XPUIPC plugin not compatible?

[tonicfan]

Hello,

I just got the Saab and I removed all plugins except for the Gizmo and it works great.

 

However,  when I enable XPUIPC the autopilot does not work properly.   None of the commands light up at all on the FMS panel  and in the artificial horizon it just says AP in green when I click HDG or VS or something, nothing happens there.

 

Is this plane not compatible with that plugin?

 

I need that plugin to fly online with my VA as well as AirSource.  Without it (or another one) I cannot use this plane online with the VA which makes this purchase kinda pointless.

 

If anyone has any suggestions or another plugin that simulates FSUPIC in Xplane that will work with this plane I would appreciate it.

Highly customised and complex systems as found in the Saab and some other products are unlikely to work with a "one size fits all" plugin like XPUIPC which expects everything to work via the standard X-Plane data points.

 

There may be a way to customise XPUIPC and tell it which "datarefs" to look for when you're using the Saab.

As I am unfamiliar with the use and config of XPUIPC I cannot provide instruction on how this may be achieved or any certainty about whether it can be done at all.

I emailed the XPUIPC people to see.

 

Is there a 32-bit Gizmo plugin?  I got the VA plugin to work with 32-bit X plane, but Gizmo is for 64bit only?

[Ben Russell]

Gizmo is not available in 32bit for modern products. Sorry.

Here is a link to the offsets.cfg file for XPUIPC.  If you can take a look?  You would understand this stuff more than I.

Thanks for digging that up. Will discuss with the other team members and get back to you..

I emailed the XPUIPC guy and he said that datarefs are the issue but he offered no suggestions on how to resolve this so I guess its up to you guys.  If you could see if its possible, I really dont want to spend $55 on a plane that I cannot fly for my VA... so any help u can provide it would be appreciated so my money doesnt go to waste.

 

Thanks for looking into it.

Well i dont know what I did, but it seems to be working now!!!!!   This is great!  Hopefully it will continue to work on the next flight too.
