Title: XPUIPC and PM offsets over a network
Post by: Bob Reed on June 27, 2016, 05:31:15 PM
Is there a way to send PM Offsets over XPUIPC like there is in FSUIPC? If not I have to come up with another idea.....

I know there's a way to "Config" XPUIPC to add new offsets.... I haven't looked at doing so yet, but there is a facility to do so.

I do not need to add them, they are already there. I need to send them over the network. I am pretty sure there is a way to do it. Just need to find out how.

Hi Bob

There is the XPWideClient... like the Wideclient for fsuipc

It will connect to the XPUIPC machine over the net. Then all the offsets are available on the clients...

I am running the client software. So all I have to do is "trip" the offset and it will be read over the network by PM?

That's pretty much it. If that offset isn't pushed automagically to XPWideClient, you will need to go back to the config for XPUIPC and add that particular offset manually.

I recall in earlier conversations that the author has included pretty much all the PM offsets, so chances are you should be good.

Do you mean the feature assign a button to offset ?

E.g when pressed send offset 0x4711, when released send offset 0x4712 ?

Ahhh.....

The original request was missing the "When" clause...  ::)

You can find this feature in the xpuipc menu under xpuipc+ joystick....

Its a bit rudimentary, but it is raelly hard to code fancy UI in X-Plane...

Is this the one I am already using to set my TOGA, AT and Auto Pilot disconnect? I am using XPUIPC + Joystick buttons?
