FMGS Joystick config request

[SSO]

I completely understand.
I have just been through the FSUIPC offsets and there is no mention of XPDR position in the standard file.
I only find this in the PMDG extension being 65CB - 65CE (each 1 byte)
I will check with Ross if this is what he reads, but in fact I think he goes through SimConnect, where they may exist.
To be continued...

Jean Luc,

Omni wisely pointed out that I should try to change the Transpoder status via the MCDU and see how that affected vPilot.
This connection actually works as it should so the issue is not between FMGS-FSUIPC-SimConnect-vPilot, but rather inside FMGS in the implementation of the push actions XPDR_On / XPDR_STBY which I see do not affect the status shown in the MCDU.

Jean Luc,

In the Complex Throttle with P/B reverser setup, I noticed that the Full reverse demand takes quite a number of seconds to reach 100 %. In the real aircraft the demand is almost instant when reverse is selected. You dont use 3-5 second moving the reverse handles backward from Idle.
The consequence is that the supply of reverser seems very slow to come into effect.
Could you have a look at this at one point.

Thanks

Hi,

I'l ltry to remember to change that in next version.
Right now, Im reworking the whole joystick system (up to now I could only handle 6 axis and 32 buttons per controller, now I will be ablle to handle 8 axis and 128 buttons, which is the maximum for windows HID joystick).

Regards,
JL

Thanks,

While you are in the module I have one additional request.
As the Reverser button effectively slowly changes the reported value from 0 to -65000, it is impossible to properly set Reverse Idle. I have had to live with Idle being a bit forward of the actual Idel position of the throttles.
My suggestion is to autoset the Rev. Idle position based on the Manually set Idel position. Eg. Idle being set to zero +/- 1000, then autoset Rev. Idle to -2000 +/-1000. Alternatively making the delta onesided:
Idle: 0 + 1000, Rev Idle -1 - 1000.

The BEST option would actually be to be able to manually enter the values to override what has been read by the joystick reading.
This would make setting up left and right throttle detents more precise.

Hope the above makes sense...
