First of all I have tried to contact the panel creator and the person that updated the panel, with no response, etc.

 

I am using the Project Airbus A-380 with a 2D panel by Ken Mitchel and updated by Wilhelm Hudetz.

 

The issue is with the Heading (HDG) knob on the Autopilot Control Panel (on main and zoomed panels). It is a clickable knob and when mouse if hovering over it you do get the + and - signs show up but remains at 044 degrees.

 

Could some kind soul assist me with this as I do not have the facilities to alter XML or bitmaps. I note that the downloads a380wspnl.zip and a380wsupd01.zip have both beem downloaded several thousand times respectively so someone out there has had the same issue!

 

Thank you

Hello there. Since no one else has responded I'll see if I can help. I have downloaded both files you named and although I do not have them installed in a aircraft I have inspected the XML file associated with the heading adjustment knob. The XML file "HDGADJ" is straight forward and typical for that type of use. The panel configuration reference is; gauge25=Z_AB380KM_WH!HDGADJ,  1138,469,80,50 and that is also normal and workable. There are no bitmaps used with this XML except a dummy image named "NAVADJ.bmp" for the XML coordinates to be applied to, so you will not see a rotating knob or anything. You should be able to mouse over the gauge to get it to show the + or - as you have observed and at that point while either are visible by clicking left mouse or holding the left mouse button get the HDG to change. Well it should any way. Have you tried changing the course setting? The course knob should work the same, at least according to how the XML files are written. Check out what I have provided so far and let me know how things go.

 

Here is the actual XML text involved:

 

<Gauge Name="HDG ADJUSTER" Version="1.0">
   <Image Name="NAVADJ.bmp" ImageSizes="80,50"/>
   <Mouse>

      <Area Left="0" Right="35" Top="6" Bottom="45">
         <Cursor Type="DownArrow"/>
         <Click Event="HEADING_BUG_DEC" Repeat="Yes"/>
      </Area>
      <Area Left="40" Right="80" Top="6" Bottom="45">
         <Cursor Type="UpArrow"/>
         <Click Event="HEADING_BUG_INC" Repeat="Yes"/>
      </Area>
   </Mouse>
</Gauge>

 

So basically the left half of the 80x50 area = a minus sign and heading number decrease, right half = a plus sign and heading number increase, with a little dead space (5 pixels) between the two.

 

The fact that you are seeing the plus and minus signs as you stated says the gauge is functioning properly. If the XML was written with a error involved those wouldn't show. Again try keeping the + or - visible while you click. If you are already doing that then please forgive me and by all means let me know and I will be happy to look into this further. I hope this will be helpful.

 

Best regards,

Mel

Hi Mel, thank you for your input.

 

This is what I have at present, without looking at the panel itself (FS9 is on an external drive currently being used elsewhere).

 

The Heading does not change from 044 when clicking, although the plus and minus signs are shown when hovering over the knob.

 

The quartz digits remain at 044. This is the xml, I think, for the visual display gauge. Although you will see ALT DISPLAY it states HDGDIS.xml in the CAB:

 

- <Gauge Name="ALT DISPLAY" Version="1.0">

  <Image Name="NAV.bmp" ImageSizes="97,29" />

- <Element>

- <Element>

  <Position X="5" Y="2" />

- <Text X="87" Y="25" Bright="Yes" Length="6" Font="Quartz" Color="Yellow" Adjust="Center" VerticalAdjust="Center" Multiline="No" Fixed="Yes">

  <String>%((A:Autopilot altitude lock var, feet))%!05.0f!</String>

  </Text>

  </Element>

  </Element>

  <copyright>©2003 Ken Mitchell [[email protected]]</copyright>

  </Gauge>

 

You ask about the Course XML. This is the odd thing because visually on the panel itself you will be misled for seeing inHg/Mb, but it shows the Course 259 degrees and it does change the degrees when clicking the knob. Below are the two xml's:

 

