Need testers for 737 systems simulator software

Yes you can, do you need my config file first, or is the fix already in the beta?
I will send the config when I get home tonight.
thank you for the help.

I made a preliminary fix that stops unwanted page updates, but I cannot guarantee that this will fix the issue. I can send the new beta to you with the preliminary fix. I can use the config file to see what switches have been configured on the specific cards that might cause the issue.

Marty,

I'm finally at a point to start using your software. So far it looks great. I've gotten the displays and CPFlight MCP/EFIS working, albeit without any adjustments to screen size.

The issue I'm having is that Prosim does not seem to recognize my Mastercard/USB Expansion card combo. It doesn't list it.

Prosim recognizes my Rev-Sim TQ, my joystick and my CPFlight stuff though. It also connects with SIOC when I start it.

The only thing I have hooked to my mastercard right now is my landing gear module and annunciators, which don't seem to work with Prosim alone. When SIOC is running, the landing gear shows up in Prosim, but I can't control it.

Not sure if I'm making sense.... kind of hard to explain. Regardless, the main thing is that Prosim does not list my OC cards.

Thanks,

Warren

Prosim does not directly talk to opencockpits cards because they are all handled by SIOC. The interface to opencockpits hardware all goes through SIOC variables. Prosim will talk to SIOC to update the variables and you will have to configure SIOC to output the variables to your cards.

What you need to do is configure your landing gear switch and lights to a SIOC variable of your choice first. Then generate a SIOC stub script by using your webbrowser to go to http://localhost:8080/sioc. This generated script contains all the input and output elements you have configured for SIOC. You'll need to edit this file to fill in the specific hardware ports you have connected the switch or light to. You then run the script with the SIOC program.

There is no other way to do this, since opencockpits hardware can only be controlled by the SIOC program. It might look complicated at first, but if you've done it one time, it will be a pretty straightforward procedure to get it working.

Stupid me... When I saw that Prosim listed my TQ, I assumed it was reading the "SIOC" innards. After reading your reply, and actually putting the noggin' to work, I realize it was reading the joystick card.

I'll delve into generating a script and see how it goes. I assume then, that anytime I add new hardware through an OC interface, that I will have to regenerate a script through the web interface?

On a side note, thanks so much for the way you are introducing your software. I have to say that I appreciate the opportunity to use the full suite, even in beta, while I learn it and use it. Your support is outstanding and almost immediate. Consider me a customer as you look to releasing your modules.

When you generate a SIOC stub script, all Prosim does is output all the configured SIOC variables. It does not know or care about the exact board that you map the variable to. If you add or change opencockpit cards, it's therefore not needed to regenerate the script, but you may need to edit the script you use, to set other output boards.

Also, thank you for the confidence in me and feel free to share any thoughts and ideas.

Hi,
just got testing on this and i'm amazed by the detail!
a quick test with the joystick button acting as the battery master switch worked and i'm very very happy.
thank you so much for this!
also, a quick question, is it possible to resize the displays?

Hello,

Thanks for trying out the package. We're working on the manual, so thing are a bit unclear sometimes.
Here are the keys for the ProsimDisplay module:

Cursor keys: Move the screen
Shift + Cursor keys: Quickly move the screen
Numpad +/-: Adjust size of screen
Shift + Numpad +/-: Quickly adjust size of screen
TAB: Select next screen

You can zoom in the displays to extreme detail.

Hi marty
thanks for the fast reply! i am really impressed with this. can't wait to finally get it in my sim!
i'll get to more testing when i have the time. thanks again!

i've just noticed something
the lower eicas display doesn't seem to scale properly (although not connected to flightsim at the moment)
have you noticed this or is it happening just to me?
