HELP ! HELP ! HELP !

My cockpit is generic and the commands that I am trying to get at are some of the offsets available from FSUIPC4, which would not involve more than ten or twelve.

What would you like to do with these commands? You state it's not buttons... It's easier to recomend a card if we know the spesiffic functions.

In my original mail I mentioned that my main objective for this card was to create an O/Head warning panel which could contain offsets which included for example like; Out Marker ,Mid Marker , In Marker, Overspeed, Doors Open, Stall, Gear Busy, Gear Up, Gear Down, Nose Wheel on Ground, Left Wheel on Ground, Right Wheel on Ground, Low Fuel and Low RPM etc... If you like you could call it a warning lights panel.As I understand it these are fed variables from the operating FSX.

Easiest way is probably to buy one of these:

Or hack into it, and just use the interface and connect your own LED's.

Problem solved!

For AlexJ

Many thanks for your suggestion. I had seen this Saitek option and did seriously consider it, however , I have spent so much time and effort creating my cockpit I felt that to use something like this it would just not fit in. I have attached two photos which show clearly the warning panel which I have to replace (the top right O/Head panel) . I would very much like to keep it in "the same family" as the rest.! !Controls-Cockpit.jpgWarning Panel.jpg

Why dont you just use the pcb from the saitek and hook up your own LEDs? That way you get to use the easy to use saitek software and and no programming required. Otherwise id suggest the open cockpits led output card for 50 euros and learn sioc. Sioc is not as hard to learn as you think. Once you have a template script you can customise it to your own fsuipc offsets. All you do is copy and paste each led and variable script but just change the fsuipc offset and change the action required to what you want your LED to do. Give it ago!

"Once you have a template script "

Could you direct me where to get a copy of one of these ?

One other question. Is the Open Cockpits Master Card required as well or does this led output card stand alone ?

[No Longer Active]

No master card required...just buy the USB LED Output Card. There are examples of Sioc on the OC website. Just google the topic too there is quite alot of info about to get the hang of it. Also may members on here will help with a bit of code.

I would point your attention to the PoKeys cards, and the free and very comprehensive configuration application called FSSymphony! I recommend for you to download the manual for this software to get the idea of how it can be used, which I think must be one of the easiest and most open ended paths you could find. The opening paragraph of the manual gives you an idea of what it is all about:
"Version 2.0 supports both cockpit builders with no programming experience just by let them select the required function from a drop-down list, as well as user who want to get deeper in functionality. They can define own functions, including manipulating offsets and doing logical comparison."