- <Gauge Name="CRS ADJUSTER" Version="1.0">

  <Image Name="NAVADJ.bmp" ImageSizes="80,50" />

- <Mouse>

- <Area Left="0" Right="35" Top="6" Bottom="45">

  <Cursor Type="DownArrow" />

  <Click Event="VOR1_OBI_DEC" Repeat="Yes" />

  </Area>

- <Area Left="40" Right="80" Top="6" Bottom="45">

  <Cursor Type="UpArrow" />

  <Click Event="VOR1_OBI_INC" Repeat="Yes" />

  </Area>

  </Mouse>

  </Gauge>

 

 

- <Gauge Name="CRS DISPLAY" Version="1.0">

  <Image Name="NAV.bmp" ImageSizes="97,29" />

- <Element>

  <Visible>(A:Circuit avionics on, bool)</Visible>

- <Element>

  <Position X="5" Y="2" />

- <Text X="87" Y="25" Bright="Yes" Length="3" Font="Quartz" Color="Azure" Adjust="Center" VerticalAdjust="Center" Multiline="No" Fixed="No">

  <String>%((A:NAV1 OBS, degrees) abs)%!03.0f!</String>

  </Text>

  </Element>

  </Element>

  <copyright>©2003 Ken Mitchell [[email protected]]</copyright>

  </Gauge>

 

 

Reading xml is one thing, but I am only just coming to terms with what the codes mean! Please let me know what you think of the above xml's, because while the Heading cannot be changed from its fixed position, the Course can?

 

Best Regards

Hello Joe, thank you for your input.

 

As stated before, both the original panel and the panel update were installed i.e. 380wspnl.zip and a380wsupd01.zip.

 

This is the original xml:

 

 

- <Gauge Name="HDG ADJUSTER" Version="1.0">

  <Image Name="NAVADJ.bmp" ImageSizes="80,50" />

- <Mouse>

- <Area Left="0" Right="35" Top="6" Bottom="45">

  <Cursor Type="DownArrow" />

  <Click>(L:heading lock dir,degrees) -- (>L:heading lock dir,degrees)</Click>

  </Area>

- <Area Left="40" Right="80" Top="6" Bottom="45">

  <Cursor Type="UpArrow" />

  <Click>(L:heading lock dir,degrees) ++ (>L:heading lock dir,degrees)</Click>

  </Area>

  </Mouse>

  </Gauge>

 

and this is the updated xml (which does not work)

 

- <Gauge Name="HDG ADJUSTER" Version="1.0">

  <Image Name="NAVADJ.bmp" ImageSizes="80,50" />

- <Mouse>

- <Area Left="0" Right="35" Top="6" Bottom="45">

  <Cursor Type="DownArrow" />

  <Click Event="HEADING_BUG_DEC" Repeat="Yes" />

  </Area>

- <Area Left="40" Right="80" Top="6" Bottom="45">

  <Cursor Type="UpArrow" />

  <Click Event="HEADING_BUG_INC" Repeat="Yes" />

  </Area>

  </Mouse>

  </Gauge>

 

With respect to the authors or any author, when they update and state to overwrite if prompted, you are expected to do exactly that if you you want the update, etc. Yes, one should always backup the original. However, it is polite for an author to respond when you have found a legitimate issue with their coding as in this case - which they have chose for whatever reason not to respond!

 

Incidentally, the "Read Me" file for the update is the same as the original one, thus nothing to suggest what the update was in fact updating!

 

If you are around Mel, do you see an issue with the original xml? (I cannot check it on FS9 until I get the external drive back, probably Friday or Monday next.)

If you are around Mel, do you see an issue with the original xml? (I cannot check it on FS9 until I get the external drive back, probably Friday or Monday next.)

 

I will look into this as soon as possible. Wife has me on snow removal duty today. BIG! Winter storm.

 

The internal name of the XML is not important - no effect, but at a quick glance at:

 

- <Gauge Name="ALT DISPLAY" Version="1.0">

  <Image Name="NAV.bmp" ImageSizes="97,29" />

- <Element>

- <Element>

  <Position X="5" Y="2" />

- <Text X="87" Y="25" Bright="Yes" Length="6" Font="Quartz" Color="Yellow" Adjust="Center" VerticalAdjust="Center" Multiline="No" Fixed="Yes">

  <String>%((A:Autopilot altitude lock var, feet))%!05.0f!</String>

  </Text>

  </Element>

  </Element>

  <copyright>©2003 Ken Mitchell [[email protected]]</copyright>

  </Gauge>

 

does look very wrong indeed.

