Apologies if I am being really dumb. I upgraded to Version 4.2.8 today on my Windows machine and all is fine except that when I click on Create/Edit tab, it shows all my instruments but will not display the window for writing or editing together with the window for consoles and subscriptions. I upgr...

Dear Joe, Many thanks; I have been experiencing some very odd events lately. i have been using the switches for over a year with no problem so not sure what has changed. Anyway I modified the system to add pull down resistors (which swapped the polarity of all switches so the software had to be modi...

Would you mind explaining how the expression count%2 == 0 works? The 'visible' function is looking for true or false to determine whether the image is displayed or not. The timer starts with no delay and repeats every 500 milliseconds. Please explain how the 'count%2 == 0' expression is evaluated. t...

Arduino recommends having pull down or pull up resistors for switches as the state of digital pins may "float" between 0 and 1 without them. I think some Arduino boards may have built in pull down or up resistors on digital pins. In Air Manager advice, it says that switches can be connecte...

Hi Ralph,
Absolutely brilliant. Works a treat.

Can't thank you enough.

best wishes

The X-Plane 12 Lancair Evolution requires that the starter button is held until the fuel ignites enough to take over from the starter motor. There are commands such as "sim/ignition/engage_starter_1" and datarefs such as "sim/cockpit2/engine/actuators/ignition_key" which is an IN...

I am running X-Plane 12 and have the Thranda Cessna 208 Caravan. I have developed an Air Manager instrument to show the CAS Warning lights. Joseph Noe from Thranda has kindly told me that they work on the data_ref "thranda/TCAS/AnnLtA" which is FLOAT [400]. I can see them operating fine in...

Thank you to everyone for your comments. It is very interesting to read about bit-wise manipulation but I don't want to get down to that level of detail. I have got it working by using the other datarefs like heading mode, approach mode, glide slope mode etc and I just need to fully test it and fine...

Trying to learn from the experts. I find this code in an autopilot instrument and I need to understand what it is doing: visible(img_alert, alert_on and gbl_power and not ((autopilot_state >> 4) & 1 == 1) ) The img_alert.png will turn on or off based on the tests. Please explain what ((autopilot...

The Thranda Cessna 208 Caravan has the Bendix King KFC 225 Autopilot. I cannot find that in Air Manager down loads so I have tried using the KAP 140 and amending it but it is proving beyond my minimal capabilities. I wonder if anyone already has the KFC225 for Air Manager and would not mind letting ...
