Help with QW787 profile

[raam123 5]

Hi,

I enjoy using Andrew’s Linda 787 config.

Some functions are missing and I would like to ask is it possible to had them ?

For example:

MINS setting ?

Currently, changing form BARO / RADIO available but setting MINS is not configured.

FPV setting,

I managed to copy paste same function from MTRS but FPV wont come on unless clicked first on aircraft itself the function is available... 😕

Thanks again for your work.

Appreciate any assistance. 

Ittai.

This is not an aircraft I fly and I had to download and reinstall it before I could address your question.

The problem with implementing the MINS RST knob and FPV button is that there is no obvious cockpit panel indication as to what is happening when the control in operated. The FPV button (like the MTRS button) is not animated. I have identified the Lvars QW_MCP_L_SEL_RB_Knob and QW_MCP_L_FPV_Button respectively but I can see no reaction to changing these values.

Please tell me what indications one can see to verify that these actions are working?

Hi Andrew,

Sure there is an indication.

By pressing FPV you see the 'aircraft' symbol on PFD

MINS RST display and blanks Minimums on PFD.

I have photo to explain if it is not clear.

Please provide a photo as I could not see these changes. Do you have be in flight or a specific flight mode for them to appear? What are MINS and FPV in the first place? I am an Airbus flyer - Boeing confuses me.

I hope this help,

 

I will really appreciate if you can assist me adding the minimums to the config ?

incr/dec,  incfast/decfast....

The minimums Lvar is 

"qw_dh_clicked"
1=Decrease,
2=Increase

I didn't understand how you had the Baro inc/dec:

function QW_MCP_BARO_show ()
    Altimeter_BARO_show()
end

function QW_MCP_BARO_inc ()
    Altimeter_BARO_plus()
end

function QW_MCP_BARO_incfast ()
    Altimeter_BARO_plusfast()
end

function QW_MCP_BARO_dec ()
    Altimeter_BARO_minus()
end

function QW_MCP_BARO_decfast ()
    Altimeter_BARO_minussfast()
end

I will also send E-mail via private

Try the update module sent by PM. Please test and report back.

I have added the functions:

• QW_MCP_MINS_inc/_dec
• QW_MCP_L_RTS_press - Should read RST
• QW_MCP_FPV_press

The QW_MCP_BARO knob functions use the LINDA default FSX functions (Altimeter_BARO_) as these achieve the desired result without any extra coding.

@raam123 I have been in contact with the QW787 developer via their support forum. It is confirmed that QW787 does not expose all Lvars for all buttons on startup. You will need to continue to click on those buttons you have identified to 'activate' the Lvar and for LINDA then to function.

That's bad new but at least we are aware of.

Thanks Andrew for the great support.

Anyone else notice that QW_OH_FUEL_PUMP_R_CTR does not turn on right centre fuel pump?

(all centre same thing - only left turns on)
