FS2004 Link2fs Multi BETA Testers test

[Jim NZ]

Well I finally got this rattled together ,, and it's available for downloading.

It's the Link2fs_Multi for FS2004 and it's basically exactly the same as the FSX one. Heaps of extractions, Direct Inputs, and "Keys" along with a GPWS, Chatter, and an Annunciator page.

It can connect to 3 cards at once.

If you are running the "Multi" for FSX then everything will still work for this FS9 one if you use both sim's at different times. (The INO is the same)

You don't need an Arduino card to run it ,,, It is not an "install" but a stand alone exe. (You could run it from a pendrive)

What I would like tested is the program itself ,,, any odd things going on ,, errors ,,, etc etc.
I'm not worried about INO's ,, that's another matter.

If you want a play ,,, give it a go and see if you can spot anything wrong ,,, I just got sick of testing the million things in it and would like a hand.

My web page on this release is rubbish (I'll fix it up one day) but you can see the general idea by looking at the "Multi for FSX" page on my site as they look exactly the same.

Please post any findings in the thread only ,, nothing about INO's please.

You can get it here ,,,,

Hi!
I tested the " Link2fs Multi FS9 Beta2." Windows 7 system
The picture seems to "Link2fs" not connected to the FS9. Where is the error?
Thank you in advance for your answer!

Thanks for the good description and picture ,, it all helps.

Because it say's "Connected to ..." it tells me that you haven't put the file "FSConnect.dll" into FS9's module folder as described in the "READ ME FIRST FS9.TXT" file ,,, or your UAC is blocking something.

Hi!
Software or hardware environment is causing the problem?
Addition: Windows7 32-bit system.

Hi!
I incorrectly read "READ ME FIRST FS9.txt!"
The module directory "FSConnect.dll" I did not do it!
This caused the error!
Thanks to you Jim NZ!

Hello, thank you for your amazing software.
I'm having a problem with encoders, I have 3 encoders and everything is setup perfectly and they are connecting to FS9, however i am not sure how to set different functions for each... i.e: first encoder for heading, second for altitude...etc.

I tried to search online and i couldnt figure it out. Any help would be great.

Thank you again

Hello az_91,

Have you looked at http://www.jimspage.co.nz/Multi_Radio.htm ?
If you connect your rotary encoders to the appropriate pins and load the provided INO to your arduino, it should work. You don't need the 16x2 LCD and the other bells and whistles.

From there you can figure out the INO and how the encoders send their information to link2fs and FS9.
It's pretty hard for me to explain this from the top of my head, but if you give me a day or two, I can give you a "how-to".

I have 3 encoders working through arduino and link2fs: altimeter, OBS and HDG. There is a way!

Hey, thank you for your help, I actually solved the problem.. When I faced it I opened a topic on it and then replied with the solution.

To summarize: I edited the printname(I guess) segment of the encoder to be what I want (worked fine). or I could change the lettering from 0 to D( didint try this though).
Thanks for replying
