If you look at the dataref of the yawdamper when the button lits it tells me that the yawdamper is on if the Button lits (dataref editor) Cheers Tom

Yes sometimes the CRJ200 reacts very strange on USB commands from hardware. It happens quite frequently that xplane quits after firering an usb command. Cheers Tobs

I think your other planes are working with the saitek panels cause they use default datarefs. For using the Satiek panels you must use Sandy Barbours Saitek plugin - right? As long as Sandy does not program the plugin to work with the CRJ200 like he did for the x737 (for Goflight products) you cannot use the Saitek Panels in their complete functions. I do not know how Sandys plugin is working - if he is overriding the default datarefs then there is nothing what you can do (I guess). If he is using the default datarefs you can try to work with xjoymap there is a function to shift default commands to custom commands. But you have to experiment with it. Cheers Tobs

;)Which is the dataref for opening the door - I do not find them - maybe I am blind? Cheers Tom

Anyway the list is done so far. I am waiting for Joan to update his python button map script on the .org. You will need Sandy Barbours Python Interface 2.6.6 http://www.xpluginsdk.org/python_interface_sdk100_downloads.htm and Python 2.6.6 http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.6.6/ Make it ready to run on your machine - with the upcoming script and my configfile you will be able to adress really a lot of buttons and once you understand how Joan´s script works you are able to edit the configfile to match your needs. The dataref list for the CRJ200 was released by Phillip. Cheers Tom

Hi Pillip this might be a part off topic - but you are right before changing to a video card with big video ram I had crashes when running the crj with complex foto scenery. Now it works but what I se is that the video card sometimes is not really able to work like it could work. Example: we have a very complex LEBL conversion complex like the FSX LEBL. I have with photo textures, highest resolution, no compress, shades on etc round 50-60fps - in the moment I turn to the airport and it starts rendering the objects the framerate drops to 20 or less - but what is curious the video card only works then with 25% or less. Before turning to the airport it was round 60% - I do not know why and I do not understand how open gl works but it seems that some objects and or textures starts blocking the open gl so that the video card performance decrease. Javier Cortez had once a similar issue in his UFMC he had problems with fonts he used. If you started using the UFMC the framerate drops to 19 - funny thing was if I opened another graphic app "overlay editor" the framerate increases again....Javier Cortez told me that he had an issue with open gl. ok this is off topic, I write it to learn more about it and to tell that it is very often the scenry which is blocking the framerate - it does not matter if you have the fastest viedeo card or not. Regards Tom

Your plugin witch-hunt is boring. Ben. You to. Tom

Yes Yes I saw it this was after searchung most of my wants - but it is still very helpfull for all full or semo or half semi (like me) cokpit builders. If the xpuipc issue will be fixed for real cokpit builders the world should be open then. I hope the issue with the serialFP2 VRINSIGHT plugin will be solved with this - cause it looks very similar as a sudden death of xplane when firing off an usb command through that hardware and plugin. As I am in contact with the VRINSIGHT team cause I found a big bug in their current version - the might help if the issue is not solved with the CRJ200 update. Funny is that it does not occur frequently only sometimes....and not easy to reproduce. Regards Tom

Which plugins do you use? Regards Tom

Yes i have them cause they are in the plane. But searching and guessing names of datarefs tools time. And joans Python scipt is a bit tricky. But it will work fine. Tom

It is already done by me. Will upload the script very soon. With this you are able to control the complete fmc and much more via keystrokes and or buttons. Regards Tom

Javier, thank you... I am dealing with a nice quite big list of custom buttons for the CRJ. I use the python interface and xjoymap from Joan from barcelona. Now it is possible to have a config file in the plane folder - this will adress all the custom buttons. those buttons are found as usual in the keystroke or joystickbutton menue of XP - grouped by names like electric, fms, fmc, autopilot etc to find it quick out of the big list. For example the complete FMC is now to use with a keyboard - no need for the mouse - but there is much more. Joan has also implemented a feature to override the default datarefs of xp with custom datarefs of the plane. this will give a quick access. there is one problem still with the cleaning up after shutting down xp or reloading the pyhton script - but I think joan will solve this. unfortunatey he do not have the crj to test what he is writing - I can test my list but I have also to test his new script on my machine - but I have win and he is on mac - this makes the rest a bit difficult. regards Tom

One last thing before you come with your list: I do not find the popup command for the PFD neither in the cockpit file nor in the acf file please tell me that dataref - and for the next I will wait - mostly I got whant I want regards tom

sorry to you both - but I got all my datarefs now out of the cockpit file - but this one I cannot find there - but it is the dataref you told me - I should have tried it the after javiers answer. me culpa.... now the command works fine. thnks tom

No Javier - for popup I looked already - there is no command like this neither in the cockpit file or in the manipuladores file. regards Tom

Phillip, Javier, please tell me one more datref what I do not find ??? I am looking for the click or button dataref which opens the big FMC popup. Thnks Tom

I bet Javier would say please read the manual - I think you forgot to set the IRS switches on the pedastal to NAV. Cheers Tom

IRS was on NAV that was why I asked but I got it to work after a 3rd startup - and now no problems anymore. I do not know - I changed the video card today - perhpas..... "computers are made to solve problems we never had without them" Regards Tom

no cold and dark regards tom

What do I do if it is not possible to copy the position to RK5? Loaded the plane several times? Regards Tom

Today I uploaded a config file with a lot of custom buttons including the complete FMC which you can adress to keystrokes or joystickbuttons. Please go the .org site http://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?app=downloads&showfile=13581 to download the config file and follow the instructions on Joan`s xjyomap site. Cheers Tom

Javier, do we have kwon conflicts with python and python interface on win7? Regards Tom

Javier, do you recommend to user the video card for anti alias and anisotrop filter? Or is it better to use the XP filter? Regards Tom Win7 64B i7 2.9Gb (8core) (GB Ram, nvidia 580GX

Phillip, this works for buttons and keystrokes. with the dataref and the values it is possible to adress the functions to buttons or keystrokes. I will try another one xjoymap http://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?app=downloads&showfile=11720 which is based on the python and the SDK python interface - in the moment I do not get the interface to work with the CRJ200. Is there a reason why it cannot work? Regards Tom
