Premium overheadpanel Zibo B737-800x

#1 Post by LSZB67 »

First of all, thank you very much for the excellent work on the ZIBO B7373-800X !

Until ZIBO 737-800X version 3.40_27 all the switches and buttons on a networked PC in the overheadpanel from siminnovations (Air Manager) worked well. I'm using the latest drivers from Airmanager Windows desktop version.

From the ZIBO_ Boeing B737-800X version 3.41_rc1 until version 3.41_rc2.3 the switches on the overheadpanel from Airmanager work partially:

By clicking on the switches in the overheadpanel from Airmanager I can hear the click sound but the position of the switches do not change. To check the functioning, i opened the overheadpanel from the aircraft, and there the switches change their correct position.

Can you help me with that new Issue?

Best regards Pasquale

Have you also tried with last 3_41 Full as a standalone package which is sufficient by itself (no additional action or fix for it for the moment) ?

We don't support the Zibo intermediate versions, only the full releases. They publish an update almost any day, it's impossible to keep track for us, and it might very well be a bug in their release.

Having the same problem and difficulty solving. Suspecting recent updates of Zibo and also possibly AirManager. Some toggle switches (double throw) like logo, anti collision, wing, and wheel well lights work well. Three way knob switches do not. Flight and landing altitude set rotaries work, including displays. Landing light and engine start switches inoperable. Please let me know if your recent upgrade could have affected these & other functions. If not, I’ll pursue with the Zibo folks. Thanks Russ!

Could you enumerates which switches and knobs are problematic trough an exhaustive list, together with some sample of behavior ?

In order to make link between forums for troubleshooting :

I guess the LUA to C++ transition is not yet ended and Zibo has still to make some adjustments to recover the same working situation and behavior as in previous releases

Gilles,

I’ll try to create a spreadsheet with the data you requested. It’s a bit complex as the behavior varies depending on the switch and switch type. As you know there are many switches, knobs and buttons on the OHP.

Agree John,
and as we can see, even before LUA to C++ transition, some of the features are not already there and only "simulated" (ANNUNCIATORS with dark state)
