Hi Jeehell
First of all thank you very much for your monumental work done with this software.
I would like to contribute a "grain of sand" with this ECAM switcher, is "freshly baked" and needs to be tested, it communicates with FSUIPC so HardwareConect is required in starter.ini
(there are two mini buttons in the corners to show/hide the borders)
I hope you like it
Best Regards
Marcello Migone
Hi Marcello,
What a great switcher! I love it! Excellent program and worked without a hitch!
Couple of things -
1. How do i resize the panel?
2. How do i get it to start automatically along with the other gauges and save its position?
This is excellent stuff my friend
Thanks for doing this!
Regards
Doug
Thank you for this application Marcello, I will give it a test when I get back from my Christmas holidays.
Are you planning to release other modules (gear panel, pedestal)?
These functions ons would be greatly appreciated for us that want to run 2d panels on a touch screen.
Best regards.
Thank you Doug for your comments
Regarding your questions:
1.-For now the switcher can not be resized (I will work on that)
2.- You can start the switcher automatically adding in the starter.ini the appropiate instruction to run external programs, see the example in the bottom of the file.
3.- For now is not possible to save the position in the screen
Regards
Marcello
Thank you OmiAtlas, I would like to make the gear/autobrake panel and a radio panel for this fabulous bird
Best Regards

I am back home now from my holidays and have been able to try out the new ECAM switcher, it works!
An option to resize would be fantastic. Thank you for your contribution.
I have tried to add ECAMSWITCHER=yes to starter.ini but it will not autostart; is there another option I should be using? Thank you again.
I am working on a gear autobrake panel. I have it operational and connected to FMGS via EHID (see below). Just a few bits to sort out with the distribution and initialization before first release.

Next on my list was actually the ECAM switcher, the CPT glare and the ATC module.
Excellent Stephen! Looking forward to your release. Thank you.
Hello All
Coincidentally I also developed Auto Brake and Landing Panel (attached to this post), for some reason the light for ON DECEL (offset 7393, byte 5) is not working.
Also I replaced the Brake Fan button with Landing gear switch (I believe the Brake Fan is not modeled)

Website updated with your module Marcello.

Thank you Marcello! I think we are on our way to integrating JL software for use with a flat (touch) screen setup!Quote:

Some suggestions --
Toggle switch to remove borders (unable to resize) should be on a right click menu bar like JL software.
Looking forward to your other ? releases (gear up/down, pedestal, throttle)

Hi Ben,
Thats great! Is it available for download mat? The touchscreen setup is also going to be the best type for me due to space and finances...
If it is, what size touch screen are you using for the above?
Cheers
Doug
Hi Doug, not using a touch screen at the moment, but exploring using the kinect as a touch sensor - http://www.touchlesstouch.com/Quote:

Thank You OmniAtlas !!
I am very happy to contribute to this project

Dinamically resize the panel is not easy, the buttons are actually static images (I have not found an easy way to do it with Delphi)
Another option is that I can change the size to match your panel requirement, please send me this info.
I'm working now developing an interface between my Goflight EFIS and MCP PRO to use directly with Jeehell FMGS

Hi Marcello!
Thanks for these two modules!
But I cannot get ECAMSWITCHER or AUTOLNDBRK working (connected). It displays "IPC request contains bad data" . In Starter.ini I set HardwareConnect=yes. Is anything else to to? Maybe another thing: when I installed Jeehell FMGS first, I didn't check "FSUIPC Support". So I installed it again with FSUIPC selected. I use W7 with FSX (SP1+2).
Best Regards
Michael
Hello Michael
It seems FSUIPC connector problem
-Please reinstall FSUIPC with the latest version.
-Test with Wideclient.exe (download from FSUIPC website, remember to configure wideclient.ini)
Hope this help
Best Regards
Marcello
Hi Marcello!
Thanks for your help! Does that mean FSUIPC has to be installed (and registered) to use ECAMSWITCHER and AUTOLNDBRK? At the moment I've only installed FSX and Jeehell FMGS.
Best regards,
Michael
Hi Marcello, do you know where the window settings (.ini files?) are stored for your ECAM and AUTOBRAKE?
They've disappeared off my desktop (they appear on the desktop), and I can't rearrange them so they are visible.
Thanks.
It seem Ecam switcher does not work with B40 or B41, do anyone has the same problem? Thanks
Hi,
Yes, the Ecam switcher does not work since the FSUIPC offsets were changed.
I updated the software with new offsets but still not working.
Perhaps Jeehel can give us some guideline how to use the new offsets because it seems that the Ecam logic was modified.
Regards
Marcello
It's quite easy: each button has now button pushed in and and button released offsets.
You must use those 2 events to tell the FMGS that the user pushed the button (selects tha page) then released the button (allows other buttons to then work).
however, FSUIPC has it's own delay, added by a delay in my own software. So if you don't put a delay yourself between the events, the pushed in action will be overwritten by the released action, and my software will only see the released event...
JL
Jeehell, thank you very much !!
I will insert a delay between the push an release event.
Regards
Marcello
Dear All
Please test this reworked version for B40 and above.
Thanks to Jeehell for your help!
Regards
Marcello Migone
GREAT Thanks JL and Marcello !!! :)
ECAM Switcher & Autobrake working great on my touch screen :]] B41.2
Thanks so much JL & Marcello :)
Do you plan to create more panels Marcello?

Hello,
on my computer the ECAM Switcher does not work - It starts but I cannot see it (it is running (see it in my task bar) but I dont see the switcher). I am not shure if this is because I use 2 external USB Graphic cards - could this be the reason?
Thanks

Thanks again for your help

Can you try again with attachment on post #25 of this thread since B40 offset has been changed.
Also make sure WideFS is connected.
Thank you for your help Masterp, it was a FSUIPC error. I reinstalled it and worked perfect.Quote:

Antonio,
Make sure your client PC has the same workgroup with your server PC (Right click on My computer and see the Workgroup name), then WideFS will work.
I am now using Ecam switcher on client PC.
Good luck!
Thank you so much for your help MasterpQuote:

Hi Stephen!
Great work! Unfortunately i have a Problem. I Start the Ecamswitcher on Network PC with FMGS OVHD. I push a Button, the ECAM Page would be displayed. So, when i want to Open another page, didnt work. The First selected page remains. Nothing happens.
Idea?

The latest FMGS version has included the ECAM software panel itself. So you can open ECAM from network PC.Quote:
