May 28, 20206 yr Hi everyone, I fly a lot the L-1011 by CaptainSim. But, by default, aircraft is set up with engine running and every button to "arm" or "on". My question isn't "how to set up aircraft to cold and dark" but how to change buttons state in the cockpit ? Is there any parameters in aicraft.cfg or any other file to edit button state ? thanks in advance for your help
June 2, 20206 yr Load default Cessna. Turn everything off. Save flight. Tick the checkbox “make this default flight”. Restart sim. Now when you load an aircraft it should be cold n dark. this works for me on most aircraft. Luke Pype
June 4, 20206 yr Author Yep I know that answer. Howewer, quite a lot of button, very specific to the l-1011 are on "arm" or "on" again (packflow, Hi press, Fuel switch,...). That's why I was asking for a way to edit via aircraft.cfg or any other program file. It should exist a way to edit those buttons no ?
June 6, 20205 yr What I have done is: 1. Add the XML_Vars gauge and/or the fsx_event_logger gauge into the panel.cfg. 2. Indentify the gauge names and states while the panel is loaded. (operate the switches while observing the XML_Vars window) 3. Then modify the switch positions with your own xml "initialize" gauge which runs once at flight-load. Have fun!

June 12, 20205 yr Author Thanks very much for your reply. So I tried on the C172. Here is the result from the event_logger gauge: Time=315.460189; id=258; event_in=KEY_PAUSE_ON; evdata=0 Time=326.880579; id=25; event_in=KEY_PAUSE_TOGGLE; evdata=0 Time=327.802154; id=703; event_in=KEY_TOGGLE_BEACON_LIGHTS; evdata=0 Time=328.141419; id=215; event_in=KEY_LANDING_LIGHTS_TOGGLE; evdata=0 Time=328.557936; id=704; event_in=KEY_TOGGLE_TAXI_LIGHTS; evdata=0 Time=328.939810; id=843; event_in=KEY_TOGGLE_NAV_LIGHTS; evdata=0 Time=329.356851; id=24; event_in=KEY_STROBES_TOGGLE; evdata=0 Time=330.024621; id=25; event_in=KEY_PAUSE_TOGGLE; evdata=0 Time=331.622504; id=258; event_in=KEY_PAUSE_ON; evdata=0 Time=592.841713; id=258; event_in=KEY_PAUSE_ON; evdata=0 Time=596.824021; id=25; event_in=KEY_PAUSE_TOGGLE; evdata=0 Howewer, there isn't any variable for the state of the button...? You talked about my "own initialize gauge". What is it ? I didn't find anything about this
June 13, 20205 yr Try the XML_VARS gauge and assume the listed items are L-variables then add them to this gauge where it says MyVariable, modify the 'enum' as nessesary (or it could also be just boolean (0 or 1): Code: <Gauge Name="AA5_Logic" Version="1.0"> <Element> <Select> <Value> (L:FirstLoad,bool) ! if{ 1 (>L:MyVariable,enum) } 1 (>L:FirstLoad,bool) } </Value> </Select> </Element> </Gauge> The little "logic" gauge above will set (L:MyVariable,enum) to be "1" whenever the aircraft is first loaded. The control variable (L:FirstLoad,bool) will make sure it is only run once. Edited June 13, 20205 yr by budsurf
June 13, 20205 yr Here's an example of an initialize gauge I made for the ATR in Fs9... <Gauge Name="Initialize" Version="1.0"> <Element> <Select> <Value> (L:FirstLoad,bool) ! if{ 0 (>L:ATRFDBarsCpt_pos,bool) 0 (>L:ATRFDBarsCpt,bool) 0 (>L:ATRDome_pos,number) 0 (>L:ATRDome,number) 0 (>L:ATRNav_pos,bool) 0 (>L:ATRNav,bool) 0 (>L:ATRStrobe_pos,bool) 0 (>L:ATRStrobe,bool) 0 (>L:ATRBeacon_pos,bool) 0 (>L:ATRBeacon,bool) } 1 (>L:FirstLoad,bool) } </Value> </Select> </Element> </Gauge>
June 13, 20205 yr Author Thanks for being patient with me BudSurf Ok resuming, I downloaded fsx_event_logger gauge.gau and XML_vars.gau, which have been inserted in the fsx gauge file. Then, I wrote 2-3 lines in the panel.cfg of the C172. I never edited this king of file, neither any gauges. Actually, I can't edit XML, gau, or dll ? Is there any program for that ? I tried Notepad but didn't found any plugins for... I understand the initialize gauge should be specific to each aircraft. Could you confirm me that in... 0 (>L:ATRFDBarsCpt_pos,bool) 0 (>L:ATRFDBarsCpt,bool) 0 (>L:ATRDome_pos,number) 0 (>L:ATRDome,number) 0 (>L:ATRNav_pos,bool) 0 (>L:ATRNav,bool) 0 (>L:ATRStrobe_pos,bool) 0 (>L:ATRStrobe,bool) 0 (>L:ATRBeacon_pos,bool) 0 (>L:ATRBeacon,bool) ..."bool" should be replace by '1' or '0' ? Or is the boolean variable the '0' located just before "(>L:ATRFDBarsCpt_pos,bool)" Then to insert the gauge in the aircraft, do you add a line like this one the panel.cfg ? gauge00=Cessna!Altimeter, 346,167, 79, 79 Do you insert this line in [Window00] or in each [WindowXX] ? Other ? Edited June 13, 20205 yr by Optilium
June 13, 20205 yr You can put the xml_vars gauge in the panel folder, then in the panel.cfg: make new window for xml_var gauge like so: Note window 12.... // ATR 72-500 - Panel Configuration File.

