Auto switch PE Client XPNDR from Panel

Post by MervA »

These Lua files for FSUIPC can be used to auto switch the Pilotedge Client from Standby to Mode C from your transponder panel in your simulator, the ident button will work as well on those that have one.

I made them in P3D, but they should work in FSX also. I tried the Legacy in FSX and it worked fine.

Please note, auto switching will only occur when [Mode C – ALT] is selected.

I can only make Lua script files for the aircraft I have installed in P3D, which are listed below.


FSUIPC Lua Scripts for the :

[1] Realair Lancair Legacy

[2] Realair Turbine Duke

[2] A2A Cessna 172R

[3] CRUZ Pipersport

[4] Carenado Cessna 152



[Edit] I have noticed that the PMDG 737NGX does not require the Lua file for the XPNDR rotor to work, try it ! without. ( I am using the P3D NGX version)


Thomas Horn in the thread “ What are Offsets? ” has given a rundown on how to install the files, so I will not include anything here, other than to say that when you edit the FSUIPC.ini file to insert the [Auto] section, the aircraft name must be the exact name used in the sim.

For example my Lancair Legacy in the title section of my aircraft.cfg file in P3D is listed as “ RealAir Lancair Legacy N232Z ” without the quotes, so the auto section should look like this :-

[Auto.RealAir Lancair Legacy N232Z]
1=Lua Legacy

Otherwise it will not load and it will not work.

Thanks to Thomas for allowing me to use his Lua script, helped me not having to type it in. (lazy)

Hi,

Sorry for the late reply

I don't know if you have the A2A C172 installed, but if you able to check if the C182 has the same Bendix/King Transponder Radio, there is
a very good chance that A2A are using the same transponder in the 182 as they have in the 172, therefore it would be using the same
Local Panel Variables.

Worth a try.

So, make another [Auto] section in fsuipc.ini using the same Lua file as used for the A2A C172, but rename the parts for your C182, depending
on what you aircraft description is in you flight sim, it may look something like this.

[Auto.A2A-C182R]
1=Lua A2A_C172


Let me know how you get on

Cya !!

Hey,

Unfortunately I am unable to retrieve your files - any chance reuploading this somewhere else?

Seems like a solution to a common problem, especially in Prepar3d (I have moved from fsx recently)

Otherwise the only solution to ident is to alt-tab, which sucks..
