Problems with Tinmouse and ISG gauges

Featured Replies

Hello, I'm having some problems with the Tinmouse 737 using ISG gauges. My panel.cfg has Lee's TCAS, the SP177 autopilot and ISG's Honeywell XLSGNS, EHSI and the EFIS control panel (don't know whether these are the right names hehe, hope you guys get it). The problem is with the HDG selector in the autopilot, everytime I try to set to some heading, say 240, it keeps resetting to some other heading, say 300. I'm under the impresion that the cause of the problem could be a conflict between the SP177 HDG selector and the EFIS control panel one, but I don't know how to solve it. I can't trash the control panel because I need it to set the range and other stuff in the EHSI. I'll post my panel.cfg below:

Whooo can help me, please? I need to fly this great aircraft!Best regards, DanielPs. first post in the new forum, been reading for a while though. Sorry for the rough english... not my native language, as you've seen.

I can't even find the ISG unit. The link in the manual goes to www.fsbuild.com but I see no mention of the unit there?Anywho...was wondering about these entries you have://file=Main_igs.bmp //Main panel bitmap with square HSI face for ISG glass HSI //file_1024=Main_igs.bmp file=Main_tcas_fms.bmp //main panel bitmap with square face for ILH TCAS gauge file_1024=Main_tcas_fms.bmp //gauge05=B732ADV!vsi, 399, 774, 131, 131 //round dial VVI gauge05=ILH_TCAS!IVSIb, 393,769,142,142, pic:no //VVI/TCAS, requires all "ILH" gauges //NOT compatible with ISG TCAS I'm thinking that Lee's TCAS and the ISG are incompatible? But I don't know that. Hopefully someone who has the ISG working will come along with better info...and where to actually find it? :(

Victor Buck

Check out in the ISG docs ISG Settings.pdf at least two settings involving where it thinks LNAV is engaged it will override the MCP heading control. Make a backup of the file involved and set these from 1 to 0. See if that helps.

Victor,Maybe you don't need the Hetherington TCAS? The ISG gauges have their own TCAS system that displays on the ND.;)

The ISG EFIS CTRL panel HDG selector on demand only.IOW it only sets a new AP HDG when you turn the knob.So no conflict there.I suspect your problem is, even though you think you've disabled the Tinmouse AP you have not, and everytime youdial in a HDG with your SP177 AP the Tinmouse resets the value.RegardsErnie.

Solve it, guys. A reinstall did it. Thanks for your answers though. Now I can fly the "Sucatinha" (Brazilian Air Force's 737-200).
