Hi All:I've seen that when you add, the Lee's TCAS System to the plane (No ISG nor other) I does not work, just show TCAS on the VSI.Having seen the Panel.Cfg for SP77basic and SP177basic, I saw that you can choose betwen mechanical VSI and TCAS, but the System gauge for it was just not added.A solution to It is add the nex line (ONLY IF YOU HAVE CHOSEN THE TCAS VARIATION OF THE BASIC PANEL AND UNDASSHED THE CORRECT LINES!!!)To the [Window00] Section at the endgauge67=ILH_TCAS!Logic, 0, 0, 1, 1This line do not add the specific Transponder Gauge to the radio panel, but make it work.Bob your Panel is Great, great job! Thanks a lot

Hi all:I am writing here since this is the biggest FS comunitiy I know.This is my problem, I have been trying to contact whit Simscape trought all means, after I purschased a product from them, but I have no response.So I would ask if someone who has contact whit them can put me on contact, this is because I am afraid that as in their website says, mi ISP is bloking them, and since I have no other means that the ones already tested, I request here.Thanks a lot to everyone.Helio Alberto Regalado Moreira

I've chanced the code to !3d! as you told my, and even to !3.0f! but yet I can't get mothing more than a 0.So what could be wrong then?, is the tipe o unit used on the parameter?How could I know what data is behaind any parameter?Here is my code now:%(A:NAV1 LOCALIZER, degrees)%!3d!Thanks a lot for the ideas

Hi All:I am trying to make a gauge that gives my the Course of an ILS (or LLZ).I've tryed whit the NAV 1 LOCALIZER parameter which in the Parameters.doc on Panels SDK is descripted as "Localizer course heading"The idea is that when you select an ILS and it becomes alive, this gauge gives my the Course of the Localizer, for example on PHNL, for RW26L, I want the course of IEPC which is 314, so I could then star to make a gauge that auto set the OBS to the ILS Course.Here is my test code for the moment, I only get a 1 as a response, and I don't Know what could be wrong.%(A:NAV 1 LOCALIZER, degrees)%!s!Yes, it was done ona clock background just by now.Thanks a lot for your help.Helio Regalado

You mean programing the runway whit SCASM manually?, up or below the code?How is the resample tool tecnic? mi column width and row height (on 512 x 512 pixel BMP) acording to FSArquitect is 1945 x 1945I have all the coordinated necesary (or the chance to get the coordinates easily)

Thanks a lot for the Answer.But How exactly do I create a Hole on the Texture? (for the PAPI I set full black alpha channel, but even so, the PAPI flicks irregulary)I've seen Colaiports SPIM (lima), which is payware, I think they use the same tecnic, but the XML Scenery shows above Photoscenery, so Lights are correctly Shown.Thanks again for the promp reply

Hi All:I have been using the FSArquitec program, from pouksim, which now is free.(or donationware)It have an option to create Photo Texture Grid that alows to have a background imagen, as a ground texture, so if you have a satelite photo or an aereal photo you can put ir easily on FS as a pohotreal texture.But even when I have set the proper alpha channel for the file, (where I set full black to the area where I don't want the imagen replicated on the FS, light grey where I want a semitransparent area basically for the taxyways and runways, and full white for the areas where I want the photo to be shown fully.When I compile the scenery using SCASM (or even FreeSC) the photo texture for the airport show perfect, but the PAPI or the runway lights at night seem to be below the photo texture, or not on the same intensity that the one set, or even flicks when on aproach.I have tried to set the Photo Terrain Grid, in all the layers (1,2 4, 8, 24) posible, but I have no change.The Runway and the PAPI Lights are codified trought the AFCAD on a diferent BGL.I Copy now the SCASM Code for the textures, the BMPS are 16 bit whit alpha (no mipsmaps, 4444 format).; Generated by FS Architect; Version 4.1 build 02; Thursday August 30, 2007; Hand editing this file will not change the Architect document ; from which it was assembled.

