Problem with Mags

markdem · 17 Oct 2009

Hi All,

I have been developing a panel for a C152, and am having a small problem. All the switches, trim and throttle work fine. The only thing I can't get working is the mag switch. The following is my code.

Code:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using Microsoft.FlightSimulator.SimConnect;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
using System.IO.Ports;
using VolumeControl.Library.Constants;
using VolumeControl.Library.Structs;
using VolumeControl.Library.Win32;

namespace WindowsFormsApplication1
{
    public partial class Form1 : Form
    {
        enum GROUP_PRIORITIES : uint
        {
            SIMCONNECT_GROUP_PRIORITY_HIGHEST = 1,
            SIMCONNECT_GROUP_PRIORITY_HIGHEST_MASKABLE = 10000000,
            SIMCONNECT_GROUP_PRIORITY_STANDARD = 1900000000,
            SIMCONNECT_GROUP_PRIORITY_DEFAULT = 2000000000,
            SIMCONNECT_GROUP_PRIORITY_LOWEST = 4000000000
        }

        enum Event
        {   
            MAGNETO1_OFF,
            MAGNETO1_RIGHT,
            MAGNETO1_LEFT,
            MAGNETO1_BOTH,
            MAGNETO1_START
        }                                                                          

        SimConnect simconnect;

        const int WM_USER_SIMCONNECT = 0x0402;

        public Form1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
            init();
        }

        private void init()
        {
            /////////////////Connect to SimConnect server
            try
            {
                simconnect = new SimConnect("SimConnect Tutorial", this.Handle, WM_USER_SIMCONNECT, null, 0);

                simconnect.OnRecvOpen += new SimConnect.RecvOpenEventHandler(simconnect_OnRecvOpen);
                simconnect.OnRecvQuit += new SimConnect.RecvQuitEventHandler(simconnect_OnRecvQuit);

                simconnect.MapClientEventToSimEvent(Event.MAGNETO1_OFF, "MAGNETO1_OFF");
                simconnect.MapClientEventToSimEvent(Event.MAGNETO1_RIGHT, "MAGNETO1_RIGHT");
                simconnect.MapClientEventToSimEvent(Event.MAGNETO1_LEFT, "MAGNETO1_LEFT");
                simconnect.MapClientEventToSimEvent(Event.MAGNETO1_BOTH, "MAGNETO1_BOTH");
                simconnect.MapClientEventToSimEvent(Event.MAGNETO1_START, "MAGNETO1_START");
  

                textBox2.Text = "Connected";
            }

            catch (COMException)
            {
                textBox2.Text = "Unable to Connect";
            }
            /////////////////////////////////////////////
        }


        void simconnect_OnRecvOpen(SimConnect sender, SIMCONNECT_RECV_OPEN data)
        {
            textBox2.Text = "Connected to SimConnect";
        }


        void simconnect_OnRecvQuit(SimConnect sender, SIMCONNECT_RECV data)
        {
            simconnect.Dispose();
            Application.Exit(); 
        }


        protected override void DefWndProc(ref Message m)
        {
            if (m.Msg == WM_USER_SIMCONNECT)
            {
                if (simconnect != null)
                {
                    simconnect.ReceiveMessage();
                }
            }
            else
            {
                base.DefWndProc(ref m);
            }
        }


        private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            simconnect.TransmitClientEvent(0, Event.MAGNETO1_OFF, 0, GROUP_PRIORITIES.SIMCONNECT_GROUP_PRIORITY_HIGHEST, SIMCONNECT_EVENT_FLAG.GROUPID_IS_PRIORITY);
        }

        private void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            simconnect.TransmitClientEvent(0, Event.MAGNETO1_RIGHT, 0, GROUP_PRIORITIES.SIMCONNECT_GROUP_PRIORITY_HIGHEST, SIMCONNECT_EVENT_FLAG.GROUPID_IS_PRIORITY);
        }

        private void button3_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            simconnect.TransmitClientEvent(0, Event.MAGNETO1_LEFT, 0, GROUP_PRIORITIES.SIMCONNECT_GROUP_PRIORITY_HIGHEST, SIMCONNECT_EVENT_FLAG.GROUPID_IS_PRIORITY);
        }

        private void button4_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            simconnect.TransmitClientEvent(0, Event.MAGNETO1_BOTH, 0, GROUP_PRIORITIES.SIMCONNECT_GROUP_PRIORITY_HIGHEST, SIMCONNECT_EVENT_FLAG.GROUPID_IS_PRIORITY);
        }

        private void button5_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            simconnect.TransmitClientEvent(0, Event.MAGNETO1_START, 0, GROUP_PRIORITIES.SIMCONNECT_GROUP_PRIORITY_HIGHEST, SIMCONNECT_EVENT_FLAG.GROUPID_IS_PRIORITY);
        }

       }
}

The problem I am having is that when I click the 3rd button(MAGNETO1_LEFT), the mag in the simulator will go to both. If I click it again, it will select right in the sim. All the other positions work fine. I just don't understand what is going on here.
Can anyone see what I am doing wrong?

Thanks

Problem solved.

It looks like it is a bug in the simulator. I used magnto1_set, and it all works OK now.
