Previously I requested help with JeeHell Airbus. Thank you Again FSlikerXY. But Jeehell is more of a PIT SIM wich is great when I build my pit sometime next year.
For now Im sticking with the aerosoft airbus. Now here is what I can do so far...
Im using linda to program rotary encoders to turn the knobs on the fcu. Works like a charm!!
Now im trying to display said value to my segment display via mobiflight.
My request is help on what file to put where and help setting up a lua to help me display what i need. step by step in basic newbie language.
I understand there are few instructions on this site already however they are a bit to complex for me to understand as of yet.
I was able to get some result after hours of online reading.
however when the Lua is running I get a red syntax error and the fcu on the fsx airbus does not change. but when I kill the LUA all is normal on the airbus

Hello
I would build home cockipit on aerosoft airbus. I would like to understand how to assign an offset contact by attributing L var ap_throttle. I downloaded Linda and Aerosoft 4.4. But I can not get it to work. Can you help me. Thank you
Hello
I'm trying to try to run via linda and aerosoft 4.4 my cockipit, but I can not associate the respective offset. Can you give me an example of Linda how to associate it.
Thank you.
Basicly when you can write the script ( and understand the scripting language) you can include the script into the Auto File. for example
Read the FSUIPC Guide or google a bit like " Running LUA Script in FSX"
Additional you can use for Testing a Joystickbutton. Simply set in FSUIPC for example that Button 1 should Start the LUA script and Button 2 should Kill the Lua script.
Then you can Test.... Push button 1.... Lua should run.... Check if your used custom offset include the Data you try to read out. If Yes Kill Lua with button 2.
When you see your script is working then you can make a entry in the Auto File to tell FSUIPC it should run your script for example always when Aerosoft Airbus is loaded.
Hello
Thanks to your help I managed to assign an entry to Aerosoft Airbus by assigning offset 0x66C0 to the Throttle autopilot assignment, but I can not turn on the respective led when the function is switched off according to offset 0x66C1. I write the lua command to verify the string:
function Autopilot_ATHR(offset,value)
if (value == 1) then ipc.writeLvar("L:AB_AP_ATHR",1)
else ipc.writeLvar("L:AB_AP_ATHR",0)
end
end
event.offset("66C0","UB","Autopilot_ATHR")
ipc.writeSB(0x66C1, 0)
offsetValue = ipc.readSB(0x66C1);
if offsetValue ~= ATT_cur then
ipc.writeLvar("L:AB_AP_ATHR", offsetValue)
end
again my experience is still poor here.... So my review of your Code is MABY not 100% Correct. I still learning this myself !
I try to understand......
function Autopilot_ATHR(offset,value)
if (value == 1) then ipc.writeLvar("L:AB_AP_ATHR",1)
else ipc.writeLvar("L:AB_AP_ATHR",0)
end
end
event.offset("66C0","UB","Autopilot_ATHR")
This should be the INPUT Section.... I think it looks good. You create the function on base of Offset 66C0 .... If Value is 1 then you write 1 to the LVAR else Zero.
Here i´m not shure.... Is it correct that Function and Event.Offset just CALL this function if value of Offset is changing ?? I Just ask to get shure this code part not running all the time and write the LVAR 100x per second.... We only need a Write if Offset Value is real changed.
************************
Now the Part i NOT understand ( I Think you say this should be the Output !!) ......
ipc.writeSB(0x66C1, 0) // Here you define the Offset 66C1 to 0
offsetValue = ipc.readSB(0x66C1); // Here you read the Offset and save it to the Variable
if offsetValue ~= ATT_cur then // Here i not understand WHERE do you define or readout "ATT_cur" ( Logical it is the Value of the LVAR But how you define it ?)
ipc.writeLvar("L:AB_AP_ATHR", offsetValue) // Here you Write the current value of Offset 66C1 to the LVAR WHY ???
end
If this should be the OUTPUT Line i don´t understand your logic..... Why do you WRITE the Value of the Output Offset to the LVAR ??
I think better way is.....
ATT_cur should be the read out status of the LVAR..... If the 2 Variables are not simular (if offsetValue ~= ATT_cur then)
THEN Write the OFFSET with the Data form the LVAR..... Not Reversed like in your code. So the Offset (Output) get the same value like the current Value in Sim !
Finaly i think about a "sleep" command. (Not shure how to set this with LUA and if its posible to do this Sleep individual for some Sub functions)
BUT. I Think if you permanent check the Offset and LVar you create lots of data traffic. Maby a Read 5 Time per second ( Sleep 200ms) is enough !

Hi mauir,
could you make it work... I am trying to build a fcu for aerosoft in fsx... but don´t kjnow how to.