Bob:Hi, my name is Helio Alberto Regalado Moreira, and in the name of Aerolineas Argentinas Virtual, we wanted to thank you for the outstanding job.We also wanted to share you a modified BMP that adds the TCAS.If your are intereset please tell my how to send this BMP to you.(note image has been croped)http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/155245.jpgBAsically we modified your BMP to add the TCAS Frame, and then use the non framed gauge, also we added (but doesn't looks the same) the Transponder of the TCAS.IF your are interested please send my a e-mail to regalado12345 AT hotmail DOT com

I offer myself for translating the manual to the Spanish lenguage please contact me at regalado12345 @ hotmail.com

Hi:I did not take in advise that the code whas actualy the same (but as you said explained).My problem is that when landing in crosswinds I usualy forget (due to the workload) to disconect the A/TH before land, and that makes trouble becose I start to slow down,but A/TH (usualy Speed mode active) makes that engines run at full power to compensate that.Then I wanted to make a gauge that when the aircraft touch the ground auto-disconects the A/TH, and so, every speed active mode.At the present moment(thanks to your explanation and the examples codes given) I have change the logic of the gauge, in order just to disable at a certain Rad_Alt (A:RADIO_HEIGHT,foot) the Speed Mode (keeps A/TH armed just in Go-Arround Sceneryo)This is my code now: (A:RADIO_HEIGHT,foot) 51 < (A:AUTOPILOT_AIRSPEED_HOLD,bool) and if{ (>K:AP_PANEL_SPEED_HOLD) } Sadly It does not work (and don't know why)Thanks for your AnswersHelio Alberto Regalado Moreira

Hi Tom:The Idea of the gauge is that auto-arm/disarm the A/TH, in this logic:When take-off and pass 100 ft, auto-arm A/TH (later on I will select Speed o Mach -no auto TO/GA available).When Landing, if the plane touchdown (SIM on Ground) it dis-arms the A/TH (and whit that the Speed mode selected disconets).An option that I have been thinking is to replace the SIM_ON_GROUND event, whit something like Rad_Alt is less than 50ft auto-disarm the A/TH.

Roelof:I have tried your code, I works on the fact It does discconect the A/TH when aircfraft lands on the ground, but it does not reconect it when airborne.Also I added to your code (in bounce case :( ), that when Rad_alt is equal or more than 100ft, It connects A/TH, but as said it does not connect.Thanks for your replysCode: (A:SIM ON GROUND,bool) if{ (A:Autopilot throttle arm,bool) if{ (>K:AUTO_THROTTLE_ARM,bool) } els{ (A:Autopilot throttle arm,bool) 0 == if{ (A:RADIO_HEIGHT,foot) 100 >= if{ (>K:AUTO_THROTTLE_ARM) } } }

Hi Everyone:I've been trying to make a gauge tha disconects de Auto Throttle when the aircraft is on groung, but as sooner as it leaves the ground It reactivates the A/TH again (and keeps it active when Flying)I have tried to make a Gauge, but it does not work. if{ (A:SIM ON GROUND,bool) 1 == if{ 0 (>A:AUTOPILOT_AUTO_THROTTLE_ARM,bool) } } els{ 1 (>A:AUTOPILOT_AUTO_THROTTLE_ARM,bool) } If any oe can help my to figure this out, I'll be very happy.Thanks for your answers

Hi:I have edite a LWM for 2 airports on peru, in order to make these lines to desapear.My proyect is to adjust the position and altitude of some aiports in Peru.When editing i found that when i created a LWM in Ground2k4 over a default LWM Poly it did not adjusted the altitude of the other.So useing LWMViewer 2 i changed the altitude of that to mesh-cling and saved the source which latter I recompiled whit BGLcomp.Whe seeing those airports the file was Ok, but on the other airports of the FLxxxxx.bgl, seamed no to be active for the FS, inded was like all the other Flatens in that file where set to mesh-cling, making that some runways float over the air.Am I doing anything wrong?What is the procedure to edit (whit LWMViewer 2 o LWMViewer1) the defauls Flattens?Thanks a lot for your answers

Hi:I managed to solve the problem.What has to be done is to set the lines in layer 16, whit a texture, not a color, and must be an a round number for the whit.So I set the line in layer 16, set 1mt wide, and to a texture who has a blank color.Thanks a lot for reading my postHelio Alberto Regalado Moreira

Hi:I am trying to make the markings that a parking position has useing as a gide the image i could take from google earth.What I made was to draw a line, whit a texture called blanco (which is no more that an BMP 8bits, of 32, 32 px totally white, of 0,8mts wide.The drawing process was ok, and in FSSC you can see this:http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/134464.jpgBut when I start FS2004, the line is not been actually drawn on the ground:http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/134465.jpgAny ideas?Thanks a lot for your helpHelio Alberto Regalado Moreira

