Hello to all friends of this program, I would first like to congratulate the dessarrolladores the program because it seems a fantastic aaplicacion and almost perfect to build a cabin with little knowledge of programming.
Now for my question:
- I want to run my cabin with PMDG737NGX and need to know how I can capture data offsets PMDG, have the documentation and I know they're only reading, but working with data Boolean (True, False) and wanted to know if there are ways MF implementing it and get manageable data.

I hope you can help me, greetings and thanks.

PS: I'm Spanish and I translated with google, sorry for the spelling mistakes and poor translation. ;)

Hola amigo.

There exists three lists for data transfer with PMDG´s.

First is for Inputs. It works with Event Id´s. For example this Link.... http://myhomecockpit.de/PMDG_737NGX_EVENT_IDs_SP1d.pdf

The second Part is for Outputs..... The Offsets from the PMDG are not all Boolean.... There are data for the Displays and Gauges too.
You find it in youre FSUIPC folder or in this link.... http://fsuipc.simflight.com/beta/Offset_Mapping_PMDG737NGX.pdf

The third Part is not from PMDG.... It´s the FSUIPC offset List itself. Some things can be used here too. For Example the "Trimm Set" is not be read from PMDG it´s a Standard offset like every other plane uses too.
Look for this List in your FSUIPC Folder or load the SDK from Pete Dawsons website.

Hope this helps ! Greets !
Good Luck !

Thanks for your quick response.
I think I have some misconfiguration or something wrong in my computer, I downloaded the docuentaciones you sent me and I still get it to work, I'll explain a particular case to see if I can get an idea of how you should.
Imagine you want to receive FSX the value 1 when the announcer "Speedbrake Armed" to light a led posteriromente in my cockpit.
1- Home MF, add a new line, click on edit.
2- In offset value put "0x0BCC" (Value Size = int / size in bytes = 4) and moving the lever on the 737PMDGNGX the light turns on the simulator but not receive any data MF.

I have also tried to offset 0x6558 MAIN_annunSPEEDBRAKE_ARMED removed from PDF Offset_Mapping_PMDG737NGX nor receive any data.

I activated the line [SDK] EnableDataBroadcast = 1 in the file 737NGXOptions.ini

I keep trying to test but I hope you can help me, thank you very much.

If complete NO Data reach to Mobiflight recheck you edit the correct "737NGX_Options.ini" Look that the --> [ ] Square Brackets <-- are correct to.
Second be shure you Push "Start" in Mobiflight and got connectet to FSUIPC and Module
AND check that you Activate the Config Entry you will test on the Left Column !

****
For youre example....

The First Offset (0bcc)is Wrong. Its for standard Planes.. NOT for the PMDG !

For Speedbrake Armed Light in the PMDG 737NGX the right Offset is 6558 (You got it already)
Typ INT Bytes 1... It´s a Boolean Light On = 1 Light Off = 0
NO Mask NO Multiplizer

Please check if there is a Value Changing in the Mobiflight Output Config Area while running the programm. In the Columns "FSUIPC Value" and "Output Value" there should be two times "0" or two times "1" if its on or off.

If you set a LED as Output in the "Options - Mobiflight Module" Section you can use it now in this configuration and it should be working fine (on my system it wokes !)

If it NOT work... just Give me Feedback.

beonas noches
Good Luck !

Hello again.
I've done the tests that you have told me and still no response from the simulator to MF Connector. I spent a couple of pictures for you to see how I configured and some more information.

In Mask I 0x00 set because the program does not let me leave it blank and I put 0 multiplier because it allows me to leave it blank (have also proven to multiply by 1 and get nothing).

I have reviewed the line in this PMDG737NGX_Options.ini and as in PMDG instructions.

I have also registered FSUIPC version 4.947.

I think my problem must be something else.
Thanks greetings.

Sorry. My instructons was missunderstanding.....

With NO mask and NO Multiplizer i meant "Do not Change them". So use the Mask the System recommend you and use Multiplizer 1 too.
Please Apology


Another thing... Do you make a "LightTest" ??
Get in the Config Entry and use the TEST Button . Does the LED lights up ?? Maby there is a problem in youre Electrical ??
Check if youre LED is working and if you use the right Config Pins for that output too.


Its difficult to see the Problem without more Informations. Do you test another Offset ?? Maby a Preset from Mobiflight. Do you test with a Standard Plane like the Cessna ??

good luck !
Good Luck !

Hola Gallazu ahora he visto que eres español!!!
como he dicho antes tienes correctamente instalado el FSUIPC yo estoy haciendo un overhead y va de fabula.....
Tiene que funcionar sin problemas eso si el PMDG tiene sus propios Eventos (Entradas) y Offsets (Salidas,Anunciadores voltajes trim, aceleradores, etc,etc)
puedes utilizar alfun Offset del propio FSUIPC pero mejor si son los propios del PMDG.
Saludos.
