I was looking for this function since a long time, but never found how to implement it now I did it with CCC. It basically light up a "altitude captured" led when the current altitude is equal to the altitude set in the autopilot +/- 50 feet.http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/72694.jpg

hi everyonefirst of all thanks to dirk for the great new fsbus software.I'm having problems with the logical and (&), the output is 1 also if one of the 2 inputs is 0. Is anyone having the same problem? Any idea?thanks

Has anyone been able to make 4 key controllers work?Because I have a simulator that even without the overhead panel, needs 4 CIDs with complete Radios, MCP, EFIS selectors, Audio Selectors, Flaps, Gear and all that.I'm just starting to think that this issue is only happening to me. Maybe everyone else has the thing down, working with more than four Key controllers.We're all experimenting with CCCs, but if we don't get this solved, then a lot of people will end up like me, with a bunch of stuff and no open ports to connect it to...Just my two cents.

Hi all, I have a big problem!!!I have construct a Fs Bus controlle for Flight Simulator and it work good, very good!!!Usually I play with Falcon 4.0 and if I use FS Bus with a Key card configurated to work like keyboard emulator it doesn't work!!!I use a string like: K+B;K-B !!!It work with the notpad but not with Falcon!!!Please help me!!!TNX in advance.Paolo

Hi everyone,I don't know if this solution has been presented yet, anyway there it is :- 1st pic : I am using a FDS NOVA Boeing CDU and a fiber optic lampp (15 euros in Bauhaus )- 2nd pic : I made a hole both in the button ( yes it is still functionnig ) and the CDU plex support- 3rd pic : this is the key witouht light - 4th pic : the same with light !advantage : simple, low cost solutiondrawback : after drilling the button the tactile feeling was not exactly the same ( a small "click" instead of a loud one ), therefore I'll check if the button is still working after lots of cycles before drilling the others.

Hi to all our resident electronic geniuses ...... I've got hold of some 2-bit rotary encoders with a pushbutton switch, and I'd like to use them for radio tuning. Twist to change the whole units, push the button and twist to change the fractions.Well, I can easily figure out how to do that with a relay.... here's how I see that working:-http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/72196.gifHowever, relays are bulky and expensive. Is there a simple way to do this switching with a couple of transistors or something similar?Richard

Hallo Finally, we

That's right.I was starting to get frustrated trying to convert to vero board - and just as I was starting to think about packing it in, a friend knows a friend who would do the boards for me at $20 a pop.So I've got a com, key and display board made up to start with.Looking forward to making these.I thought the first section I would do is the autopilot for the 737.I've been using the pmdg 737 - but is there one that is a better option for using fsbus?I'm using fs9 so don't think the current dreamfleet 737 would be a good option, plus that's an older plane.Suggestions, and I'll start getting some pictures up shortly!

Hi guys,Just wanting to know if theres anyone that can provide myself and other 737 builders, system schematics to create FSBUS CCC diagrams. Need to know how the systems are interconnected. I flow chart would be a great start.Regards,

Hi to all: Please, can help me someone with the FSBUS, I have constructed a version Thread of a MCP and it goes perfectly with FS2002 and 4 but.... I would like to use it with 767 PIC WITHOUT the Proy. Magenta, and I was thinking to assign it to the switches keys of keyboard, but I have it tried A MILLION times but I must be very A DONKEY because I do not manage to do it... Please someone can help me How like keys of keyboard are assigned in the FSBUS... Man…

Hello I've received my Iocard Master & Display Kit'sVery nice PCB high quality, congratulation to opencockpitsI'm looking in the website to find the implementation shemesto start to sold but I'vnt find them.I think they are in Gerber format, but I don't have a soft who can print them.If anyone can send my the sheme in jpeg my email is stevelep2(remove that)@bluewin.chOr if anybody know a freeware who can print Gerber files ...Thank's for your helpBOB

