DspShow is for both versions of combos.

It is a function which uses just 4 digits in the first and second row ... what could Combo I show.

 

There is a possiblity to make more info for Combo II, but I use normaly just DspShow, otherwise I have to make the code double for both versions. Just for special infos I make a difference

VS pull / push:

 

I found out this one:

 

function Autopilot_VS_level ()
   ipc.writeLvar("AB_AP_ALTmode", 0)
   ipc.sleep(10)
   ipc.writeLvar("AB_AP_VS_Select2", 0)
   ipc.sleep(10)
   ipc.writeLvar("AB_AP_VS_Select3", 0)
   DspShow ("VS", "lvl")
   Button3 ()
end
function Autopilot_VS_pull ()
   ipc.writeLvar("AB_AP_VSlevel", -1)
   ipc.writeLvar("AB_AP_VSenb", 1)
   ipc.writeLvar("AB_AP_KNOBALT", 1)
   DspShow ("VS", "mgnt")
   -- AB_AP_DES = 2
   Button3 ()
end

 

Can someone please validate?

I don't know what "AB_AP_KNOBALT" has to do. But without I does'nt work.

 

Please check although

Autopilot_VS_level ()

because i've changed

AB_AP_ALTmode

value from -1 to 0.

peter

I've not had chance to fly with it Peter, but it does look like you could be onto a winner here, the only thing that is missing is the display of the VS selected on the MCP2 Boeing display, hopefully Guenter can do that if you have no reason to use that facility yourself. Sorry I don't have time today to test it in the air, but thank you so far.

Many thanks to Capt "Peter" PERO!!!!

Great! It works!

 

Already uploaded the updated module!

Many thanks to Capt "Peter" PERO!!!!

 

Thanks a lot! That's the spirit of LINDA!

Thank you very much for your job, you've found the most LVars. ;O)

Bugfixing:

 

 

I've found several problems that do not occur without LINDA. Therefore find enclosed the following changed functions.

 

Please test it before publishing.

 

- SPD_minusfast ()

did not work (-1 then -10)

 

- Autopilot_HDG_set()

added AB_AP_HDGmode_set = -1

 

- Autopilot_HDG_managed()

added AB_AP_HDGmode_set = 1

 

- ALT_minus / minusfast

permit ALT < 100

 

VS pull / push

- did not work proper in every situation

Good news for MCP1 Users:

I am working on advanced display functions (AP, Gear, Flaps, etc.) like you've may seen in my Wilco profile. ;O)

Thanks for all your work here.

 

One thing that I came across: when I have the panel lights on at night, and then switch on the navigation or beacon lights, the panel lights switch off, and I have to switch them back on again. Any thoughts?

I'd mention that in the Aerosoft forum, there were problems with other lights doing strange things like that before 1.03, it sounds like there are a few other bugs in that area still to squash.

Hi,

 

I've tested it with the v2.1 auf the LINDA profile and it works fine without the issue.

Can you please explain in detail, which functions do you use in which case that the problem happens.

 

I used:

 

Lights_Panel_on

Lights_Beacon_on

Lights_NAV_LOGO_on

 

and the problem does not occur.

 

Thanks,

peter

I'll respond tomorrow, when I'm back at my PC. However, I can confirm that it only happens when using the LINDA profile, and not when clicking the actual overhead switches with my mouse.

@ Capt PERO,

 

thanks for your work!

I'm away for a week now. Could you please save your findings/fixes/changes/improvements, I will add them then in february. Simplest way would be then you send me the complete action.lua

I'll respond tomorrow, when I'm back at my PC. However, I can confirm that it only happens when using the LINDA profile, and not when clicking the actual overhead switches with my mouse.

 

It happens with Lights WING toggle, Lights NAV on, Lights BEACON on, but not, interestingly, Lights STROBE on.

 

Could it be related to the ipc.setbitsUW processing which is common to the first three, but not the last?

Hi all

 

I'm new to Linda, installed it today and all worked fine.

Except the problem with the BEACON Lights mentioned before.

 

btw the code for alle toggle bits can be simplified by replacing the conditional structure with the togglebitsUW command:

 

function Lights_BEACON_toggle ()

 

ipc.togglebitsUW(0x0D0C, 2)

LightSwitch ()

end

 

This does not help with the problem mentioned above... Anyway, thx for the good work!