 

the line;

 

  <String>%((A:Autopilot altitude lock var, feet))%!05.0f!</String>

 

should read something more like:

 

 

      <String>%((A:Autopilot heading lock dir, degrees))%!03.0f!</String>

 

and in:

 

     <Text X="87" Y="25" Bright="Yes" Length="6" Font="Quartz" Color="Yellow" Adjust="Center" VerticalAdjust="Center" Multiline="No" Fixed="Yes">

 

Length="6" doesn't match - you only need Length="3" - 3 digits to display the heading.

 

So the function stated by the external name of the XML "HDGDIS" certainly does not match what it is programed to do.

 

It appears that the author of the update used an XML by KM for displaying altitude setting with a modification to display the set heading but forgot to change the variable involved.

 

As you said, very strange that others haven't noticed this or had this show up. More to follow.

Mel

Hello Andy,

 

Yes, it is the same update as what Joe indicated.

 

Based on the information given to Mel, he is looking at it further as there is an issue with that update.

 

Watch this space for his further response - he is on snow clearing duties!

Snow duties on hold - snowing faster than I can shovel!

 

Well the XML gauge being discussed in my post #6 turns out to be junk that should have been removed before the whole thing was Cab filed.

 

Here is what I've got up to now:

 

gauge25=Z_AB380KM_WH!HDGADJ = the XML file HDGADJ is a KM original and is used in several of his other panels a couple of which I use such as KM777, it works.

 

The XML file "HDGDIS" in the updated "Z_AB380KM_WH.CAB" is also leftover junk. The actual heading display is provided for in the "gauge74=Z_AB380KM_WH!AP_WINDOW1". The XML file AP_Window1 contain this:

 

<Gauge Name="AP 1 DISPLAY" Version="1.0" Size="280,36">

 

   <Element>

      <Visible>(A:Circuit avionics on, bool) (L:PFD Switch, bool) !

 

&&</Visible>

   <Image Name="AP_WINDOW1.bmp" ImageSizes="280,36"/>

         <Text X="40" Y="14" Bright="Yes" Length="5" Font="Quartz"

_____________________________________________________

 

This text displays the speed and heading both, plus the text label for IAS or Mach and HDG. The meaningful portion: "<String>%((A:Autopilot heading lock dir, degrees))%!03.0f!</String>" is identical to what I have used myself so I know that works. So we have arrived at geez it should work! That leads me to this; Since others haven't complained about a problem and the authors certainly did some testing that perhaps if you have made any changes in the panel configuration file there might be a numbering error that is causing the set up to drop a gauge or two? Check the gauge numbering carefully. Have you checked to see if the heading adjust and display work in the zoomed window? Let me know on these things please and we'll continue from there.

 

Snowed in,

Mel

 

Hello Mel!

 

Follows is the panel.cfg, but this is as I received it, etc and it has not been changed from my end. The Heading neither worked in either of the panels - widescreen and zoomed.

From what you mention about the 'leftover junk', is there something in the "Z_AB380KM_WH.CAB" which should not be there?

 

If there is something specific that should be done can you set it out? For example, that which should be deleted from, or changed, within a specific xml or the panel.cfg.

The updated file works for me, are you sure you overwrote the old one when you installed the update?

Leave the "leftover junk" alone.it does not hurt anything by being there.

 

In fact, removing it could affect other planes that use that .cab file, if you are keeping it in the ...\FS9\gauges folder.

 

The only negative impact the "leftover junk" has is the very small amount of disc space it consumes.

Hello Joe,

 

Yes - original HDGADJ.xml 13/5/2004. Updated HDGADJ.xml 29/6/2011.

 

It has been overwritten.

PS Just seen your additional response - it is in the FS Gauges folder and will remain there!

 

 

Hello Joe,

It has been overwritten.

Maybe you can double check that when you get your hard drive back.

Hello Joe,

 

The external drive can be accessed at a distance to read - what I cannot do is open up the flightsim to "fly" until it is back attached here with me!

 

I am looking at the files; that is why I was able to respond with the date details.
