Cowl Flaps Realair Duke 60

[Mischa 6]

I tried to use a copy of the  Linda Duke 60 Turbine Module for the new Duke 60 V2. After looking in the monitor I found that the Duke uses the values 0, 0.5 and 1 with the variable RECIP ENG COWL FLAP POSITION1Ant and RECIP ENG COWL FLAP POSITION2Ant for the cowl flaps positions CLOSE, HALF and OPEN.

 

I modified the lua file with the new values but there is no reaction when I use my buttons with the defined action. I also tried the variables with underscore instead of space.

 

Any idea what is wrong with the lua script?

    ipc.writeLvar("L:RECIP ENG COWL FLAP POSITION1Ant", 0)

        DspShow ("Cowl", "half")
end

    local buf = ipc.readLvar("L:RECIP ENG COWL FLAP POSITION1Ant") + 0.5

Hello,

 

seems the Duke Piston does not work like the Turbine in any aspects.

Great you found the LUA variables yourself, (they are also right) but these are just indicators of cowl flap state

 

I have to make a new module first, but I first have to wait that my replacement Combo will arrive.

 

But I have worked out the correct cowl flap code, you could copy and use it:

-- ## Cowl Flaps #####################################

function Duke_CowlFlap1_show ()
    CF1var = ipc.readLvar("L:Duke_Cowl_Flaps_Switch_1")
    if CF1var == 0 then CF1txt = "clsd"
    elseif CF1var == 0 then CF1txt = "half"
    elseif CF1var == 0 then CF1txt = "open"
    end
    DspShow ("CwlL", CF1txt)
end

function Duke_CowlFlap2_show ()
    CF2var = ipc.readLvar("L:Duke_Cowl_Flaps_Switch_2")
    if CF2var == 0 then CF2txt = "clsd"
    elseif CF2var == 0 then CF2txt = "half"
    elseif CF2var == 0 then CF2txt = "open"
    end
    DspShow ("CwlR", CF2txt)
end

function Duke_CowlFlaps_show ()
    CF2var = ipc.readLvar("L:Duke_Cowl_Flaps_Switch_2")
    CF1var = ipc.readLvar("L:Duke_Cowl_Flaps_Switch_1")
    CFvar = CF1var + CF2var
    if CFvar == 0 then CFtxt = "clsd"
    elseif CFvar == 2 then CFtxt = "half"
    elseif CFvar == 4 then CFtxt = "open"
    end
    DspShow ("Cowl", CFtxt)
end

function CowlFlaps_LEFT_half ()

    ipc.control(66162, 8200)

Can't say if the "_show" function is working currently if you use a combo.

Ignore it if not ...

Great,  Thanks a lot for your support.

 

I will test it as soon as I'm back at home.
