Dear colleagues,

I have a question of how to set EFIS especially for radar range switch 5, 10, 20...640. Because I can not find any reference how to solve it. Eventhough I check offset mapping and Event ID of pmdg, but still can not find any solution...please advise..

Thanks lot

Hi.

You say you search for the Offsets of PMDG.... so i think you need it for a PMDG right ??

Right Section is the EVENT ID List of PMDG (737 i belive) ....
EVT_EFIS_CPT_???????? for Left EFIS and EVT_EFIS_FO_????????? for Right side.

For the Left Range selector it´s EVT_EFIS_CPT_RANGE ID: 69993 Parameter 0=5 ........ 7=640

What do you use for this switch.... A Endless Ecoder...... or a Rotary switch like in Real Planes ??

For a encoder use On Left and on right just the Mousewheel Parameters......
For a Rotary Switch set a Input for every detent and use the Parameters from Above.... For the Left "5" detent use Parameter 0 and so on.

Hope this helps !

Hi mate,

Thanks lot for your prompt reply. I use rotary switch. Should I choose event id? Then there is two options should be filled, first on press second on release?

Hi. There are different ways... I use the follow and it workes.... ( need 2 Pins more but it´s easyer to setup)
Again i hope i´m right you like to use the PMDG 737 NGX

For youre Rotary switch you got a Output Pin for every detent you use ... Maby you use one like this... https://www.reichelt.de/Drehschalter/DS-1/3/index.html?ACTION=3&GROUPID=7594&ARTICLE=7186

Just get one wire from every pin to a free digital Pin on youre Arduino each.
Config this Inputs like a button.. ( 8 Entrys ) Every Input is like a ingle button.

Configuration....

For Example the "5" Position ..
Create a Input Config and set it to the Device you use for the Pin of the "5" dentent of the switch.
Use only ON Press and set EVENT ID. 69993 Parameter here is 0 // 0 is the value for "5" Position.

For all other Positions create everytime a new Config. Use the specific Pin Device for the position you need.
Use always the same Event ID 69993 .... Parameter change form 0-7 for the needed Position.

just reply if you got problems... then i can send you a mcc file per Email if needed.

Hi mate,

Thanks lot for your valuable info..I will try it this weekend. Nochmals, vielen Dank..

hi sir,
i have question ,the param no need fill mouse flag (
mouse rightt click or mouse left click)

Hi Fazil,

welcome to MobiFlight.

Download the EventID-List here https://myhomecockpit.de/PMDG_737NGX_EVENT_IDs_SP1d.pdf

At the end of the List you will find the Parameter for the Mouse-Movements

i mean param just fill no 7 for 640efis range rada.
not fill mouse flag.

can u send me mcc file at my email firasli@yahoo.com
for range radar efis

Hi.

all is explaned in the postings above.... You must build your mcc youreself

As i said 1 year ago... you not need mouse comands here... This switches have a Parameter range.... every Position is a parameter....

EFIS_RangeSel Parameter 0=5 ... ...7= 640
