February 25, 200323 yr Hallo,Is there a way in XML to show, toggle, which COM-Radio is transmitting?"Receiving both" is no problem.I use a switch and this one moves, when i use the 777 audio-panel.Whatever k-event i try, doesn't move the switch or changes the indicator light.The A-Var is: (A:COM1 TRANSMIT,bool)and (A:COM2 TRANSMIT,bool).Janhttp://community.webshots.com/storage/1/v4...75aouncN_th.jpg Jan "Beatus ille qui procul negotiis..."

Jan, I have had no trouble with these. Perhaps this will help: (A:COM1 TRANSMIT,bool) (A:Avionics master switch,bool) &&As you can see, I am displaying an LED whenever COM1 is selected, but that could just as easily be a switch. Please note that in FS2k2, that switching to COM2 will automatically toggle COM1 TRANSMIT,bool to 0 for you, so you do not need to allow for that case (they are mutually exclusive by default).
February 26, 200323 yr Author Fr. Bill,Thanks, but the real problem is the click-event.What K-event must i use to toggle, choose, between COM1 and COM2?L Var's didn't work sofar.The switch or LED is then not a problem anymore.(Same problem with ADF active and standby freq.)Janhttp://community.webshots.com/storage/1/v4...75aouncN_th.jpg Jan "Beatus ille qui procul negotiis..."

Ah ha! I had quite forgotten that the k_events for the COM functions are inoperative in FS2k2... :)Just before his untimely death, Bill Morad graciously provided me with a C++ gauge that will 'intercept and convert' unneeded k_events and act as a substitute for the missing k_events for the COMs. That is why those commands will look strange... :)You can d/l the KMA28 gauge from my website and it will have the needed gauges included, including the 'clicksounds'http://www.catholic-hymns.com/frbill/FS200...XML_Gauges.htmlPlease feel free to make whatever use you wish with the files, as they were intended to be freely available for anyone to use.
February 27, 200323 yr Author Fr. Bill,I can be terr. wrong, but in your KMA 28 gauge, i cannot switch between COM1 ans 2 either?!Of course i have the whm-kevents gauge and the xml-sound.Janhttp://community.webshots.com/storage/1/v4...75aouncN_th.jpg Jan "Beatus ille qui procul negotiis..."

Did you "install" the whm-kevents.gau on the panel you're using? Just put it on the panel at 0,0 if you wish since it's invisible anyway.If the gauge isn't present, then nothing will happen... :)
February 28, 200323 yr Author Fr. Bill,I have, but the switch doesn't work.(not that it is so important, but i'm busy with the radios since 3 weeks)Janhttp://community.webshots.com/storage/1/v4...75aouncN_th.jpg Jan "Beatus ille qui procul negotiis..."
March 1, 200323 yr >Fr. Bill, >>I have, but the switch doesn't work. >(not that it is so important, but i'm busy with the radios >since 3 weeks) Jan,I assume that you did follow the instructions?To use the KMA 28, you must put all gauges in the ../Gauges folder of FS2002, and add the following lines to your panel.cfg file for the aircraft you wish to use:gaugexx=TB20 KMA28!KMA 28, x,y,h,wgaugeyy=XMLSound!XML-Sound, 342,565,23,18gaugezz=WHM-kevents!XML-kevents, 342,569,23,18Have you tried using the included KMA 28 Audio Panel to see if it works first? If it works OK, then your problem may be a syntax error. This gauge works for everyone who's d/l'ed the Socata TB20GT aircraft, so I suspect a syntax error in your .XML coding... :)
March 1, 200323 yr Author Fr. Bill,You won't believe it, but when i try to load the Socata there are no gauges????I think i installed everything ok.Stop trying for the time being.http://community.webshots.com/storage/1/v4...75aouncN_th.jpg Jan "Beatus ille qui procul negotiis..."

If you didn't d/l and install the Service Release v1.1, then there is a mistake in the aircraft.cfg file... :(In the entry for panel, I accidently left a test entry...panel=test (or new, I don't remember which...)Simply make the entrypanel=and save the aircraft.cfg file. Everything should now work OK.
March 1, 200323 yr Author Frather, You are a real shepard, so much patience with a stupid sheep.Brought your Socata to KGCN and buzzed the canyon.This summer september my wife and i were there and flew with GCAirlines.Amazing how real the fs2002 scenery is.By the way, the radios are OK!So i'll try to incorporate the xml in my 767 pedestal.Janhttp://community.webshots.com/storage/1/v4...75aouncN_th.jpg Jan "Beatus ille qui procul negotiis..."

Wunderbar! :-doh Isn't XML great! The code is highly portable, you just need to remake the graphics... :-wink
March 15, 200323 yr Author Well....After being busy with the radio's i finally found something concerning the problem, but didn't solve it.Choosing between com1 and 2 after all was not the problem, it works OK, until.......the Autothrottle is engaged.Not the Autothrottle-switch is the causa, but the Speed- and Mach hold switches.Has probably to do with the xml-code for the com1-com2 selector in the audiopanel(Throttle3 and 4 Full).Well........??????????Janhttp://community.webshots.com/storage/1/v4...75aouncN_th.jpg Jan "Beatus ille qui procul negotiis..."
March 15, 200323 yr >Has probably to do with the xml-code for the com1-com2 >selector in the audiopanel(Throttle3 and 4 Full). >Well........?????????? That is exactly right. I never paid much attention to which a/c you were building this for, but sadly this "fix" won't work with 4 engine a/c (jet or prop) simply because of using those k_events for the translation...Someone clever will need to create a new K_event.gau that uses other k_events as 'triggers' for the COM1_SELECT, etc. events... :(For the same reason, the XML_Sounds.gau cannot be used in a Concorde project (since the translating events used are for the "Concorde Nose/Visor extend/retract" events...Sorry about the confusion and the dead end...
