FMER and rotaries Hi Majapahit Today I found a solution in my case to use rotary with BARO Pressure 1013 inside my M2000C I use SPD it is more complicated but you can try this solution with your FA-18C. It is the same for HDG001 to HDG360 SPDSEL- = BARO_PRESS_CALIB -6000000 SPD100- = BARO_PRESS_CALIB +950 SPD101- = BARO_PRESS_CALIB +951 SPD102- = BARO_PRESS_CALIB +952 SPD103- = BARO_PRESS_CALIB +953 SPD104- = BARO_PRESS_CALIB +954 SPD105- = BARO_PRESS_CALIB +955 SPD106- = BARO_PRESS_CALIB +956 SPD107- = BARO_PRESS_CALIB +957 SPD108- = BARO_PRESS_CALIB +958 SPD109- = BARO_PRESS_CALIB +959 SPD110- = BARO_PRESS_CALIB +960 SPD111- = BARO_PRESS_CALIB +961 SPD112- = BARO_PRESS_CALIB +962 etc until I want SPD161- = BARO_PRESS_CALIB +1011 SPD162- = BARO_PRESS_CALIB +1012 SPD163- = BARO_PRESS_CALIB +1013 SPD164- = BARO_PRESS_CALIB +1014 SPD165- = BARO_PRESS_CALIB +1015 SPD166- = BARO_PRESS_CALIB +1016 SPD167- = BARO_PRESS_CALIB +1017 SPD168- = BARO_PRESS_CALIB +1018 SPD169- = BARO_PRESS_CALIB +1019 SPD170- = BARO_PRESS_CALIB +1020 etc and the same with the negartive but I use always the same + SPDSEL- = BARO_PRESS_CALIB -6000000 SPD100- = BARO_PRESS_CALIB +950 SPD101- = BARO_PRESS_CALIB +951 SPD102- = BARO_PRESS_CALIB +952 SPD103- = BARO_PRESS_CALIB +953 SPD104- = BARO_PRESS_CALIB +954 SPD105- = BARO_PRESS_CALIB +955 SPD106- = BARO_PRESS_CALIB +956 SPD107- = BARO_PRESS_CALIB +957 SPD108- = BARO_PRESS_CALIB +958 SPD109- = BARO_PRESS_CALIB +959 SPD110- = BARO_PRESS_CALIB +960 SPD111- = BARO_PRESS_CALIB +961 SPD112- = BARO_PRESS_CALIB +962 etc SPD161- = BARO_PRESS_CALIB +1011 SPD162- = BARO_PRESS_CALIB +1012 SPD163- = BARO_PRESS_CALIB +1013 SPD164- = BARO_PRESS_CALIB +1014 SPD165- = BARO_PRESS_CALIB +1015 SPD166- = BARO_PRESS_CALIB +1016 SPD167- = BARO_PRESS_CALIB +1017 SPD168- = BARO_PRESS_CALIB +1018 SPD169- = BARO_PRESS_CALIB +1019 SPD170- = BARO_PRESS_CALIB +1020 In SPD+ clockwise and SPD- underclockwise It is Ok for my pressure You can try it and if you found solution please do not hesitate to post it.:) I am also interessted with your key int for FA18-C for a friend:thumbup:

Hi Majapahit Excellent if your plane works. I agree that concerning rotary it is more difficult. ;BARO ;Altimiter BAR- = STBY_PRESS_ALT -4200 BAR-- = STBY_PRESS_ALT -42000 BAR+ = STBY_PRESS_ALT +4200 BAR++ = STBY_PRESS_ALT +42000 I do not know why because this syntax works perfectly for A10-C Difference was 3200 but I think that it is not the problem. I try to make the same thing with my M2000-C without success.:( It works with control reference but not when I try to use VRI2DCS. But all yhe keys are recognized inside VRI2DCS If you find solution please give us Cheers Jean-Charles

