Good job. The more instruments available, the better!

Re: Panels Background Image

If you want to create realistic panel background, the best is to find a good picture of the real panel (not slanted nor distorted), and use it as a guide to place/draw all the instruments/layouts on top of it. This ensures that all the instruments are up to scale relative to each other. Then it will...

Re: fs200_rpn() examples

Phew... After numerous tries, I think I got it. The event is fired twice actually, once the button is pressed (value == true), and once the button is RELEASED (value == false). So we have to first fire the first variable_write, then ON release (second callback) we fire the second variable_write func...

Hello all. I have tried the following to activate the LS button on the Fenix A320 in MSFS, but no Cigar... fs2020_rpn("1 (>L:S_FCU_EFIS1_LS, Number) (SLEEP:100) 2 (>L:S_FCU_EFIS1_LS, Number)") The RPN script is allegedly working as is on Lorby's AXIS and OH here's an extract of the fnx320_...

Re: Help for a noob please....

1-What is the use of vs_counter in your code? It apparently does nothing but slowing the code. If you look at the examples here, there is no such piece of code. https://siminnovations.com/wiki/index.php?title=Hw_dial_add no need to add an elseif either. 2- The sound play() can be placed outside of t...

Re: Help for a noob please....

Vs_state needs to be declared as a global variable (ie accessible throughout the whole code), not as a local variable (only in the function) In Lua the « scope » (read visibility) of a variable is determined by the location of the first occurrence of a variable in the code. If it’s declared or used ...

Re: jSON Syntax for KnobXP

I am afraid that only commands can be used in the JSON file. But your datarefs can probably be replaced by the adequate XPl command instead, since the action you seem want to achieve is to set the parking brake, correct? { "name": "Parking Brake", "minor_cw_cmd": "...

Re: VORs with glideslope needle (AM 4.1)

“Hardcoded” is not really the term here IMHO. Merely “coded” instead, that means that you have access to the Lua code and this code can be amended/modified to suit your needs. Just a reminder: most of the instruments found on the Airmanager online store are freeware and made by the community. Meanin...

Re: VORs with glideslope needle (AM 4.1)

First your request seems a bit weird if I may… An ILS indicator is perfectly able to perform as VOR only if tuned to a VOR station. The GS needle will stay horizontal that’s it. For this reason, in real life the normal main indicator is the ILS on NAV1 and a (cheaper) VOR hooked on NAV2 as a backup,...

Re: DiY Motion simulator

Sometimes reinventing the wheel is not the best solutions.
There is open source motion platform software available on the Internet, tested and proved, which is the most important part. High speed and powerful actuators can hurt people really bad if not properly setup and used, never forget that.
