I can deactivate the standard offset and enable my activation for example 0810 Autothrottle arm for the FF767 -
# MCP atarm Toggle
Dataref ATARM 1-sim/AP/atSwitcher int
Offset 0x5310 UINT32 4 rw $ ATARM
Mobiflight seem to ignore that, at least the switch does not work

hi

for a toggle or switch input you need to use the "Command" syntax not Dataref word
#MCP atarm Toggle
Command 0x5310 UINT8 1 0 1-sim/AP/atSwitcher _
0 1 1-sim/AP/arSwitcher

look at the tuto

Hello, too, I have already tried, but no success. That's why I'm desperate

Just a Idea.....

I not know the correct syntax.... But i get some experience in FSUIPC Offsets for FSX and P3D.

1. A AutoThrottle Switsch is a simple Bool System Prety sure.... So ON or OFF 1 or 0
It make no sense to use a Offset with 4 Byte ( UINT32) This is no issue reason but fully unless.

2. Offset 5310 is in a official "reserved" area in FSUIPC.... Not know how XPUIPC handle this.... But in theory the creators can build THERE for example some AddOn Stuff.
Why not simply use the official assigned Free Areas.... 66C0 e.g.


So before you start thinking about the code.... Confirm at first if the offset and the Mobiflight system work for it.
Create your Inpuzt in MF.... USe e.g. your 5310 Offset
Create in MF a OUTPUT Config also that read the same Offset with same Size and typ you use for the Input ( Or alternate use a logging tool within XPUIPC)

Target: Find out if moving the switch write the Offset to 1 or 0 whatever you need.
If this NOT work then we not need to think about your code in XPUIPC !

EDIT: And at last confirm the used Dataref is the correct one for the used AddOn Aircraft !

I have tried many offset in MobiFlight the switch in the simulator unfortunately does not work
# XPUIPCOffsets.cfg - XPUIPC offset configuration file
#MCP A/T ARM toggle
Dataref ATARM 1-sim/AP/atSwitcher int
offset 0x66C0 unit8 1 rw $ ATARM> ATARM @

I tried it now with the Zibo

# 737zibo
# MCP A/T ARM toggle
Command 0x6520 UINT8 1 0 laminar/B738/autopilot/autothrottle_arm_toggle _
0 1 laminar/B738/autopilot/autothrottle_arm_toggle

# MCP ALT ENCODER
Command 0x6541 UINT8 1 1 laminar/B738/autopilot/altitude_up _
1 0 laminar/B738/autopilot/altitude_up
Command 0x6542 UINT8 1 1 laminar/B738/autopilot/altitude_dn _
1 0 laminar/B738/autopilot/altitude_dn
Nothing goes
If I exclude the simulator and look at the "xpuipc.txt" I find the following

Hi again, Uwe.

Badly here in Forum the number of XPlane guys is low.
The real proffesional users not read this Forum, cause they simply build there Code in XPUIPC themself.... it work for them... so they need no further support and also not observe these topics here.

It seems to me you just copy-paste code parts from other guides and you not fully understand the syntax or WHAT these code basicly do and how Xplane internal work !
I now, not mean you should learn all the stuff from scratch and get a professional IT specialist..... But i mean you need to talk to these Pro´s directly !

So i recommend.... Join DISCORD.... On our Server there is a Xplane Sub Area. And there are a couple of Users who have really high experience with XPUIPC.
Pretty sure one of them like to guide you.... Make Voice/Share Screen to show you the basics.... OR simply they write you the needed files and give it to you.

you need to reload your dataref and command always your start a new flight!

Hi Banzai,
I've just started setting up dataref for zibo with mobiflight.
Same problem that at the start of xplane you have to reload dataref every time.

But is there a possibility that it will be seen automatically every time?
because this is not good and I thought it was my problem of xuipc.

thanks
Simone

Hi

no i don't know how to do that i only know that the dataref customs can only be loaded once the zibo plane is loaded.
it is true that if it were possible it would be good,
for me I am not the solution