HI others ansswer About COM UFC "LShift - Num4" UFC COMM 1 Channel Selector Knob - CCW/Decrease Instrument Panel; UFC "LShift - Num7" UFC COMM 1 Channel Selector Knob - CW/Increase Instrument Panel; UFC "LShift - Num1" UFC COMM 1 Channel Selector Knob - PULL Instrument Panel; UFC If you are right panel is UP Front Controller UFC COMM1 Channel Selector Knob Pull FA-18C_hornet/UFC_COMM1_PULL You see that it is a 0,1 You can use APLAT+ = UFC_COMM1_PULL 1: UFC_COMM1_PULL 1 APLAT- = UFC_COMM1_PULL 0: UFC_COMM1_PULL 0 or CTLBN0OF = UFC_COMM1_PULL 0: UFC_COMM1_PULL 0 CTLBN0ON =UFC_COMM1_PULL 1: UFC_COMM1_PULL 1 or CTLBN0ON =UFC_COMM1_PULL 0: UFC_COMM1_PULL 1 but in that case you can switch on ON but not return OFF The most important is to see the number of positions you have 1,2,3 or rotary for encoders it is more difficult but you have example and have to try it. idem for Keyboard Pushbutooon CLR FA-18C_hornet/UFC_CLR I hope to help you Cheers Jean-Charles

HI Sorry it is Keys.ini not init does not exist. You take the keys.ini you find in software and modify it as you want I am looking for on Contyrol Panel and I saw that Strobe Lights Switch has 2 positions 0,1,2 in that case it is different I think if you take APLAT+ it is a single switch O,1 I think that APLAT + is Ok forGenerator for example try this L_GEN_SW APLAT+ = L_GEN_SW 1: L_GEN_SW 1 APLAT- = L_GEN_SW 0: L_GEN_SW 0 Said if it is OK About Strobe there are 3 position and FMER does not have it. In that case you can use 3 pos buttons try this WX,STA,WPT in ths left corner of MCP in bottom EFIWX=STROBE_SW 0: STROBE_SW 1 EFISTA=STROBE_SW 1: STROBE_SW 2 EFIWPT=STROBE_SW 2: STROBE_SW 0 I am going to see if there are others possibilities. I use this software with A10-C and M2000 I am going tos see your post and request about encoders and COM it is more complicated COM does not works today and I hope in future find solutions? Here is attached for example a keys.init be carefull it is a txt file and you cannot use before update file with note pad++ but sure you know :smilewink: I am going to launch FA-18 and try some switch This syntax works I launch at this moment the plane I saw that it is written Ready and your COM3 is declare (Suppose you have also verify with your VR Insight .exe) CTLBN0OF = L_GEN_SW 0:L_GEN_SW 0 CTLBN0ON = L_GEN_SW 1:L_GEN_SW 1 CTLBN1OF = R_GEN_SW 0:R_GEN_SW 0 CTLBN1ON = R_GEN_SW 1:R_GEN_SW 1 CTLBN2OF = APU_CONTROL_SW 0:APU_CONTROL_SW 0 CTLBN2ON = APU_CONTROL_SW 1:APU_CONTROL_SW 1 CTLBN3OF = CTLBN3ON = CTLBN4OF = CTLBN4ON = CTLBN5OF = CTLBN5ON = CTLBN6OF = CTLBN6ON = EFIWX=STROBE_SW 0: STROBE_SW 1 EFISTA=STROBE_SW 1: STROBE_SW 2 EFIWPT=STROBE_SW 2: STROBE_SW 0 You spoke of FSX do you use Linda especialy with Vr Insight I use also this perfect software. :) as VRI2DCS Brassem About material do you have SAITEK material as PZ55 70 and 69? If it is YES it exists another Sofware DCSFP marvelous as VRI2DCS it use the same application DCSBIOS and I can help you if need If it does not Work open Keys.ini with note Pad++ copy inside model I propose and launch VRI2DCS.exe normaly you see the keys when you use buttons it changes and it is not necessary to launch DCS keys.ini.txt