Hi all,(i re-post this thread, as the previous for some reason lost it.)I'm using the last 10 months the FsBus system (h/w & s/w) and i control/fly the Project Magenta or the std FS aircrafts. I have the EFIS + MCP running and almost finished the Radios. I know all the Dirk's efforts and new fuctions in Fsbus, i know how FsBus works and read/write/communicate with PC/Fsuipc/FS. My question is simple: Where are the differences between two projects FsBus and OpenCockpits? What has the one that does not have/support the other? What is better in one of them?How the choice of the one or the aother will effect end-user/flightsimmer in his flights ?As i believe it is a very…

Hello everybody!Did anybody knew a solution for starting the flyreal software via a batch file!many thankspeter

Robert asked me to post the following:Message: My sincerest apologies to those who have been waiting for a response for A320 Collection registration codes.

Hello, Just this e-mail to thank Dirck for your good and hard work for FSBUS. I have made the ComIII, FSKey and Display and it works fine

hello everyone,I am looking for the IPC (illustrated parts catalogue) for Boeing 747 classic. Does anyone know where I may buy it (except ebay) ?I need to know a few parts' part number but I found no way to do so on internet. I have searched around yahoo and google but found no way to access to any part number database. I want to know the the 747's glareshield and windsheild part number. Does anyone can give me some suggestion to me please?Alkit

I'm built Fsbus Mcp,(Thanks Dirk),but whith the 737 not work.Is't possible resolve the problem???Help me.Thanks all.p.s Sorry for my English

I've just received my rotary decoders from Richard Alty (many, thanks, Richard). I'm struggling, however, to make sense of it all since I've never used rotaries before. I have attached a diagram for somebody to point me in the right direction. Perhaps somebody can draw on it to show how the wiring goes.#1 I'm not sure which is the ground on the power input of the decoder.#2 I understand that the decoder can accommodate 3 encoders. This makes sense since there are 3 banks of 4 pins (JP1, JP2, JP3) and 3 banks of 3 pins (JP5, JP6, JP7). I'm guessing that they are the inputs and outputs of the decoder. But which is which?#3 How do I connect a rotary encoder to …

Hi all...I built my dual rotaries for each radio on my King Air. I have set up the Com1/2, Nav 1/2 so the inner knob changes the fractionals and outer changes the integers.I want to do the same for my ATC and Transponder sttings i.e. have the outer rotary knob ste the 100's and 1000's and the inner knob the 10's and 1'sANyone got any ideas how to set this up in the router ?Many thanks for your help...JB

Hi all,I like to define a pushbutton to set the Qnh to 1013 Hpa, but how I do that?Is there anybody who can help me with this, for example wich offset do I need?I've setup a rotary so that I can tune the altimeters to the current settings, but I need a pushbutton also to jump back to the standard QNH..Kind regards Jan Geurtsen

Hello all,I'm intersting in building a Yoke and pedals for my FS2004...i searched the net for explenations on how to do it but i couldn't find any,i was hoping that you can help me, i need some help on what do i need and how to put them together and connect them to the computer...basiclly, i need all the info about building a yoke and pedals (Only)thanks,Carmel Barak

Hi All,I am currently building a 777 sim using EPIC and Project Magenta and I am new to this forum.Last weekend I came across the following question: For selecting the speed for example there are 4 offsets in Project Magenta: Inc/Dec in steps of 1 and Inc/Dec in steps of ten. I think that it is necessary to use all of them because using only Inc/Dec in steps of 1 means rotating the knob too often. It is the same for the heading and altitude selectors.At the moment I have standard rotary encoders and I am thinking about using dual concentric encoders to do the job.So I am asking how you are solving this problem? Any ideas? Is there another way instead of using dual concent…

New software to control analog gauges.http://www.opencockpits.com/images/gauge.jpgNew software is available at www.opencockpits.com download area. IOCGauges is an IOCP server that connects with IOCards and controls different analog gauges.Tutorials and example configurations will be shortly available to easily build these type of elements that can be simulated and controlled through IOCards.
