EFIS V2

[Jammur]

Hello,

So after enjoying the MCP finally after a few problems I went and purchased the EFIS module, it shows up on the config menu as EFIS V2, but when I load it up on the 777 there is no response (using the 1.3 777 script) do I need to do anything different to add the EFIS? And if possible I want it on the FO side.

Thanks

Hi,


I have sent you a PM with a link to an updated version of OCP4777X driver and script file.

You just unzip to your SIOC folder.

You configure your EFIS with OC4BAConfig. It should be autoconfigured as Captain's EFIS.

You can also manually configure it as the EFIS_FO with OC4BAConfig.

Delete the autoconfigured EFIS_CPT and link the detected EFIS_v2 to EFIS_FO.

But there is no EFIS_FO script code in the OCP4777X_v1.3b.ssi.

You can go to edit_config in SIOC.exe and export the ocp4777x to text.

Then you copy everything of the EFIS_CPT code and paste it to the bottom of the file

Then you change all of the device 7 to device 17 in this code you pasted in, and save

Then you recompile and you should have a new script file with code for both EFISs

Hi Roar

I tries it with the NGX loaded it up but the buttons such as WXR WPT DATA etc etc the change the reange rather than the mode, I have checked all inputs work through SIOC but not sure if I am linking my device properly... The MCP is working just fine, heres a photo...

Hi,

Why are you using the configuration program within SIOC.exe?

I can only tell you that your config is wrong!
Did't you read my last email?
Use OC4BAConfig and I will help you.

Hi

Yes I did also follow your instructions but that never helped either, so in OC4BAconfig I select the pmdg 737, select the script to use, then select the EFIS and then EFIS_CPT correct?

See this video

http://youtu.be/9XcuIioCDdk

on how to configure MCP and EFIS_FO to your B737 and B777 cockpits

remember that the 1.3b script for B777 do not have script code for EFIS_FO, so do the modification as explained in the other email sent
before doing the config for the B777

remember also to select the modified script file whatever name you give it

Tried again using SIOC config and as you can see this is what I have set... The EFIS responds but the keys / rotaries control differnat parts of the EFIS functions for example IF I press WPT it changes the range... Here is a screen.

PS should it not read EFISV2 - why does it say EXP/MASTER

Yes, it should. but it seems to me that your version of EFISv2 has another USB string ( USBexp V2 instead of the usual USBEFIS V2.0) that has been used by Opencockpits earlier. This is not the first time
they are inconsistent in naming they firmware.

The problem this creates for the OC4BAConfig program is that it doesn't recognize the attached module as an EFIS module, but take it for an EXP/MASTER card.

Until I have updated the OC4BAConfig you have to do this manually.

There are 2 files in SIOC that have the configuration of your B737 and B777 cockpit modules

737sioc.ini and 777sioc.ini

Both should have the initial text of:

[SIOC]
IOCP_port=8092
IOCP_timeout=4000
Minimized=Yes
toggle_delay=20
[IOCARDS MODULE]
IOCard_disable=No
IOCard_LPT=No
[FSUIPC MODULE]
FSUipcdisable=No
FSUipcRefresh=60
[IOCP CLIENTS MODULES]
IOCPini_delay= 3000
IOCPclient0_disable=no
IOCPclient0_host=localhost
IOCPclient0_port=8099
IOCPclient1_disable=yes
IOCPclient1_host=localhost
IOCPclient1_port=8092
[SOUND MODULE]
Sound_disable=Yes
Volume=100

followed by the text:

[*]
CONFIG_FILE=OCP4NGX_PP_v1.2.ssi
MASTER=15,5,1,174
MASTER=7,7,1,194

if you want MCP + EFIS_CPT

or

[*]
CONFIG_FILE=OCP4NGX_PP_v1.2.ssi
MASTER=15,5,1,174
MASTER=7,7,1,194

if you want MCP + EFIS_FO

in 737sioc.ini


[*]
CONFIG_FILE=OCP4777X_v1.3b.ssi
MASTER=15,5,1,174
MASTER=7,7,1,194

if you want MCP + EFIS_CPT

[*]
CONFIG_FILE=OCP4777X_v1.3b.ssi
MASTER=15,5,1,174
MASTER=17,17,1,194

if you want MCP + EFIS_FO

in 777sioc.ini

Hi I have tried adding the lines to the 737sioc.ini as showen and still the same problem

Hmm..

Strange.

Try to change the second 7 to 4 as it was detected as an EXT/MASTER

7,4,1,194


I find it very strange that you read USBexp v2 from the EFIS module. Can you send me an image of the SIOC.exe device window
