Hi,
Can someone tell me how to get these lights to come on separately when you turn one sws to off.
2 come on at the same time because offsets are the same, for example HYD ELEC PMPS 2off are the same,
HYD ENG PMPS 2off are same.
Same for Fuel Pmps and Generators.
The Event IDs are different for each sws, so they are set ok, so why are 2 lights coming on together when 1 sws is turned off.
I would like someone to help sort this out.

Hi lud733,

here my dear you are wrong.

It is in the list:

HYDRAULICS
64C1 2 BYTE x 2 HYD_annunLOW_PRESS_eng[2] Boolean
64C3 2 BYTE x 2 HYD_annunLOW_PRESS_elec[2] Boolean
64C5 2 BYTE x 2 HYD_annunOVERHEAT_elec[2] Boolean
64C7 2 BYTE x 2 HYD_PumpSw_eng[2] Boolean
64C9 2 BYTE x 2 HYD_PumpSw_elec[2] Boolean

Critical ist the [2]. That means that you have two seperate annunicators. One for offset 64C1 and one for 64C2. These are the LEDs.
If you find a number in brackets in the list that always mean that there are two separate annunicators or switches.
If you have a look to the offsets they goes on in double steps - C1, C3, C5, C7, C9. 1st offset is for the left and 2nd is for the right LED/switch. So you don't have the same offset for both. Define them in MF as 1 Byte long INT and use 64C1 and 64C2, 64C3 and 64C4 and so on...

Otherwise it would not be possible to switch the switches separately. From your point of view you switch them both on the same time. So have a look on the [ ]

Does this help you?

Hello StephanHo,
Yes its makes sense , I should open my eyes more, thanks for that but what about The Fuel
sws. Same offset for Fwd [2] and Aft[2]

646A 2 BYTE x 2 FUEL_annunLOWPRESS_Fwd[2] Boolean
646C 2 BYTE x 2 FUEL_annunLOWPRESS_Aft[2]Boolean
646E 2 BYTE x 2 FUEL_annunLOWPRESS_Ctr[2] Boolean

Also ELEC. Same offset for [2]
6478 2 BYTE x 2 ELEC_annunDRIVE[2]
6481 2 BYTE x 2 ELEC_GenSw[2]
6489 2 BYTE x 2 ELEC_annunGEN_BUS_OFF[2]

Hi lud733,

it's always the same system.. Have a look at the offsets 646A [2], 646C [2], then there is also an offest at 646B and 646D and so on for the annunicators.
You have 6 fuel pumps so you have 6 annunicators for low pressure.

Same for the electric. For every engine one. Always the same. Two drives, tow switches two busses.

Look at hte B747, there you will often find a [4], so you have for times the same for every circulation or circuit.

There are never the same offsets, they were summarized, so the list is shorter - if you want: optimized

Hi StephanHo,

Thanks for the insight into offset system ,and I need to learn into FSUIPC more, but you have been
very helpful.

Regards Ludwig

Hi Ludwig,

as you see it is not so difficult to work with MobiFlight and FSUIPC. It is in the nature of things that there is to learn how to use them. But you will see, the oftener you work with them, the easier it goes.

Hi StephanHo,

Happy days, all lights and sws work perfect.

Ludwig
