List of events and controls for PMDG 777

[vpiragibe]

Hello Roark.

Thank you again for the release of the excellent OC4BA_V2 + 777 drive . I am having good fun with it !!

However, I cannot change the Altimeter setting properly. It is changing , for each "altimeter setting click" of my encoder, 5 mmHg of mercury ( 1013 to 1018, 1023, 1028...) , instead of the desired 1mmHg ( 1013, 1014, 1015,.. ) up or down.

The same happens to the Minimums settings.

I dont have the OC modules,only the OC Mastercards. Therefore, I had to modify your original scripts. For this, I adapted parts of the old 737NGX scripts, that were working fine before. I noticed that you used for the 777 scripts, a different "code", inside the scripts, for the encoders, with the use of some numbers like 8192 and 8193, if I am not wrong. Could you point me the direction to where I can find the meaning of those numbers?

Best Regards

Vicente

Hi,

I know there are some issues with the MINS and BARO on the EFIS. The reason that I have used a different script code for the 777 is due to the change method to turn the knob in the 777.
They have in the 777 a drag ( drag the mouse when holding down the left or right mouse knob) metod implemented.

The 777 BARO and MINS will not work correctly with the B737 script code.

I haven't have time to really look into this issue so far.

The use of 8192 and 8193 could also have been 0 and 1. It really doesn't mean anything, it is just a way to change the values so SIOC picks up the change of the variable.


You can try to change the script as below ( also do it for the MINS)


But, don't waste a lot of time on this now, as it could be I have to amke some modification to the OCP4777C.exe to get it right( if possible with the strange way PMDG now has implemented this)


Var 0083, name ROTARY_BARO, Link IOCARD_ENCODER, Device 7, Input 20, Aceleration 2, Type 2
{
L1 = &Delta_BARO
L0 = &ROTARY_BARO * -1 // turning right should be plus
&Delta_BARO = ROTATE 0 ,1000 ,L0
L2 = &Delta_BARO
IF L2 > L1
{
IF &IN_HPA = 16384
{
&IN_HPA = 16385
}
ELSE
{
&IN_HPA = 16384
}
}
ELSE
{
IF &IN_HPA = 8192
{
&IN_HPA = 8193
}
ELSE
{
&IN_HPA = 8192
}
}
}



I will look into this issue as soon as I have some time

Hi

I have looked into this issue a little today.

It seems to me that the new parameter MOUSE_FLAG_RIGHTDRAG and MOUSE_FLAG_LEFTDRAG in the SDK doesn't work as they should. Or , it is me that doesn't have the full
understanding of how to use them properly.

I have sent a trouble ticket to PMDG.

I will come back to this issue when I get some response from PMDG

Hello Roark.

Any reply from PMDG?

By the way, do you have a forecast when you are going to publish the complete list of events and controls?

Hi,

Any reply from PMDG?

No, they haven't even sent the trouble report to any agent( that is what they call a responsible receiver of a trouble report). It is still in status "Waiting for Agent"

To me it seems like they have gone on vacation or closed the business.

By the way, do you have a forecast when you are going to publish the complete list of events and controls?

I hope to get all done before the end of this year.

If there are some variables that you would like to have more than others, send a list and I will put them in the first update.

Thank you for the immediate reply !

I will have try to select some events and controls I would like to use more often.

Hi

I had some time this afternoon to look at the OCP4777X
and the PMDG SDK in more depth.

I figured out how to implement the rest of the SDK Variables and Events in a more
effective way.

My plan is now to release the next update of OCP4777X the coming week or the week after.
This update will have all PMDG SDK Vars and Events implemented.

Hope to have some time to finalize and release next OCP4777X with all Vars and Events ( incl. the ones you want ) next week.

Can not guarantee it, but that is the plan

Roar,

When do you plan on releasing the next update for the 777?
I have not been able to use this software without major problems, as i posted in another thread. So I am looking for an update to try.

Many thanks
