MobiFlight Community Support

Hi everybody.

I have a DIY Firepanel bought some months ago and now I want to bring it on with Arduino and Mobiflight but I am searching like a motherf**** for those offsets

What I found is:

Engine Fire Flag (probably the Handles with red Caps): 3366 Size 1 (Bit 0 = ENG1, Bit 1 = ENG2)
APU Fire Flag (probably the APU Handle with the red cap) 0B53 Size 1

And then - my results ends ....

I have no clue where all the Offsets are and where to find (I googled a lot)

Missing:

Announciators:
- ENG1 Overheat
- ENG 2 Overheat
- WHEEL WELL
- FAULT
- APU DET INOP
- APU Bottle discharged
- L Bottle Discharged
- R Bottle Discharged
- Green lamp 1
- Green lamp 2
- Green lamp APU

Switches:
- OVHT DET (A / Normal / - ENG 1
- TEST (FAULT/INOP ; OVHT/FIRE)
- BELLCUTOUT
- ENG1 DISCH L and R
- APU DISCH L and R
- ENG2 DISCH L and R
- OVHT DET (A / Normal / - ENG 2
- ENGINES EXT TEST (1 / 2)


I dont know what to do - I hope someone tried it and knows more as I know.

EDIT: Forgot the Handle Lock Solenoid + Handle up/down

Thanks in advance

Hi Reensel,

is this for an Airbus? which Simulator?

Hi Stephan,

Header was 737-800 Its a Boeing. Simulator is Prepar3D. I mean I use ProSim and their Flight Modell but for the FSP I wanted to use Arduino and Mobiflight.

Greets from EDDB

Hi Reensel!

Oh, I do not know anything about ProSim.
Wait, please, until pizman back from vacation, who can tell you more. But other Pro-Simmer can also answer here.

PS: Du darfst auch gerne hier in deutsch schreiben. Dieses Forum supportet beide Sprachen. Wenn du einen größeren Userkreis ansprechen möchtest, dann auch gerne englisch.

Hi Stephan.
Gerne

Ich glaube ich habe es mir zu einfach vorgestellt. Ich war der Meinung, dass die FSUIPC Offsets für alle möglichen Aktionen gibt. Ich wusste nicht, dass es Flugzeug Modell abhängig / Simulator abhängig ist.

Auch ein Hintergrund ist, dass ich auch ein OEM FirePanel habe und den Locking Mechanismus über Arduino und ein Relay Modul steuern möchte. Es gibt zwar eine bequeme Variante von Phidgets jedoch ist sie sehr teuer. Denn dann könnte man dies ganz einfach in ProSim einstellen.

Is this for the PMDG NGX?

No for the ProSim Flight Modell but now I tried something different.

I opened ProSim Config and Checked the "FSUIPC Support". Then I was configure the FIRE Settings and I could give a random Output (in my Case APU Bottle Discharged) a random OFFSET like 0x9910 and I would enter these OFFSET in MobiFlight to test whether it works or not. Could make sense I am not at home - will try it later. If it works - I found out my Issue

Another question - if I would not have ProSim.

How would this works with just FSUIPC? I mean with just the Prepar3D Software and maybe PMDG 737?

Hi guys.

That was the correct way....
I not use prosim but i read the manual ( to help aother users here)

In ProSim you can "SET" all the Stuff to Offsets of your choice.
Just note... Not every Offset is free.... You should check before if a offset is available. I recommend to make a good system. Plan how many offsets you need.... Save Space by using the mimimum Size. Finaly check for a free area and then write a list !

About last question.....

FSUIPC is just the communication plattform. It include the "standard" range of Offsets.... That is used in FSX/P3D Standard Aircrafts.
In case a standard Aircraft have only the 3 warning switches and nothing else ( other things are not simmulated there) so there exest NO Offsets !

If you use a ADDON that have those things then THIS AddOn must support data to FSUIPC Offsets by itself.
In ProSim this is done by this configurator Tool.... In PMDG for example there exist a own Offset List that include this outputs !
Check here the FSUIPC Folder..... there is a PDF File for PMDG737 that inlcude all Offsets !