June 13, 20205 yr Then, after observing the switch states in the xml_var window, in game, and identifying the Lvars..... I understand the initialize gauge should be specific to each aircraft. Could you confirm me that in... 0 (>L:ATRFDBarsCpt_pos,bool) 0 (>L:ATRFDBarsCpt,bool) 0 (>L:ATRDome_pos,number) 0 (>L:ATRDome,number) 0 (>L:ATRNav_pos,bool) 0 (>L:ATRNav,bool) 0 (>L:ATRStrobe_pos,bool) 0 (>L:ATRStrobe,bool) 0 (>L:ATRBeacon_pos,bool) 0 (>L:ATRBeacon,bool) ..."bool" should be replace by '1' or '0' ? Or is the boolean variable the '0' located just before "(>L:ATRFDBarsCpt_pos,bool)" The 0 in front of, for example, 0 (>L:ATRFDBarsCpt_pos,bool) is what you change depending on the switch state you desire (0 or 1)... Note though some switches could have more than 2 positions then use this type code: 3 (>L:ATRFDBarsCpt_pos,enum) Where the "3" is the desired switch state. Happy to help... You make the initialize gauge with notepad, you can copy paste mine and change the lvars, and you can put it in the panel folder. Then add to the panel.cfg like: gauge xx=initialize, 0.0
June 15, 20205 yr OK good luck. If you use my initialize gauge above using notepad, just name it ------ Initialize.xml Note: Panels with cabbed gauges are great 'cause you can modify the included xml gauges as much as you want. For example a gauge like "cs.b757.cab" is a cabinet. You can use 7zip (free) to extract the xml gauges to a temporary folder. If you modify one of the xml gauges, in the temp folder, make a new folder called cs.b757 in the main gauges folder and add to it your modded gauge. Lets say you modded the cp_s010 gauge. Put the modded cp_s010.xml into your new folder "cs.b757" along with any modded .bmp (pictures) associated with that gauge. Then when the computer calls that gauge from the panel.cfg ----- for example: gauge11=cs.b757!CP_S010, 1575,808,52,52 The computer will use your modded gauge from your gauges / cs_b757 folder instead of the gauge from the cs.b757.cab ( cabinet ). Whew, hope I didn't confuse ya too bad.
July 5, 20205 yr Author Well... So ! I'm back. After several weeks... -I open notepad and made a gauge for the C172: <Gauge Name="AA5_Logic" Version="1.0"> <Element> <Select> <Value> (L:FirstLoad,bool) ! if{ 0 (>L:KEY_TOGGLE_ELECT_FUEL_PUMP,bool) 1 (>L:KEY_LANDING_LIGHTS_TOGGLE, bool) 0 (>L:KEY_TOGGLE_TAXI_LIGHTS, bool) 1 (>L:KEY_TOGGLE_NAV_LIGHTS, bool) } 1 (>L:FirstLoad,bool) } </Value> </Select> </Element> </Gauge> -Then I save it Gauge_172.xml -I open panel.cfg of the C172 and insert "gauge55=Gauge_C172, 0.0" ; Localized 10/07/2007 09:02 PM (GMT) 4:4.2.169 panel.cfg ;/ Panel Configuration file ;/ Cessna 172sp ;/ Copyright (c) 2001-2003 Microsoft Corporation.

July 6, 20205 yr I would put the gauge name where you have 'AA5_Logic', and where did you put the gauge? Your panel.cfg has it in the panel folder....
