I created a couple of more Linda functions for the F1 Mustang that I find useful.  If only I could figure out how to shut off the gear horn with a switch I'd have everything.

function F1Must_safetyseats_inc ()

     val = ipc.readLvar("PAXSAFETYSEATBELT")

     if val < 2 then

         val = val + 1

         ipc.writeLvar("PAXSAFETYSEATBELT", val)

     end

    ipc.setbitsUW("0D0C", 64)

 

    ipc.control(65823, 300) --  sound

    ipc.control(65823, 0) --  sound

end

 

function F1Must_safetyseats_dec ()

     val = ipc.readLvar("PAXSAFETYSEATBELT")

     if val > 0 then

         val = val - 1

         ipc.writeLvar("PAXSAFETYSEATBELT", val)

     end

    ipc.setbitsUW("0D0C", 64)

 

    ipc.control(65823, 300) --  sound

    ipc.control(65823, 0) --  sound

end

 

function F1Must_EngineSync_on ()

    val = 1

    LVarSet = "L:EngineSync"

    ipc.writeLvar(LVarSet, val)

    ipc.sleep(50)

    ipc.control(65823, 2) -- knob sound

    DspShow("EngSync", " on ")

end

 

function F1Must_EngineSync_off ()

    val = 0

    LVarSet = "L:EngineSync"

    ipc.writeLvar(LVarSet, val)

    ipc.sleep(50)

    ipc.control(65823, 2) -- knob sound

    DspShow("EngSync", " off ")

end

Well...there is one other thing I'd wish for.  The FLC mode doesn't work right with hardware.  If you select FLC and try to use the VS knob the wheel moves but it doesn't change the speed.   Ok...sigh.  But, then if you move the SPD knob the speed resets to 80 and the wheel doesn't turn.  It'd be nice if it just mapped to the V/S knob or both knobs moved the wheel.  As far as I can tell there isn't an L variable for speed so it's probably as good as it's going to be.

To shut the gear horn, use this code, it was taken from the KingAir forum, thanks to Andreas

gearhorn.lua

ipc.control(65823, 327)
ipc.sleep(100)
ipc.control(65823, 0)

ipc.sleep(100)

Worked great.  Thank you!  Here's my final LINDA function:

 

function F1Must_GearHorn_silence ()

     ipc.control(65823, 327)

     ipc.sleep(100)

     ipc.control(65823, 0)    ipc.control(65823, 2) -- knob sound

     DspShow("EngSync", " off ")

end

Many thanks,

 

if you bundle this once in the Mustang module, you can send this to me and I'll upload it into a new version.

Hello,

 

You can increase the FLC target value by setting this variable:

65896

 

To decrease, use this:

65897

 

This is a basic idea of how it should work, but please note that this is untested code, so you will probably need to modify it:

ipc.control(65896, ExistingFSXApVariable + 1)

I am not sure if LUA makes it possible to get an existing FSX variable, if it does, then you can get it all working.

That's interesting.  I'll fiddle with it and let you know.

Sure thing!

It turned out to be easier than that!  All I had to do was call ipc.control with the values you gave with no parameter.  Seems to work perfectly now.  The final code is below.  I'll bundle up all the changes and send them to Guenter.  Thanks!

 

function F1Must_SPD_inc()

    ipc.control(65896)

    F1VS = ipc.readLvar("VsWheel")

 

    F1VS = F1VS + 5

    if F1VS >= 100 then

    F1VS = 0

    end

    ipc.writeLvar("VsWheel", F1VS)

    ipc.control(65823, 11) -- knob sound

    ipc.control(65823, 0) -- knob sound

end

 

function F1Must_SPD_fastinc()

    ipc.control(65896)

    ipc.control(65896)

    F1VS = ipc.readLvar("VsWheel")

 

    F1VS = F1VS + 5

    if F1VS >= 100 then

    F1VS = 0

    end

    ipc.writeLvar("VsWheel", F1VS)

    ipc.control(65823, 11) -- knob sound

    ipc.control(65823, 0) -- knob sound

end

 

function F1Must_SPD_dec()

    ipc.control(65897)

    F1VS = ipc.readLvar("VsWheel")

 

    F1VS = F1VS - 5

    if F1VS <= 0 then

    F1VS = 100

    end

    ipc.writeLvar("VsWheel", F1VS)

 

    ipc.control(65823, 11) -- knob sound

    ipc.control(65823, 0) -- knob sound

end

 

function F1Must_SPD_fastdec()

    ipc.control(65897)

    ipc.control(65897)

    F1VS = ipc.readLvar("VsWheel")

 

    F1VS = F1VS - 5

    if F1VS <= 0 then

    F1VS = 100

    end

    ipc.writeLvar("VsWheel", F1VS)

 

    ipc.control(65823, 11) -- knob sound

    ipc.control(65823, 0) -- knob sound

end

And here are a few more functions for Nav, Beacon, and Anticollision lights so that they click the same way the rest of the switches do.  I've sent these to Guenter as well.

 

Gregg

 

function F1Must_BeaconLight_on()

    Lights_BEACON_on ()

    ipc.control(65823, 1) -- knob sound

    ipc.control(65823, 0) -- knob sound

end

 

function F1Must_BeaconLight_off()

    Lights_BEACON_off ()

    ipc.control(65823, 1) -- knob sound

    ipc.control(65823, 0) -- knob sound

end

 

function F1Must_NavLights_on()

    Lights_NAV_on ()

    ipc.control(65823, 1) -- knob sound

    ipc.control(65823, 0) -- knob sound

end

 

function F1Must_NavLights_off()

    Lights_NAV_off ()

    ipc.control(65823, 1) -- knob sound

    ipc.control(65823, 0) -- knob sound

end

 

function F1Must_StrobeLights_on()

    Lights_STROBE_on ()

    ipc.control(65823, 1) -- knob sound

    ipc.control(65823, 0) -- knob sound

end

 

function F1Must_StrobeLights_off()

    Lights_STROBE_off ()

    ipc.control(65823, 1) -- knob sound

    ipc.control(65823, 0) -- knob sound

end

Many thanks, a module will be uploaded by me ASAP!
