PMDG B737-800 GPWS FSUIPC 5

[phindar]

Hi all,

First of all ,i would like to introduce my self my name is Nathan and i'm from Tasmania Australia.
I Have been building my B737-800 Home cockpit for the last 12 months .I am currently having issues with programming the GPWS Panel (Lower MIP) with FSUIPC 5 As i am currently using Prepar3d Version 4.1.
I have got the switches to work using my BBI-32 bodnar Card with the correct event id's  . But the main issue is they won't work unless i manually click the Missile switch covers up in the Virtual cockpit .is there a way to program FSUIPC to automatically open the switch covers when the switch is flicked on ??

as i plan not to use the VC at all once my Mip and overhead are built .

any help would be most Appreciated .

Kind Regards
Nathan

Which aircraft model are you using..?  I am guessing this is a PMDG Aircraft, and the switch position won't move unless you click the covers first.  very interesting.  I am going to say this is a limitation with the aircraft model your using..  not the fault of FSUIPC.

hi and thanks for the reply

Yes this is the PMDG 737-800 model i am using ,there is a seperate event id for the switch covers ,which is not really realistic if i have to push a seperate button to open them.

You'd need to do a LUA script with FSUIPC.  The script can do the combination sequence: Open the cover, and then press the button.  There are a lot of examples of how to do LUA scripts out there.  Just a matter of time and trial and error to get it working correctly.
