QW-787 module beta

[Pablojc 0]

Hi Andrew

First of all, thanks for this update for the QW-787.

I recently installed it and everything is fine but after assigning buttons and switches in my Saitek panels, I have 4 seconds of delay in the execution.
What could be happening?

I'm using Linda v3.05, W7-64 / FSX

Thanks in advance.

What functions have you allocated to the Switch Panel? Please email me your config-hid.lua file in /modules/linda-cfg/Aircraft/qw787 to LINDA @ awginfosys.net (without spaces).

Hi Pablo

I found an error in a switch line call that was delaying the Landing light operation. This will be fixed in next release.

If you experience any other 'delayed' responses please follow the fault diagnosis thread procedure (to active Verbose logging) and email me the fsuipcX.log file. Errors are displayed in read and include line numbers that will point me straight to any processing errors.

I already sent the file.

Hi Andrew,

fsuipcX.log file send.

The delay problem, is with all buttons and switches. Pressing several buttons in succession increases the response delay.

Again, thank you for your time.

The problem is linked to my adding the switch sounds to the QW787 module v0.2 beta. Download and install LINDA 3.0.6 to correct the delay issue. Let me know how you get on.

UPDATE: There are some delays in QW787 switch operations, especially, when you operate them in quick succession (as is possible with the Switch Panel). This is because extra ipc.sleep() delays have had to be added to ensure the switches operate correctly. All inputs will be queued and actioned in order.

With Linda 3.0.6 now everything works Ok.

Thanks for your support.

Good news.

Its very hard to set the altitude. with the MCP1. Even when I delete the alt incfast  and alt decfast, I am unable to catch the required Altitude, It jumps by thousand then by hundred and vice versa.

And so it does with every other AP knob.

 

 

[ScotFlieger 280]

This is an issue with the QW787 implementation. Change the knob assignments to _inc or _dec only removing the _incfast and _decfast. Also set the auto/1000 rotary switch to 1000.

  Hello everyone,

Another error that must be corrected in Linda_action.lua is:

- $$ Runway Light Both

function QW_OH_LT_Both_RWYTF_on ()
     QW_OH_LT_L_RWYTF_on ()
     QW_OH_LT_R_RWYTF_on ()
end

function QW_OH_LT_Both_RWYTF_off ()
     QW_OH_LT_L_RWYTF_off () The original is ON
     QW_OH_LT_R_RWYTF_off () the original is ON
end

regards

Fixed in 0.4 beta. Many thanks.

Hi, Thanks for the module.  I have LINDA 3.07 everything is fine except one small item.  The APU start function.  No mater what button I assign, it will not move to the start, it will go to the off, but not the start.  I have QW OH ELE APU start, selected for the switch function.  I'm using FSX-SE on Win 7 64bit.

Thanks very much

Hi Gnacino,

What type of external panel are you using to assign the buttons or switch?

In my case, I turn on the APU with my Saitek witch panel and it works fine.

I've used several panels GF,CH, and Saitek.  By accident, I found a solution,  I have to set a button to on, on the APU, and another button to start, then it will go to start but not without setting it on "on" first..
