Air Manager Panel for Leonardo Maddog X MSFS

[Puukka]

I just think about creating a main panel for the great Leonardo MD-80….did someone work on that before?
X-Plane, P3D or MSFS?
Thanks and regards,
Herbert

I think that would be a great project, especially if designed to work with both Leonarodo and Rotate MD-80s.

I have converted some of generic instruments to work with the Rotate MD-80 in X-Plane. The instruments are not the same but they did the job. Having Left/Right, Center, Overhead and Pedestal panels for MD-80 would be a great omage to this great aircraft. And many of the instruments could be reused in DC-9 and DC-8 projects.

Thanks for the info Serge! I‘ll keep you updated when I start the project.

Here´s my first Alpha version of the MD-80 for the Leonardo Maddog X MSFS, including instruments for basic Normal Procedures.....
Anyone knows how to read EGT and EPR?

The regular EGT variable isn't usable?

Hi Ralph

Would be great if someone could help me here:

It´s the first tme I touch gauges of a plane, so there might be tricks to get them right.
When I use this format the lvar values of N1 and N2 are nicely corresponding with the values shown:

--N1L
rotate(img_needle_N11, 225)
txt_N1L = txt_add("00", "size:25px; color: #CCFF00; halign:right;", 35, 326, 120, 40)

function new_N11(N11)
N1L = var_cap(N11[1], 0, 100)
rotate(img_needle_N11, 240 / 100 * N1L + 225)
N1L = var_round(N1L, 1)
txt_set(txt_N1L, N1L)
end

function new_N1L_cb(n11)
new_N11({n11})
txt_set(txt_N1L, string.format("%3.00f",N1L))

end
fs2020_variable_subscribe("L:md_n11_rpm_percent", "Percent", new_N1L_cb)

But at the EPR and EGT gauges there are different values shown as the lvar is sending.

As you can see at the screenshots the original EGT Lvar value at idle throttle is 562 degrees but at the plane it should show 376 degrees.

Can I show a different text as the original Lvar value?
I´m sorry to say I don´t understand how I can interpolate the gauge to show different values and range.
Could someone maybe write an example using my original EGT code?

--EGT1
rotate(img_needle_EGT1, 225)
txt_EGTL = txt_add("00", "size:25px; color: #CCFF00; halign:right;", 35, 459, 120, 40)

function new_EGT1(EGT1)
EGTL = var_cap(EGT1[1], 0, 1000)
rotate(img_needle_EGT1, 240 / 1000 * EGTL + 225)
EGTL = var_round(EGTL, 1)
txt_set(txt_EGTL, EGTL)
end

function new_EGTL_cb(egt1)
new_EGT1({egt1})
txt_set(txt_EGTL, string.format("%03.00f",EGTL))
end
fs2020_variable_subscribe("ENG EXHAUST GAS TEMPERATURE:1", "Celsius", new_EGTL_cb)

Maybe this can be useful?

Just finished some bells and whistles, the EPR is still a mystery even Tony helped me a lot, maybe not really correlating with the ENG PRESSURE RATIO variable. Its decreasing by increasing altitude at my plane, while at the Sim its´s stable.

Ah still struggling to find that EPR relationship. The answer is there somewhere.

Did you have any luck, I am having the same problem
