Need testers for 737 systems simulator software

[ANDYSMITH]

Hi Marty, new software is amazing, FSUIPC offsets and all good job. I feel bad even asking this but then you did ask for testers. I have the fuel temp. servo right above my head and it always growles, I think it is because the numbers have too many places past the decimal and the servo always hunts for the right position. If you could round the temp number to one degree increments or maybe even one tenth might solve the problem.
One more question, I have several pictures and one CAD file of the 737 overhead and I do not see a "window heat power" switch. Where is it?

The fuel temp is indeed changing, according to the outside temperature. I will run it through an extra rounding, to stop excessive updates.

The "window heat power" is the center "window heat" switch, which has 3 states: Off (normal), OVHT (for testing the overheat lights) and "power test" for testing the power in case the temperature is high enough for the green lights not to go on. This line is the "power test" state of the switch. It was supposed to be called "power test", but apparently I forgot the power "test".

WOW WOW WOW.

I have been configuring a load of switches and stuff and I must say that Prosim takes about 80 procent of the work out of configuring the SIOC code.

I initially used the Prosim option to generate a stub and then I modified the stub to suit my situation. I have a lot of things that still need to be connected but here is my config stub as of now, feel free to copy and use it if you need it.

Once you have vcompiled the sioc code, go into Prosim and open the configuration screen, there you can configure all your switches and Annunciators by choosing IOCP from the drop down menu and then, in the little box that appears to the right of the pull down menu, you enter the Var number that you have defined in the SIOC script.

This is all basic stuff, like on and offl. I will be working on the duel intensity LEDS tonight and will add them to the script later.

I hope this helps someone.


@Marty, thanks for your time on Saturday, it was great flying again, All Filipe could talk about was the sim and his landing at LOWI

Hi Marty, I have been using your software every day and have no real problems. But I would like to know if the "alternate flaps" switch is working? It does Not work on mine. If not I dont need it ,I can re rout that switch directly and make it work. But I dont want to rewire it if it should work through your program?

Thanks again for the great work.

Yes, it works, but the problem with it is that many throttle units provide a driver that overwrites the flap setting based on the flaps handle. As long as you don't run such a driver, the alternate flaps switch can be used like the real one. I've heared that these issues will be solved in later driver releases. With these drivers, prosim will directly control the throttle unit.

[ANDYSMITH]

OK, that makes good sence. I should be able to temporarily unassign my flap lever and then your flap switch sould work. I will try that when I get home.
If that does the trick I will put it back like it was and I should never "need" the alternate switch unless I "really do" loose my pot on the flap lever, realistic enough for me.

Thanks for the quick reply

[737NUT]

Great software! Thanks! I plan to donate shortly. Question, would it be possible to have it start in a different mode than cold and dark in the future? Sometimes i am short on time and would like to jump in and fly right away. Maybe be able to save a set-up and choose on start-up or read current state of switches? Thanks,
Rob

When i type in the http://localhost:8081/sioc in the browser window, i get error that says site unavailable, It worked one time to get me the sioc/iocp data but hasnt worked since. Does it save this stub file somewhere or do we have to cut and paste it from the browser window?

It should be port 8080 not 8081 unless you have changed that in Prosim737

[737NUT]

It should be port 8080 not 8081 unless you have changed that in Prosim737

It was changed as Port 8080 didnt work on my PC The instructor station works fine on 8081
