IOCP

[aufa35]

Hello
I have now one expansion and master card and i am trying to write something, but it is without success.
So first, i would like to ask you if i have everything well installed. I have FSX, Maddog, SIOC and FSUIPC from www.schiratti.com. Is it right?
I tested my card in controlador (everything was ok), than i write something like this:
//--------------------LANDING GEAR-------------------------
Var 2330, Link IOCARD_SW, Input 1, Type I // GEAR
//--------------------GEAR RELEASE-------------------------
Var 2350, Link IOCARD_SW, Input 2, Type I // GEAR RELEASE
i saved it as sioc.ssi, reload sioc.exe and i started FSX.
The surprise was that it was doing nothing. Except the blinking led light on expansion card.
Can you save me?

Hi,
I'm not surprised at all
Your program does nothing... You only have defined two variables linked to inputs. These variables will hold the values of the inputs, but you do nothing with these values ..
Please study my simple examples at my howto page first.

Hi I am again here and I have a lot of questions.
I understand SIOC a little bit, but everywhere on Internet sites about home cockpits and it´s software i found IOCP server and IOCP network and IOCP, IOCP....
So i would like to know what is it, for what is it, what can i do with it, and how to make it. If you can help me i will be very happy. Or if you can tell me where can i get some useful documents about it (step by step (something for beginners )).
And i have one more problem, with FSX Maddog Md80 2010 offsets. I don't know where can i get it.

Hi,

Forget about IOCP servers and the IOCP protocol. Most people do not need it. You only need SIOC.exe Config_sioc.exe, a text editor and a Beer!

You can access FSX/FS9 information/controls via FSUIPC offsets in your SIOC script, there is really no need to use IOCP variables.

regards,
Nico

Ok, but i will need it later. Ee and where can i get FSUIPC offsets for maddog? I tried google but google don´t know nothing about it. Maybe on http://www.flythemaddog.com/forum/index.php but i have now some registration problems.

I don't think you will need a later.

FSUIPC offsets are 'generic' offsets that most aircrafts support. There are no specific Maddog offsets, just as there are no specific IOCP variables for Maddog. The list of FSUIPC offsets is available in the FSUIPC SDK at Pete Dowson's page.

One thing I would like to mention here,

be careful with add-ons, many addons will use internal variables which they dont make available via fsuipc offset rendering then somewhat
useless for cockpit builders. The list with addons which provides offsets is to my knowledge rather small : (correct me if I am wrong or I forget
some) Level-D 767 , Ifly 737, project magenta, flightdecksoftware, AST , jeehell airbus, ...)

Ehm. My script is working!
// *3.txt
// *12-07-2011

Var 0000, Value 0 // Initialization
{
v0001 = 0
}

// -----------------------Parkovacia brzda----------------------------
Var 0001, Link FSUIPC_INOUT, Offset $0BC8, Length 2 // Parking brake
Var 0002, Link IOCARD_SW, Input 1, Type I // Vstup pre prepinac
{
IF v0002 = 1
{
v0001 = 32767
}
ELSE
{
v0002 = 0
}
}

// -----------------------Podvozok------------------------------------
Var 0010, Link FSUIPC_INOUT, Offset $0BE8, Length 4 // Gear control
Var 0011, Link IOCARD_SW, Input 2, Type I // Vstup pre gear down
{
IF v0011 = 1
{
v0010 = 16383
}
ELSE
{
v0010 = 0
}
}
I don't think, that in FSUIPC offsets status list are all switches from overhead. At least, it's very difficult to find the right offset to some switch. Is there some way how to find it from running FSX? Some program which will be open at the same time as FSX, i will push some button in FSX and it will show me in which offset was made change. Or something like that.

[aufa35]

I examine FSUIPC add-on in menu taskbar in FSX. There is logging and i can see events in maddog. If i push some switch, i can see line like this
xxxxxx *** Event: Cntrl= xxxxx (some numbers 1), Param=x (some numbers 2) Name. (x are numbers). Is there in this line some information about which offset is it (offset which I can use in SIOC script), which value it has and Length? Thank you.

This is an example from md80project.dk where there is a lot of experts on MADDOG. I have built an annunciater panel sith the below code:
