GPU Drivers at first shot Keith.
You are not still really using a GTX 960 are you ?

Joe,

Yes I am. :(

But they say the 900 series should still work.
Minimum Hardware Requirements:
CPU: Intel Core i3, i5, i7, or i9 CPU with 4 or more cores, or AMD Ryzen 3, 5, 7 or 9. (Those with other CPUs should try the demo before purchasing.)
Memory: 8 GB RAM
Video Card: a Vulkan 1.3-capable video card from NVIDIA or AMD with at least 2 GB VRAM
If your system is borderline, we encourage you to try the demo first. The full version of the simulator will perform exactly the same as the demo—neither better nor worse


Supported Video Cards:
NVIDIA: NVIDIA GeForce 900 or newer, driver version 510 or newer
AMD: AMD Radeon RX 500 or newer, driver version Adrenaline 22.2.1or newer



Also looks like there are seperate datarefs for each cylinder. Will install DRT and check.

Just tested, and our current plugin works fine with X-plane 12.
Will create a new plugin installer BETA shortly. For now you can simply copy it.

Excellent on the plug in.

Also on the individual EGT. good start.

Are you on the latest drivers Keith ? - as you say, they say it should be ok.

If necessary download DDU
https://www.guru3d.com/files-details/di ... nload.html
Remove the old drivers in safe mode,
then you can let windows update them via windows update, or install manually. I would try windows update first.
Hope that helps, Joe

Corjan,

Looks like they have added some datarefs that use nested arrays from what i found when i did a quick search.

See if you can read from the following dataref. I couldn't get anything other than 0's. I can see the values in Dataref Tool and as Keith suggested they look like they've made this change so we now get temp's per cylinder.

"sim/cockpit2/engine/indicators/CHT_CYL_deg_C"

Dataref tool thinks its a FLOAT[192] but I found this on the xplane github. it seems this is a bit out of date as the 192 size would suggest its now float[16][12] which corresponds with the legacy single cylinder dataref that has jumped up from [8] to [16].

sim/cockpit2/engine/indicators/CHT_CYL_deg_C float[8][12] y degrees_C_or_F CHT, deg. Dataref label is wrong, units vary by plane. Up to 12 cylinders

Hopefully its not too much of a change to get these working. There is also a MSFS related plugin thing that is needed also but i'll jot down some notes about that and send you that separately.

Hi,

Tony, I played around a bit and cannot get AM to subscribe to a bunch of datarefs.
Using this code.

Code: Select all

xpl_dataref_subscribe("sim/cockpit2/engine/indicators/CHT_CYL_deg_C","FLOAT[192]",
                      "sim/cockpit2/engine/indicators/CHT_deg_C","FLOAT[16]",
					  "sim/flightmodel/engine/ENGN_CHT","FLOAT[16]",
					  "sim/flightmodel/engine/ENGN_CHT_c","FLOAT[16]",
					  "sim/cockpit2/engine/indicators/fuel_pressure_psi","FLOAT[16]",function(cht1,cht2,cht3,cht4,fp)
print(cht3)

end)
The AM viewer reports....

@Ralph @Corjan There are a whole bunch of instruments in the store that are incompatible with XP12. It might be that a flag would be necessary to indicate which ones are compatible. Most are because different datarefs are used and these new datarefs do not subscribe.
