Lights/annunciators

[janpedersen]

Hi.
I´m new to Phidgets, and before I go out and buy my panel hardware, can someone tell me if I have got this right:
All the annunciators and lights in the cockpit, can they be assigned in FS2Phidget, or only if there is a FSUIPC-offset for it? Or is this wishful thinking?
And again, when to assign to a digital output, and to the LED64 board?

Thanks,
Jan

Hi,

Yes, this is right. Your lights and switches are completely custimizable in FS2Phidgets as long as the offsets are available in FSUIPC.

You may want to buy a Phidget or two first to play with and test the software to get a feel for it. But you have the general concept correct :)

Hi Jan,

Currently all non-Microsoft developed software in the world that interacts with Microsoft Flight Simulator goes through FSUIPC - unless you are Bill Gates' brother or major shareholder ;)

I would also recommend buying few cards and trying them out.
The Interfacekit, Servo and LED64 are good starting points.

Alan.
