CRJ Throttle Offsets MSFS @HansH

[Michael Marx 1]

Hello all, Hello Hans,

 

I think this is the very first time that I need help from you guys, using Aerosoft and Hans Hartmann products ever since 2002....

 

My problem is double folded, but simple I hope:

 

- I am using a full size 737 simulator with various hardware (FSC, CP Flight; etc.) of course working with the main 737 model in MSFS

- I can also fly all standard aircraft as my hardware interfaces with FSUIPC to MSFS, using standard offsets (like x088C for throttle1 etc.)

- I can also fly all addon aircraft from Aerosoft (e.g. Tecnam P2006.etc.)

- There are only 2 aircraft, that do not respond to the standard throttle input, which is the CRJ and the ATR (so maybe thats why I need Hans help...)

 

IMPORTANT: this has nothing to do with the Airbus TCU topic !!!

 

As I use the FSC Throttle hardware, it just requires the correct offsets for throttle 1 and 2, but none of the standard work. Also; I dont use MSFS joystick inputs; its purely controlled through FSUPIC.

 

Can you please help me to get at least the CRJ-5 and 7 version ready to fly in MSFS for me? That would be great.

 

I am also available for private email in case we need to exchange a bit more on this.

 

Kind  regards from Munich,

 

Michael

Hi,

Do not use the MSFS default THROTTLE 1 AXIS (0 TO100%) and THROTTLE 2 AXIS (0 TO100%).

Do  not use FSUIPC either as it offsets to the default MSFS assignments

 

Instead use THROTTLE 1 AXIS and
THROTTLE 2 AXIS and make the assignments via the MSFS Controls settings.

 

The CRJ uses Lvars and therefore doesn't have it's own FSUIPC offsets.

[Michael Marx 1]

Hi, thank you. 

Ok, that explains why I cant control the CRJ by FSUIPC.

Unfortunately, the FSC Throttle is not recognized in MSFS as a Joystick, so I cant map any controls to MSFS inputs like "Throttle 1 Axis" etc.

I need to find out how to link LVARS to FSUIPC.

Thank you, this eventually explains also the ATR-42 not working, as it also uses LVARS...?

Regards and have a nice Sunday!!!

Best,

Michael

Hi,

I will work on that tomorrow.

There may be some unusual FSUIPC offsets linking to the THROTTLE 1/2 AXIS.

also there is a method to address Lvars with FSUIPC. I need to look for it.

Have a good evening.

Hi SimWare,

Thank you, I really appreciate your support.

I look forward to your ideas on how to adress LVARs with FSUIPC.

Today I made a test flight and tried a script in the fsuipc.ini (now my SAITEK rudder pedals control the throttle in the CRJ..hahah) but the FSC Throttle (a 3000 Euro product, that works with every Aircraft in MSFS) is unable to control the CRJ and ATR....

Hopefully you have an idea, or Hans...

Regards,

Michael

Hi,

 

Sorry for the late answer.
Can you please try the FSUIPC offets Throttle1 Axis Set Ex1" (67103) and "Throttle2 Axis Set Ex1" (67110) ?
I will not be able to make hands-on test until Friday myself however.

Hello Simware,

 

Thank you, that was the important hint - I needed the the two LVAR numbers 67103 and 67110 and mapped them with a little lua script to the standard offsets in fsuipc; now it works!

 

Here my script for anyone with cutom trhottle devices and a great AEROSOFT CRJ.

 

Michael

 

 

-- init throttle at idle on startup
ipc.writeSW(0x66C0, -1)
ipc.writeSW(0x66C2, -1)

function throttle_1(offset, value)
    -- 67103: Throttle1 Axis Set Ex1
    ipc.control(67103, math.floor((value + 16384) / 2))
end

function throttle_2(offset, value)
    -- 67110: Throttle2 Axis Set Ex1
    ipc.control(67110, math.floor((value + 16384) / 2))
end

event.offset(0x66C0, "SW", "throttle_1")
event.offset(0x66C2, "SW", "throttle_2")

Hi,

Thank you for the feedback and also big thank you for sharing your code and knowledge. 

Have fun flights.
