Drop it in the Modules folder and start it by assigning to a key the command 'Lua FCU'. A display will come up showing the heading.  On my PC, the FPS dropped a little, but that's just because of the display.

The MCDU displays are at http://localhost:8080/MCDU/Display/3CA1 and http://localhost:8080/MCDU/Display/3CA2.

Hi Peter 

Which “modules” folder do you mean?

FSUIPC has changed its default install location since I made that post. Now, it's Prepar3d vx Add-Ons\FSUIPC6. 

I saw in your thread that you're making a hardware FCU. You'll be disappointed in this method because FSLabs never completed the remote FCU and you'll be missing a few variables.

I am copying your folder "FCU_test" to addond/FSUIPC folder, than?

There is two folders named modules in FSUIPC/SDK:

       ModuleUser64

       Module_User_lib_for_VC_2010

I am not good at programming and I will appreciate your help  .

If you suggest another method I would love to hear it.

Yes, I almost completed FCU without hdg/spd/alt/vs displays but atleast they are working and I dont use mouse/keyboard to use them. I couldnt program efis fd/ls buttons too because I need them to act as an encoder but actualy rotary switches fit better than an encoder. So for now I just leave them as they are. Here is my FCU:

       My 1st diy FCU on test - YouTube

I realized that someone somehow managed to solve the problem. I dont know how. But looks like v/s display is also working. please check below:

How is your FCU hardware going to receive the data? Are you using Mobiflight?

yes I use mobiflight

The lua I'm attaching here will extract all available values from the remote FCU. You'll need to write your own code to store the values in FSUIPC offsets and retrieve them from the offsets on the Mobiflight side. I'm sure you'll find reference in the Mobiflight documentation on how to do that.

Unzip the archive into your FSUIPC install folder. You can launch it manually by assigning a key or button to the control 'Lua FCU' and you have FSUIPC launch it automatically at startup by adding the following to your FSUIPC.ini:

[Auto.FSLabs]

1=Lua FCU

FCU.zip

Thank you very very much Peter. Even I have no idea about Lua :))  I will try it.

Look at the ipc.writeStruct function in the FSUIPC Lua library pdf document. All you need to write is one call to that function, for example:

ipc.writeStruct(
  0x66C0,
  "3STR", HDG,
  "4STR", ALT
)

I can't do it for you because it's up to you to decide which offsets to store the values at and which data types you want to use.

I am totaly unaware of that document (Lua library) and I feel very stupid. I jumped in building FCU without reading it now it makes sense :)) 

again, thank you very much

Hi Bedran

unfortunately I havent figured out the hdg/alt/spd/vs yet.

Hi guys, 

maybe someone has a hint for me. I have some buttons binded via Rotorbrake codes in FSUIPC. 

Concerning the OVHD Fuel TK Switches. In the A 321 the Center Tank Rotor Brake Codes don’t work. The left and right fuel tank switches are working normally.  If i push my buttons, the sim crashes. All work fine in the A319/320. I think the sim crashes, because the RB Codes don’t exist.

The A321 has a slightly different fuel system with other designations. Maybe there are own Rotorbrake codes? If i enable logging in FSUIPC i cannot find out the right Codes for the OVHD Korrys. The output says something like: „The button doesn’t exist in the sim“.

Thank you and hopefully someone has an idea.

Anastasios
