Flying my B120

This is my Carenado Embraer B120 v1.3 in P3d v4.5

And like all aircraft I purchase I turn on P3D's content logging just to see what the dev crew left behind so to speak.

Have worked through the majority of the gauges correcting mostly syntax errors (possibly cut and paste issues? e.g. code cut from other Carenado a/c ?)

And also reworked the fuel cut off because in it's original form the functionality was,

• Set prop pitch condition levers to zero.
• Hold the Ctrl + F2 key combo to feather the props and hold until levers move to the stop postion.
• Then hit the red fuel cut levers.

All good except the condition levers must be right back towards the stop position to activate the red levers, which then covers said red levers making them next to impossible to click without a custom view low enough to see and click.

With the changes I've made the functionality is,

• Set prop pitch condition levers to zero.
• Use the Ctrl + F2 key combo to feather the props and hold just a touch to get the levers past the negative zero postion.
• There is now easy access to the fuel cut red levers and they are active.
• Hit the red fuel cut levers to automatically move the condition levers to almost the stop position.
• Use the Ctrl + F2 key combo to move the condition levers the last notch to stop the engines.

Close enough to just the way I want it 🙂

ModelConverterX is needed to edit the in use interior model's code (there are a number of interior models depending on PBR, GTN etc.)
My approach is to first copy the model (so there's a backup), then import the model copy into ModelConverterX, copy out the xml into notepad++ to make changes because notepad++ is a far better text editor, then paste all the notepad++ code into the ModelConverterX xml editor overwriting all the existing code.
Export the model as the required sim type overwriting the original in use interior model (not the backup).

Code Snips

Seaching for "GENERAL ENG PROPELLER LEVER POSITION" will return all the code sections related to the prop control where you're looking for the Engine 1|2 shut.

The two snips replace the same code sections in the actual code.

      <TooltipText>Engine 1 shutoff (%((L:LEVER_PROP_PITCH1_B120_SHUTOFF,bool) 0 ==)%{if}Off%{else}On%{end})</TooltipText>
      <CallbackCode>
      (A:GENERAL ENG PROPELLER LEVER POSITION:1,percent) (&gt;L:PROP_LEV_POS_TEMP1,number)
      (L:LEVER_PROP_PITCH1_B120_SHUTOFF,number) 0 ==
      (A:GENERAL ENG PROPELLER LEVER POSITION:1,percent) -0 &lt;= and
     if{

      <TooltipText>Engine 2 shutoff (%((L:LEVER_PROP_PITCH2_B120_SHUTOFF,bool) 0 ==)%{if}Off%{else}On%{end})</TooltipText>
      <CallbackCode>
      (A:GENERAL ENG PROPELLER LEVER POSITION:2,percent) (&gt;L:PROP_LEV_POS_TEMP2,number)
      (L:LEVER_PROP_PITCH2_B120_SHUTOFF,number) 0 ==
      (A:GENERAL ENG PROPELLER LEVER POSITION:2,percent) -0 &lt;= and
      if{

I'm sure better xml coders could do better (and I'm happy to take direction), but hey it works for me 🙂

Cheers
