Aerospatiale ATR-500 Heading/ Course Adjust?

Featured Replies

I have an Aerospatiale ATR-500 and when I try adjusting the heading or course it increments in 10° increments rather than in 1° increments. Is there a way to fix it so it  it will increment in 1° steps?  Thanks, Bob.

Use Doug Dawson's "Event Logger" (or FSUIPC's Logger function) to discover which Events are being constantly fired. Such misbehavior will block incrementing by 1 and only allow incrementing by 10...

 

Some uncontrolled script in that gauge system is causing a "race condition" which is what "we" have apparently named uncontrolled Event firing. B)

HI Bill. Thanks. It looks like prop_pitch1_set and prop_pitch2_set are constantly repeated. Is there any way to fix the problem? The plane is good in other respects and is worth saving. Bob.

Those are axis commands, technically... and as such shouldn't cause the problem you're seeing... however, it clearly does.  Since constant axis input shouldn't be a bad thing... I suggest replacing PROP_PITCH1_SET with AXIS_PROPELLER1_SET.  The only difference is the range... PROP_PITCH1_SET is 0 to 16383 and KEY_AXIS_PROPELLER1_SET is -16383 to 16383.  See if that fixes it.

 

If not... then the ONLY solution is to use the FSUIPC fix key acceleration checkbox.

Hi Ed. Thanks. How can I replace the PROP_PITCH1_SET with AXIS_PROPELLER1_SET. I don't know which gauge uses those commands.

 

Where is the FSUIPC fix key acceleration checkbox? I have the registered FSUIPC latest version.

 

Thanks, Bob.

Well, now how on earth would I know?  I'm a programmer not a psychic :wink:  Seriously though, I don't have said aircraft and couldn't answer your question any more than I have.

 

Check the miscellaneous tab in FSUIPC... I think it's on that tab.
