes FSUIPC is a link between your PM systems panel and FS. Not neccesarily the flight model of the aircraft. The flight model or .air file is separate from the PM panel used to talk to FS.

As you have brough PM systems software into this discussion, I am getting in beyond my knowlege of just how this program communicates with FSUIPS and FS.

This is better left to those with experience. But I would still suggest programming the default aircraft with the commands you want to use with the -700 and see what happens and compare results.

I just flew with the default (it appears I had that all along) and same old thing. Nothing is happening with the buttons thru FSUIPC for anything connected with Magenta. I maybe will set the sim on fire and roll it down the street.

NEVER give up! Someone, somewhere has a solution for this problem. It ain't like you're building a 727, Fokker, Falcon, or T-38...

Someone will help you. Don't pull the fire handles just yet...

PM wrote me that Dowson now has from march 2007, a goflight software, that I have now downloaded. If I can fig out what the heck he is saying, maybe that might help.
