Go Flight

[Bob Reed]

Is anyone using Go Flight switch modules with PMSystems? And if so can you give a brief basic setup?

Hi Bob,

I am still searching docs and tips to pilot PM Systems with my RP48 RMK and T8 RMK modules.

I also want to use this hardware with PMRJGlass Cockpit, but the only way i can use it actually is using GFKEYS.

I don't understand how I can use the advanced FSUIPC functions (where are the offset corresponding to the wanted functions, which value i must set to abtain what i want and so;;;

If anybody knows....

Denis, what aircraft are you building? I am using the default Learjet with PMRJ and I can control the majority of functions just fine. Can you elaborate? Also, You may want to do some forum searching over at GF (although it's not the most active forum).

Best,

Nice to see your answer !

I use the default Lear. I actually use 10 goflight modules. I have 2 RMK cards in stock and wait 2 others. My master PC is a P4 3.00 Ghz (It is just correct with FS X). This master PC has PMSystems installed, but I don't use it actually. When I have the next PC, I will convert this P4 in PM slave. I have 3 Flight Illusion gauges running on the master.
My second PC is displaying PMRJGC on 2 8" LCD. I want to connect my RMK cards to this second PC and install the knobs to drive PMRJ between the 2 LCD screens.

Can you elaborate? Also, You may want to do some forum searching over at GF (although it's not the most active forum).
There is a ot of work to achieve my simulator ! EG : I cannot drive the fuel valves correctly (why do they work sometimes and not anytime ?), the pressursation system is not working (and in PMRJGC this part is displayed but not working. The PM guys have confirmed this in a mail in may, but the next update did'nt correct this bug). I don't know how to drive a PMRJ or a PMSystems function with FSUIPC. Do you have a Learjet file for PM Systems ?


Best,

Best regards

Hi Bob

You can program this modules (Swiches and Buttons) in FSUIPC direct on Buttons page like a joystickbutton. Should not be a problem.
To use the Leds and Switches / Buttons you would need to use GFDisplay from Pete.

The only GF thing which I couldn't get to program via FSUIPC are the four knobs of the RP48: for this reason I'm still using GFKeys with the RP48.

I have two RP48's programmed fine through FSUIPC. What is wrong in your system? Each of the rotary switches are programmable as 4 "buttons" in FSUIPC, fast and slow in each direction.

OK, didn't know about this other opportunity ...

My conclusion came simply because after accessing the "buttons" section in the same way done for programming the RP48 push buttons, operating the knob wasn't "recognized" as a "joystick# x - button# y" input, so I thought there was no way to assign a FSUIPC command to the rotating knobs (yet) ... glad to know I was wrong !

Where shall I go to know more about this feature ?

Thanks a lot Peter !

This is why I am puzzled. It works fine here. Maybe your GFdev.dll is an old version? Try updating your GF software. Or look on my Support Forum, the version I use is available in one of the Downloads announcements.

The section on Buttons in the FSUIPC User Guide describes it, including the fast/slow left-right slow fast arrangement << < -- > >>
