SIOC to FSUIPC Button (resolved)

[rs3tier]

Hi Guys

I am hoping someone can give me a little help getting SIOC to fire a Joystick button in FSUIPC.

I currently have a button configured in FSUIPC - and when I press it it shows up as Joy# 0 and Btn# 3 (so button 3 on Joystick 0).

I have the following SIOC script which I am trying to get to emulate pressing this button but it does not work.  I am not sure but my feeling is I am using the wrong offset ($3340) as most things I have read suggest this offset refers to Joy# 64

Can anyone tell me what offset I should use for Joy# 0 - or otherwise see what might be wrong with this script??

Thanks,
Rob

  {
    &SaitekYoke = CHANGEBIT 3, v4002 // toggle bit 3 of joystick 0
  }
}

Var 5000, name command, Link FSUIPC_OUT, Offset $9400, Length 2

I did this by first creating a custom offset in FSUIPC assigned to the corresponding button, then wrote SIOC script to respond to the custom offset.

In the B-52 sim this is how I used to SIOC Sounds for actions like the bomb bay door transition sounds.

Sorry, I should have updated this post.
I found the solution eventually - which really just involved unmasking my own stupidity.

I assumed I actually had to use a real joystick button to act as a "place holder" of sorts.  Once i realised the virtual joystick just meant that I could treat one of the SIOC inputs as they joystick button, then everything started working beautifully - it got detected as Joystick #64, button 0

Thanks
