Hi,

ok it seems the rotorsim-ec135 doesn't have any data-refs for the displays of the copilot-side. What I would like to have instead of the ND and PFD on the copilot-side, is a big navigationdisplay with a moving street map.Something like this

On the wiki-site of air manager there is description for a moving map.

Unfortunately the map is still fixed to the location I've chosen by the latitude and longitude. How is it possible that this map is shown the exact location of the my heli in xplane? Could anyone please give me a short manual to fix this problem? I didn't find any tutorial to install a moving map to air manager.

Thank you very much !!!

Inspired on what we find in Online "Generic - GPS" from Sim Innovations :

Code: Select all

function new_position(latitude, longitude, heading)

    -- Set position on world map --
    map_goto(navmap, latitude, longitude)
    
    -- Rotate airplane icon to current heading --
    rotate(airplane_icon, heading)

end

xpl_dataref_subscribe("sim/flightmodel/position/latitude", "DOUBLE",
                      "sim/flightmodel/position/longitude", "DOUBLE", 
                      "sim/flightmodel/position/mag_psi", "FLOAT", new_position)

Hi,

In the community store there is a very basic map.
Search for "Aspen EDF 1000 GPS"

That is very basic but requires very little to get working.

BTW there are a few datarefs for the EC135 copilot.

here I have placed the aspen over the 3D panel just as an idea. You would need to make a bezel for it so that it looks nice.

So I just discovered these instruments and v5 of RotorSim’s EC135. Very impressive!

The ND doesn’t seem to be working for me at all. It does not rotate with change of heading.

And the PFD is often showing error flags. Am I using the wrong aircraft for this?

To all who worked on this, thank you! Such excellent work.

The instruments were made for the old version, back in the days of X-Plane 10. They haven't been updated.

Are you aware of an updated list of Commands for V5? I'm just doing some quick updates. I'd be more than happy to share the updated panels.

I think you'll have to search with the datareftool.

Try v4, which is available on the rotorsim page too. The flight model is a bit more twitchy and
it gets into a VRS very easy, however it's still a lot of fun.

I did some work on the VEMD, it's easier to read and more realistic than the online version.

Nice! Thanks for sharing. I'll have a look. I went through Plane Maker and found a few differences.

Has Tecmate and Amok been active on here recently at all? I wonder if we could get their permission to update the instruments for the community.
