Manual for config file

Featured Replies

Hi Guys,

I've just explored the config file, and I'm wondering how some of the settings work exactly. It's not in the ordinary manual and I understand that fiddling around in the config can be dangerous, but what do the following settings do exactly:

TrainingCompleted=1

RandomFailures=0

TweakFsConfig=1

LoudData=0

AllowActionOnEvent=0

[SKILL]
Tol3=030,030,400,900,100,100,100,050
Tol2=020,020,200,700,075,075,075,030
Tol1=010,010,100,500,050,050,050,020
Tol0=005,005,050,300,025,025,025,010

IgnoreFlightPlan=0

FlightPlansPath=

FoAlwaysDialsVHF=0
FoAlwaysDialsAfs=0


[SPLASH]
NoSound=0

[CAT_III]
FlightCalloutHeight=
FlightCalloutText=
GroundCalloutSpeed=
GroundCalloutText=

 

 

I'd like to understand the config file better... what is all this mess?!

Regards

Hi Guys,

I've just explored the config file, and I'm wondering how some of the settings work exactly. It's not in the ordinary manual and I understand that fiddling around in the config can be dangerous, but what do the following settings do exactly:

TrainingCompleted=1  Just reminds MCE, no need to pop-up the wizard, as speech training is already completed

RandomFailures=0  (Not yet functional in X-Plane at this stage)

TweakFsConfig=1  (Not uswd in X-Plane)

LoudData=0  (Some Blind Visually Impaired pilots (yes, there are some), need this feature to give them audio feedback regarding flight parameters. 

AllowActionOnEvent=0  (Not implemented in X-Plane, due to lack of events at this stage)

[SKILL] (Relates to tolerances in terms of heading, speed and alt deviation when enabling "nagging feature" as per selected profociency level in <Monitor> tab
Tol3=030,030,400,900,100,100,100,050
Tol2=020,020,200,700,075,075,075,030
Tol1=010,010,100,500,050,050,050,020
Tol0=005,005,050,300,025,025,025,010

IgnoreFlightPlan=0 (MCE supports Radr Contact and PF3 ATC systems). Option is enabled when for some reason, it's not possible to read flight plan

FlightPlansPath= To be used with Radr Contact ATC or PF3 ATC. You set the path when MCE is unable to work it out automatically

FoAlwaysDialsVHF=0  (to be used with radar Contact and PF3 ATC. FO gets freq from ATC and dials it)
FoAlwaysDialsAfs=0  (to be used with radar Contact and PF3 ATC.  With PF3, FO gets clearance and dials whatever is needed in MCP, heading, assigned alt, squawk)


[SPLASH]
NoSound=0  (Just mutes the audio that goes with the splash screen while MCE is loading in the background

[CAT_III] applies to CAT III approaches only
FlightCalloutHeight= set the height at which a specific call-out is to be made in-flight
FlightCalloutText= write the call out you want to hear in-flight
GroundCalloutSpeed=set the speed below which a specific call-out is to be made on ground
GroundCalloutText=write the call out you want to hear after landing and getting under the assigned speed

Awesome, thank you!

This 

[CAT_III] applies to CAT III approaches only
FlightCalloutHeight= set the height at which a specific call-out is to be made in-flight
FlightCalloutText= write the call out you want to hear in-flight
GroundCalloutSpeed=set the speed below which a specific call-out is to be made on ground
GroundCalloutText=write the call out you want to hear after landing and getting under the assigned speed

Is very much what I've been looking for! Could you make more of these, like after takeoff etc?

Another question about the config file:

What on earth is "FlyingAsCopilot=0" ?! If I set this to 1 then he'll be the captain?!^^
