Hello all,

I use for P3D a two monitor setup. On the main screen I have my 3D cockpit and on the second screen I have the PFD, ND and engine display. Would it be possible to create a 2D popup window with the flap and gear indicator?

Best regards

Julian Reich

Yes it is. All the windows in the 737NGXu are popups except the Main_Panel of course. So just use one of them as a template. Dont have the NGX so im not sure if there are gauges that you can use. Im assuming it does since it has a 2D panel. I had to code my own in The NGXu.

Cheers,

Believe these are the failures you are looking for:

SYSTEM_ENGINE,
SYSTEM_PITOT_STATIC,
SYSTEM_VACUUM, SYSTEM_ELECTRICAL_PANELS,
SYSTEM_ELECTRICAL_AVIONICS, GAUGE_ADF, GAUGE_AIRSPEED,
GAUGE_ALTIMETER,
GAUGE_ATTITUDE,
GAUGE_COMMUNICATIONS, // Used for COM1
GAUGE_FUEL_INDICATORS,
GAUGE_GYRO_HEADING,
GAUGE_MAGNETIC_COMPASS,
GAUGE_NAVIGATION_VOR1, // only vor1
GAUGE_NAVIGATION_VOR2, // only vor2
GAUGE_TRANSPONDER,
GAUGE_TURN_COORDINATOR,
GAUGE_VERTICAL_SPEED, GAUGE_COMMUNICATIONS_COM2, // Used for COM2

So basicly the magic is " ipc.elapsedtime() ", am I right?

Thanks for the help

Yes, you rotary speed has to compare the turning speed to something. You can adjust that of course by adjusting the 175 in the line if (HDG_INC_TIME - hdg_inc) < 175 then

And no problem!

July 23, 2020

Sorry this is late but here is what I programmed in the PMDG module for rotary speed. This is my heading rotary:

This is also assuming your rotary encoder is set up as a button press for increase and a button press for decrease.

Added Variables:

//////////////////////////////////////////////

local hdg_inc = 0
local hdg_dec = 0

functions:

//////////////////////////////////////

function HDG_INC()

HDG_INC_TIME = ipc.elapsedtime()
if mcp_hdg_mode == 1 then

if (HDG_INC_TIME - hdg_inc) < 175 then
local i
for i = 1, 4 do ipc.control(PMDGBaseVar+390, PMDG_inc) end
else
ipc.control(PMDGBaseVar+390, PMDG_inc)
end

else
NGX_AP_BANK_inc()
end

NGX_AP_HDG_show()
hdg_inc = HDG_INC_TIME

end

function HDG_DEC()

HDG_DEC_TIME = ipc.elapsedtime()
if mcp_hdg_mode == 1 then

if (HDG_DEC_TIME - hdg_dec) < 175 then
local i
for i = 1, 4 do ipc.control(PMDGBaseVar+390, PMDG_dec) end
else
ipc.control(PMDGBaseVar+390, PMDG_dec)
end

else
NGX_AP_BANK_dec()
end

NGX_AP_HDG_show()
hdg_dec = HDG_DEC_TIME

end

Hope this sends you in right direction,

Chris

no problem.

-800 is the exact same checklist as the -700

Kevin,

Message me your email

Alex,

Yes that is the current one for -700

Regards,

September 19, 2016

I can get you check lists for SWA. Which ones you need?? The normal checklist you have is the most current one though.

Regards,

Chris

July 16, 2015

Mark,

I entered it wrong. But turns out its not the function I needed for making course and fine adjustments on a encoder in linda. Did this instead:

function HDG_INC()

HDG_INC_TIME = ipc.elapsedtime()

if mcp_hdg_mode == 1 then

if (HDG_INC_TIME - Hdg_inc) < 150 then

local i

for i = 1, 4 do ipc.control(70022, 16384) end

else

ipc.control(70022, 16384)

end

else

NGX_AP_BANK_inc()

end

NGX_AP_HDG_show()

Hdg_inc = HDG_INC_TIME

end

function HDG_DEC()

HDG_DEC_TIME = ipc.elapsedtime()

if mcp_hdg_mode == 1 then

if (HDG_DEC_TIME - Hdg_dec) < 150 then

local i

for i = 1, 4 do ipc.control(70022, 8192) end

else

ipc.control(70022, 8192)

end

else

NGX_AP_BANK_dec()

end

NGX_AP_HDG_show()

Hdg_dec = HDG_DEC_TIME

end

Mark,

Thanks for the input. I believe it did say function event not found. Not at the house for a couple days so wont be able to check. But I will update after I look it over real carefully.

Chris

July 10, 2015

Hello everyone,

Adding some stuff to a aircraft module and trying to use event.timer function from the event.lua. When I run linda it says event cannot be found.

Any ideas why it is not finding the function from the event.lua.

Thanks,

Hello everyone,

I am trying to send values from SimConnect to a usb device. I would like to send some bool values for example MCP_annunFD[0] and CDU_annunEXEC[0] to the usb device to set some lights. I really dont know were to start. Im using PIC18f4550 and programming in C. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Chris

NG has been in service since 1997. Dont recall one breaking up in the air due to third party frame parts. Maybe Airbus put this story out!

ACARS cannot send commands to the FMGS. I keep reading these articles and still cannot figure out what he is trying to prove? So he can hack into and read/send ACARS msg's, he even said himself that doing anything further is only theoretically possible.

Exaclty, ACRAS has no direct control over anything, only a messaging system.

Believe it is 304 radial from SAN

You can actually start the engine real life, on a -700 with both packs on. Takes a while, but the apu is very strong on the NG.

September 24, 2012

Ok, so apparently you cannot stack images with masks over each other and put them in the same element header. they must each have a seperate element header. Works good now!

September 21, 2012

Got overjoyed to quickly! The images show up as the are supposed too statically, but moving they are jumpy and disappear and reappear repeatedly. Not sure why.

September 20, 2012

Figured it out! Had IMAGE_CONTAINS_MASK listed in the draw flags when I didnt need one.

Chris

September 20, 2012

Ok I have a problem trying to use 2 MAKE_SPRITE images over each other with each having a mask. Im making a HUD and the problem is with my attitude card and my horizon line which goes over the attitude card. One is always blocked by the other no matter which order I list them in. They both use the same exact mask image, but each MAKE_SPRITE image of course has its own mask, Is there a way to have both images use only one mask so the masks dont overlap each other and block the other one out?

Thanks,

Chris

September 14, 2012

yea my tape range was 0-60 for one range and 61-450 for the other. I still ended up breaking the tape down to 0-60, 61-200, 201-300, 301-450 just to get better accuracy. When I left it at 61-450 I lost some accuracy at the end of the range.

Dai,

That was it. Appreciate all you help. Those non-linearity tables are a lot easier in xml! But were is the challenge in that!!!
