F4 profile

[LawrieRussell]

I would appreciate some help with applying some of Ziggy's F4 profile!
I am trying to instal his Dogfight and MRM mode scripts but it won't work !
The scripts I am using are:
//Dgfight Override
timer (period, d1, 10) = JS2.B27;
cms.b7 = d1 and not JS2.B27;
cms.b8 = not d1 and JS2.B27;

//MRM Override
timer (period, d2, 10) = JS2.B31;
cms.b9 = d2 and not JS2.B31;
cms.b10 = not d2 and JS2.B31;

Do I then assign to CMS.b7 Dogfight overide code and to cms.b8 the dogfight overide cancel and similarly for MRM on cms.b9 and b10.
Any help would be appreciated
Regards
Lawrie

Hi Lawrie,

Good to see you again! I can't be much help directly with Ziggy's script, but cms.b7 will be ON for a short click on js2.b27, while cms.b8 will be ON if js2.b27 is held. Likewise cms.b9 will be the short click on js2.b31 and cms.b10 will give the long click. I would guess you'd need to program cms.b7 through cms.b10 to do what they need to do.

Hope this helps!

Hi Bob,
Thanks for your reply. You confirm what I thought should happen, however I could not get it to work in the map I made for Falcon so I produced a test map with only a Pro Throttle and strangely the script works for all the buttons up to No 16 but for the buttons on the POV Hat Nos 25 to 32 it would not work. Thanks again for your help, I will keep experimenting and see what comes up !! Regards, Lawrie

You're quite welcome!

It is odd that it would work on one and not the other. Did you check to see that the POV switch on the stick was still working in the Test/Calibrate screen? The other things I can think of is that the method can produce a very short "short" pulse. It's on from when you release the button until the timer runs out. The timers are set for half a second if you've got the character rate set to the default 50 on the Program Settings tab, so if you don't release it until the timer has nearly run out, the pulse can be very short. It shouldn't matter for characters, but if it's feeding a DX button then it could be missed. Also, Falcon, at least in one incarnation, had some problem with SHF, ALT, and CTL keys, it didn't like the key and the modifier going down in the same frame. That wouldn't explain the difference though. It wouldn't like it any better coming from the ProThrottle. You might put visible characters on the CMS Controls buttons and watch it in NotePad. See if it comes out at all.

Anyway, good luck with it, I hope you can get it working!

Best regards,

Hi Bob,
Thanks for your latest note. I finally got it to work by producing a new map!! Exactly the same as the previous map so there must have been some conflict with the old one-very strange! Thanks again for your help,

Hi Lawrie,

It is strange, maybe got some odd character into it or something. It's Windows, who knows. :)

Anyway, I'm glad to hear it's up and running for you!

Take care,