Hi Majapahit First I think that you do not use the correct syntax inside your keys.ini APLAT+ = STROBE_SW 1 APLAT- = STROBE_SW 0 Here is the right in my opinion conform to key example you found in this post APLAT+ = STROBE_SW 1: STROBE_SW 1 APLAT- = STROBE_SW 0: STROBE_SW 0 Good it seems that DCS bios works. You use FMER I saw is it correct Now you have to create from Keys.init your own keys file but you do not change the name Keys.init with Note Pad++ What are your F18-A buttons you will use? Send me your list and I create and verify inside I had the plane if all is in function. As I explained you create for every button for example if you want to use APLAT+ and APLAT- APLAT+ = STROBE_SW 1: STROBE_SW 1 APLAT- = STROBE_SW 0: STROBE_SW 0 You can find all the buttons and position inside DCS Bios and Control reference example or if it is a Switch 3 positions you modify Button1=XXXX 0:XXXX 1 Button2=XXXX 1:XXXX 2 Button3=XXXX 2:XXXX 0 Do not hesitate to send me what you want Cheers Jean-Charles

Hi Majapahit I saw your post and I am using VR Insight all MCP FMER You have inside Keys.init the right form in your case for example APLAT+ = STROBE_SW 1: STROBE_SW 1 APLAT- = STROBE_SW 0: STROBE_SW 0 If it is not too late I can help you. I sent a PM Regards:)

Hi Ron For my material Saitek I use this drivers https://support.logitech.fr/fr_fr/produ ... /downloads and the best is that you can verify every panels you had Installation in C:\Program Files (x86)\Logitech drivers FSX et FSW but OK for every software as DCS and the most interesting under C:\Program Files\Logitech\Flight Panels you can test every panel with LCD Leds buttons I suppose you had the same

Thanks for profile I do not have a BIP but it seems that there are a lot of Leds. It is the same with Radio Panel 8 segments display Different with PZ55 only switches Is your panel is supplied directly on USB computer ports or do you use USB port supply? In my case for Radio Panel I use an USB with power supply You can also verify all voltage in particular Processor seeing if they are correct when you see the problem. but perhaps you had made that? It is an idea.

Hi BrassEm Thank-you very much for your software I use with DCS and my CDU and FMER oldest MCP On the first post you said that RADIO mode to be investigated Do-you have a solution today on FMER or MCP about COM1 COM2 etc I could test I use the CDU2_MCP2B.ini and adapt encoder as pressure and CRS but I do not try to obtain on LCD the indication. If you have some help it should be great

ALL is perfect now I found solution . I use also PITCH_TRIM_WHEEL and 1LCD_WHEEL to rotate :) :) I try to program my Multi panel PZ70 and especialy LCD I found video about formula For example Inside profile bindings you use ALT_MSL_FT but I did not find it inside mainpanelinit.lua as explained CaptZeen Where I can have a complement of explanation for using PZ70 I found your formula.text and example I try to program HSI-CRS_KNOB but the result is not convincing I used truncate(HSI_CRS_KNOB*360/65536) but I do not have the same results on LCD 0 to 360 as CRS Knob What is Truncate CaptZeen give (((HSI_CRS_KNOB*0,00549)+0)) same result LCD does not give a good result

Many thanks Arthur to take attention I delete my message because I have also an answer from WarLord on Discord

HI EMC I suppose that you do not have any problem with ID copy Did-you have a problem of update Firewall Did-you change something about DCSBIOS Did you download a new version? Did-you try to launch DCS and after Launch Control-Reference.html and verify that DCS BIOS is connected with DCS Did-you try to use in your export.lua only the first line You make a backup of your export.lau and uses only dofile(lfs.writedir()..[[scripts\DCS-BIOS\BIOS.lua]]) About your last file on export.lua Iam not an expert but you do not have any[[ local Tacviewlfs=require('lfs'); dofile(Tacviewlfs.writedir()..'Scripts/TacviewGameExport.lua') like in [[scripts\VAICOMPRO\VAICOMPRO.export.lua]]) It is some ideas Maclaw

Thanks Black Library and Ron 533 for all bindings profiles Does it exist FA18-C profile for PZ55 and PZ70 I found the last Ron533 but it is for BIP and they are some keys on PZ55. I agree with you that with Tutorials Paul Marsh it is an excellent manner to begin :)
