toggle switches to fs9

[smartarze]

hi all please can someone help me its driving me mad,

I have a board from leo bodnar to which i have wired 9 toggle switches to control lights in leveld 767. Firstly i used the mouse macro in fsuipc to get these to work which they did nicely, however when i restart a flight or exit flightsim, the next flight i lose the settings and the switches no longer work.

This is where i need your help, is there something i'm missing or is there an easier way of doing it. I started to research on using the leveld sdk but it looks so complicated and i just don't know where to start, I can't seem to find a walkthrough for dummies like me

If someone can give a step by step for getting a switch to work with sdk then that would be most helpful

thankyou

What you need is the FSUIPC offset value for the function you want to control. Then you just assign your switch to that offset to make it work.

how do i find that? also where do i assign it to the switch?


I am totally new to all this



ps thanks for your reply

Actually, I think with Level D it isn't as easy as just assigning - if I remember properly. Some programs like Level D and PMDG don't provide the offsets. Go to www.lekseecon.nl and www.mycockpit.org/forums/showthread.php?p=34549 for the Level D solution.

Hi,
You can use my free FSCONV program, it provides lots of FSUIPC offsets for the Level-D 767. The light controls are described in section 3.2, 3.3 and 3.4 of the Manual.
Register to my forum first and download from there.

hi niko i presume, i tried using your product but couldn't find any step by step instructions for doing it, i looked at the manual but couldn't figure it out.

Hi,

Everything as far as FCONV is concerned is in the Manual. You have to use FSConvigurator to activate the offset with the bits that control the lights first.

Then you have do 'something' with the software of your interface card to set/release the right bits in this FSUIPC offset when toggling a switch.

is this the code for a leveld light switch?

how do i then assign this to my toggle switch as leo's board doesn't have any software

? don't know what you mean by that.... but the lights switches in FSCONV are defined in section 3.2, 3.3 and 3.4 of the FSCONV Manual.

There is a distinction in lights buttons, and lights switches. For the switches you have a choice in using buttons (toggle versions) or using on/off switches.
A lights switch in the Level-D is controlled by setting/clearing a bit in one of the corresponding FSUIPC offsets at bytes 0x8B34, 0x8B35, 0x8B36 and 0x8B37

Don't know leo's board, you better ask him... How does one normally activate a bit in a fsuipc offset with leo's board? If that is not possible it is pretty useless... imho

thanks, I understand that the details for the lights are in the manual but for someone who hasn't a clue where to start there is no other details, i've been researching this for over a week and i'm still no closer to getting a switch assigned.