Hi Arno:I found that to FSSC (or SCASM i guess) doesnt cares the layer if you overlaped to taxiways, and then make the rounded part whit poligons, so what I finally done was to delete de asphalt taxiways and put in reemplacement a poligone whit asphalt texture, and of course seting a lower layer than the concrete ones.Haveing done that the problem was workaround, and now it shows as should be, whit the asphalt as a bottom, and the concrete (whit the rounded connections) up of the asphalt (where needed).What also called my attention is the fact that the concrete textures for the poligons are much more brighter than the ones for the taxiways, even when they use the same texture file, is that normal?Anyway, whit your help the problem was solved, and now the scenery shows as should be, and also learned something new.Thanks a lot, your help is really aprreciated.Helio Alberto Regalado Moreira

How is that?I have the taxiways and polygons of asphalt which layer is set as no LayeringThe poligons for the concrete and the concrete taxiways as layer 16 (road/taxyway).But when I complile some times it shows the concrete over (only the taxiways not the poligons) the asphalt, and the most of the times, It shows the asphalt over the concrete (the concrete doesnt show at all).What you tell my is to asign diferents layers, of so how should I assign the (which numbers)?The layerings are:No Layering.4 Mesh8 Poligon12 River16 road/taxiway20 Line24 runway28 Mountain32 Crater40 Ground Element60 ShadowIf so (if not I wthink I have to modify the layer by hand on the scn file) what layers numbers should I apply?This time I have attached the SCN (in plain text format), becose it does not show as I wanted to be shown, and also becose whit the SCN file you can help my a lot more.Thanks for your reply, and Help

Hi I wanted to know if is possible to overlap taxyways in FSSC and hoy to make it workThe whole idea is to have taxyways of 2 materiales, (for the borders asphalt and for the "center" concrete.What I've done is to draw first an taxyway of afphalt and latter on an taxyway (much smaller) of concrete, on the FSSC it shows as it should be, but on the FS there is no result, as the asphalt will show only (not the concrete in the center.I've attached an image of FSSC to let you know my idea.The scenery will be SPIM, Jorge Chavez Int in peru.Thanks for your help!!Helio Alberto Regalado Moreira

Hi Jan:Thanks a lot for the Keys, I didnt found them on FS2004 SDK.Now cames the important question:How can I in the same click, to use both keys?Firts click:(>K:DECREASE_CONCORDE_NOSE_VISOR_FULLY)Second Click (on the same area):(>K:INCREASE_CONCORDE_NOSE_VISOR_FULLY)So on the same area of the mouse section I have booth secuences?

Hi:I wanted to know how, bya the mouse click section I change the state of this values:CONCORDE_VISOR_NOSE_HANDLE (Floating Point Number, Values are: 0

Perhaps one of the only parts that work 90% correct are the visible part (they can work 100% correct if the logic works), and I use that method becose I have 3 bitmaps, one for all off, one for inboard lights on only, and the 3rd for all on.Tha idea in the vaule sections are this one:(G:Tail,bool) 1 == if{ (A:Light landing,bool) 1 == if{ 0 (>K:TOGGLE_TAIL_HOOK_HANDLE)} els { 0 (>K:LANDING_LIGHTS_TOGGLE) 0 (>K:TOGGLE_TAIL_HOOK_HANDLE)}}For this part in pseudocode will be like this:If G:Tail = 1 then: if Landing Light = 1 (on) then Toggle Tailhook (tailhook down as outboard lights) else (landing lights = 0 -off) Toggle Tailhook (set tailhook down as outboard lights) Toggle Landing Lights (to turn imboard lights on) end ifend ifFor the second value will be this:(G:Tail,bool) 0 == (A:TAILHOOK POSITION,bool) 1 == if { 0 (>K:TOGGLE_TAIL_HOOK_HANDLE)}and the pseudocode:if G:Tail = 0 (outboard off) and Tailhook = 1 (down) then: Toggle Tailhook (set tailhook up)end ifthe 3rd value section (which is more a check for the tailhook (in case we click directly in the landing light area becose clik there means all off):(A:Light landing,bool) 0 == (A:TAILHOOK POSITION,bool) 1 == if { 0 (>K:TOGGLE_TAIL_HOOK_HANDLE)}Pseudocode:If Landing Lights = 1 (on) and Tailhook = 1 (down) then: Toggle Tailhook (set tailhook up)End ifI have attached the files of the proyect (my idea is that makeing this basic, I can do it or extend it to another type as Ariane Logic -which uses for outboard landing lights the "Concorde Extend or retract visof fully"-)Hope the explanation of why this was coded this way and hope you could find the way round.By the way, the false Help_Id where going to be changed in the future ;)Helio Alberto Regalado Moreira
