A2A c172 and Flight Illusion gauges

[stephane130281 0]

Hi folks,

 

My home cockpit is based on Flight Illusion gauges similar to SimKits. I m totally new to LINDA and was wondering if something has been created for the 172 trainer to extract the correct instrument values so that the Flight Illusion gauges display the proper values?

If so, could somoene explain me in details what to do because that s really obscur for me!

Many thanks.

 

Cheers

Hi Stephan

 

Welcome to LINDA. Until your question I had not heard of Flight Illusion. You will find that there are LINDA modules available for the A2A 172 and 182. However these modules only handle Joystick button type device inputs but do not output to any displays except the VRi MCP and Saitek panels. Adding extra hardware displays is time consuming and expensive. As a freeware product we do not have the funds for trialing expensive hardware like Flight Illusions. I recommend you stick with the drivers the company provides.

OK, thanks for the reply. The problem is that the instruments will not display the correct values then. I ll ask in the air cockpit forum because some of them know how to list L:vars and combine them with LINDA to transfer them in FSUIPC so that the Simkits and/ or flight Illusion gauges display the correct values.

Thanks

Hi Stephane

 

You can always use LINDA's Tracer to monitor the Lvar or FSUIPC4 offset used as the instrument data source.
