I have double panels with monitors and switches that should control all ( as you may see at the image)
Monitors are working. I installed sioc , and at the sioc program the switches are working as well.
But when I launch FSX , I can't make the switches do anything.
What should I do ? I did all the manual says.

Sorry.
Possible help ?
Ellif,
There are two things that must be done at least:
1. Define in SIOC.ini the cards you are using.
2. Write a script(or small program in sioc lauguage) linking switches to FSX.
I think you may need to read Nico's page. He outlines what needs to be done.

Up up up up up up
Ellif,
Yes you have a Opencockpits USB Expansion card and a Master card.
Tell us bit more about your panel, did you build it your self ?.
To make this work you need a little program called a script to run when you start SIOC which interfaces to FSX. This program tells FSX what switches are to be used
for what function in FSX.
So if you don't have this program then you will have to learn how to write this script.
Give us some information of your setup and also what you understand about using
sioc. I fear you need to know more to get your panel going.
Please let me know more.
Thanks

Hello,
Do you mean .ssi file as script ?
I bought the panel from Future Platon from Valencia. My intention was to use for Baron 58 of default .
They said me that everything was set, but at the cd, I didn't find any manual, but just rotativos future.ssi .,baron 58.WX , PANEL.CFG, baron 58.FSSAVE, baron 58.FSSAVE ,gauges files . I put them at FSX to the regarding files.
I have sometthing to say if it is necessary or not ( I don't know) , my FSx is at Harddisk E , while iocards is at C.
I repeat the problem.
When I run sioc program, from sioc monitor, as soon as I turn switches , the green cells are appearing/disappearing ( section input)
But when I launch FSX , switches are useless , so they remain as inactive.
Future Platon's webpage is down. But however the cards are Opencockpits , this is the only place I may get help.
hank you inadvance
PS: If you need further pictures, I may add.

Future Platone - A Spanish Company-Valencia . But their website is down .I bought the simulator in the middle of 2015. I didn't have chance to test it till today.
Did you get any software from them at the time of buying.?

I just got a cd, inside there is only baron58.ssi .
Ok, thats better. You have the software.
Run SIOC and click on Edit ini.
Find this line:
Config_File=C:\Program Files (x86)\IOCards\SIOC\sioc.ssi
Replace sioc.ssi with baron58.ssi
Now find this line:
[MASTER=0,4,1,0] and remove brackets.
MASTER=0,4,1,0
Don't forget to SAVE the new file.
Let me know how you go.
