Beta PMDG737 MSFS Beta - Issue Reports

[FSC190 30]

Hi Andrew,

I missed a "Both LDG Lights on" and "Both LDG Lights Of"f function

Can you add this in the next Update
 

function PMDG_OVHD_EXTLTS_LAND_BOTH_On ()
        PMDG_OVHD_EXTLTS_LAND_L_on()
        PMDG_OVHD_EXTLTS_LAND_R_on()
end

function PMDG_OVHD_EXTLTS_LAND_BOTH_Off ()
        PMDG_OVHD_EXTLTS_LAND_L_off()
        PMDG_OVHD_EXTLTS_LAND_R_off()
end

 

And please have a look at the LDG-Light Installation Options.

There is also a 3 Way switch (On, Pulse, Off) possible.

The LDG-Light function in V0.5 don't work with this option.

Hi Roland

I have added the Landing Lights Both On/Off for the next release.

You are going to have to help me. I can not find these light options (pulse) in the FMC equipment options for the PMDG 737-700. What are they are and why don't the current options don't work?

Hi Andrew,

it is PMDG Setup / Aircraft equipment page  13/15 LSK L1

"Ext Light Package"

ORIGINAL    --> ORIGINAL  W/PULSE --> LED LTRTL    --> LED LTRTL W/PULSE

2 way switch --> 3 way switch                -->2  way switch  --> 3 way switch

With a 3 way switch  Ldg_Lights On moves the witch into the middle position (pulse),

Found it thanks.

The original LDG-switches are a bit difficult, cause there are 4 switches. 2 fixed LDG-Lights with a 2 way switch and 2 retractable switch with a 3 way switch Positions Retract -> Off -> On

And a long bar to switch them all together.

The easiest LDG-Lights are the LED-Lights

@FSC190 thank you for the clarification. v0.6 released with fixed and retractable landing light functions

Gear lever commands are not working properly.

The gear UP command set's the lever to OFF. (as if it just goes one step up.)

Gear OFF and Gear Down go to the correct position.

I use the latest PMGD 737 module (downloaded a week ago.)

UPDATE: and YES, I did check to make sure I don't have anything else linked to the gear lever positions in Linda as well as FS2020.

I tested with the previous version and all was OK. After spending some time downloading PMDG 737 v3.0.20, I was able to confirm the issue with Gear Up function. It is an issue with the timing of 2 consecutive up commands (and the non-nonsensical 1960's 3 position design). It will be fixed in v0.7 beta. In the meantime, try adding this update in your PMDG737 user.lua file:

function PMDG_MPNL_GEAR_up ()
local pos = ipc.readLvar('switch_455_73X')
    if pos > 30 then
        PMDG_MPNL_GEAR_inc ()
        ipc.sleep(4000)
    end
    if pos == 0 then
        PMDG_MPNL_GEAR_inc ()
        ipc.sleep(300)
    end
    ipc.writeLvar('switch_455_73X', 0)
    if pos > 0 then
        PMDG_MPNL_GEAR_inc ()
        ipc.sleep(300)
    end
    if _MCP1()  then
        DspShow ("GEAR", ">>UP")
    end
    ipc.sleep(300)
    PMDG_MPNL_GEAR_show ()
end

Thanks Andrew,

I'll add the lines to the Lua script till module v0.7 is released.

Best added to user.lua. This will override the existing function without affecting the original actions.lua.

Yes, will do.

Thx again
