What can be used in place of PM Systems

[shearder]

ah ok. Bar function? As in the type of gauges in a 747-200??

No, that is a Command that shows you "------" on a 7 Segment Display.

Ok cool!! That is good - i didn't want to go waste money on payware aircraft. So if i use FSBus with C++ i will be good?

If the FSBus driver software uses FSUIPC offsets to get its data and indicator status, and relay switch settings, then you could also consider writing your systems logic in Lua, as one or more plug-ins direct into FSUIPC. Lua is not as powerful as C/C++ of course, but the logic capabilities of Lua do allow you to do as much as that which can be written for, say, pmSystems.

thanks so much pete. may i be so bold as to ask pete, how well does fsbus interface with fsuipc?? not that i need to decide on FSUIPC lol THAT is a given i assume it will be fine with lua. i think i have a lot to learn still.

Sorry, I've no idea what FSBus is nor how it interfaces to what. All I suggested was that if it uses FSUIPC offsets to interface to FS then you can write Lua plug-ins to handle your logic.

If FSBus does its own thing and doesn't use FSUIPC, then obviously FSUIPC's Lua plugin facility won't be of any use.

i assume it will be fine with lua.

What, FSbus or FSUIPC? If you mean FSUIPC, then all recent versions of FSUIPC have a Lua interpreter built in, and can load Lua plugins automatically.

FSBus is an Interface like Opencockpit and so many more.
It works with FSUIPC. FSBus you can programm in C or old style that is a kind of Basic.

I was meaning the two together Thanks for your assistance Pete. I have some learning to do Lua!! AND FSUIPC

Sorry to break in here, but I still have a complete PMSystems replacement available for free. I'm looking for betatesters. I would like to include FSBUS interfacing, but my current package offers phidgets connectivity only.

A requirement would be for FSBUS to offer a C# API. Maybe anybody with FSBUS has more information about this? If this is available, I could add support for this.

Hi,

FSBus self is a C++ DLL/API.
After a quick search on google it seams to be possible to load a C++ DLL in a C# Project.
Sorry but at the moment i only overfly the thread with your Project.
Do the user Program his Hardware own or do you make something like FSUIPC Offsets or API?
With FSBus the user has to programm his complete Hardware self, like the SIOC Scripts from OC Hardware.
Let us talk via PM.
