XPUIPC the missing link to X-Plane

Hi Torsten.

Thanks for your continuing effort.
I installed version 1.6 and here are the news:

1) Throttle problem solved!! on the Simparts TQ actuated via
FS2Phidgets. I use the latest version and also uptated the
MSI files for the phidgets. Tested the throttles manually and
they drive the throttles normally on Xplane. Autothrottles
arm normally and do move forward on command from
the TOGA switch, the movemente is erratic however, especially
when power is reduced. So throtles are best used manually for now.

2) Speed brakes now arm normally with the green light indicator light on the main panel.It is a bit tricky but I think it has to do with calibration since
the relay and servo were calibrated for FS2004.
The nice thing is that upon landing the speed brakes deploy and
the handle moves to the extended position via servo operation.

3) The fuel cutoff valve now can be set to on and off but I still cannot
get N2 to spool and thus start the engines manually. This is strange
since a) The APU is running on B737 OVH indicator b) When turning
the starter to the GND position N1 spools and I can see the knob on
the overhead panel move on command from the hardware and c) The
fuel cutoff lever moves to on when commanded from the hardware
but yet the fuel flow remains at 0 and N2 does not spool.
As you can see commanded movements from the hardware result
in an appropriate response on Xplane and BS B737 but the fuel flow
does not actually start.

4) CDU works as comanded. I have not tested pmWhether to see
if radar images download to PM navigational display.

5) MCP works except for the BARO knob on the EFIS. It is funny
because i can change from Hectopascals to inches bypressing on the
knob. It's the rotary function that does not work.

6) Pedestal radios work with the respective plugins from Cockpitsonic
except the fire handles that work through pmSystems.

7) Overhead panel driven by pmSystems has its own logic I do not know
if it interacts with BS's B737 model. I understand it is not even complete yet.
In FS, the panels must be inactive for pmSystems to work
with PMDG and a patch applied to it to function properly,so
I think some work there is ahead, perhaps a contact with Benedict
might be useful.

Almost forgot, flaps handle also work well except that the
degress of display are not correlated to PM. It might have to
do with the B737 config file under PM.

I have been a bit busy getting back into real flying and recently
got my IPC (instrument porficiency check here in Miami) again.
I will look into the develoment kit more carefully.

Again thanks for a tremendous effort.

Hi Alan,

networkability is possible with XPUIPC and XPWideClient.exe on the clients.....

Thanks

Hi Joachim,

thanks for testing so intens and report your experience here ! Working hard to sort out these things....

Stay tuned

Thanks Torsten, I've just bought X-plane so look forward to getting it working with the P8R's Alpha FMC Glass Cockpit software.

Have fun

Dear

In my version of X-Plane 9.61 and using XPUIPC my Overhead of Cockpitsonic recognizes all PMSystem functions but the lights do not light, it is as if you fail the electric fluid. Using FS2004 no problem, all right with FSUIPC.

Could you indicate the cause.

Thanks

Jose Manuel
