7e0a45c798 Tooltips and knobs for the C172P.
This is proof of concept, not a complete conversion.

b1dc60ae24 From Dave Perry:
Changes deflection input variables to match nasal lowpass filter
output for cdi and gs needle deflections.  I did a search of the
data/Aircraft to make sure this will not break other ac.

c57bfe7832 Dave Perry: parks gs needle when gs out of range, yoke-pa24 animation change to accommodate ap/joystick inputs 2009-11-08 18:51:39 +00:00

69edaea2f4 Dave Perry:
Added GS out of range flag to Instruments-3d/vor.

Century III upgrades
 1.  Implemented the two 20 sec checks for GS arm documented in the autopilot POH page 30.
 2.  Fixed bug that made GS capture not work if the ALT switch was turned off for a few moments to do a step-down approach.

4678f67cb2 Initial work on standardising glideslope needle behaviour in aircraft. C172P works (including KAP140 APPR capture), and Primus-1000 based aircraft display correctly. 2009-09-09 10:49:36 +00:00

25e3db0bd1 Update from Dave Perry:
1. Added a pilot.

2. Cleaned up the panel, added a working park brake lever, added the
remaining placards, added "materials lighting for the remaining
switches and knobs tied to the nave light switch.

3. Doubled the resolution of the transparent rgb, added propdisc spin,
and realigned all in the ac file so the spin was concentric.

61eef54dac Changes from Dave Perry:
I put 3 patches and a sound file in this tar.  The c172p... patch
removes an unnecessary patch I submitted to the c172p.  It has no affect
on performance.  The Instruments-3d... patch adds a working skid ball to
the tc and switches the vor xmls to using params so it is easier to
edit.  It also constrains the glide-slope needle to -32 to 32 degrees.
The pa24-250... patch fixes an edit error (corrects a misnamed switch
"click", no change in performance) and adds a "squish" sound to the
primer pump action.

5da3e4c18b Changes from Dave Perry:
Here is a patch that included the changes in my 2/22/06 posting plus the
3d-instrument light "emission" animations.  I also added a magnetic
compas mount and moved it forward and down to better match the real ac
and make it easier to read when adjusting the hi.  Ignore the "?" flaged
files at the beginning.  none are required.  I noticed that there is a
backup copy of pa24-250.ac in the pa24-250 folder in cvs.  It can be
deleted.  The only copy of that file required is in pa24-25/Models.

I "flew" a shake down instrument XC from 2v2 (Longmont, CO) to KLVN
(Airlake, just south of Minneapolis, MN).  Even the fuel management is
realistic.  The autopilot on the menu bar works well.  Give the changes
a try and enjoy!

be1a0a1c9e I made a minor change to one file in the c172p that accommodates a
feature I added to the navcom-kx155.xml and the dme.xml in the
Instruments folder.  I wanted to leave the frequencies, etc. on these
dark until there was voltage applied to
/systems/electrical/outputs/nav.  This was accomplished by adding a
param and property alias  pointing to the appropriate value.  Since the
c172p "always" applies 28 volts, this made no change in the c172p, but
allowed me to model the avionics master and battery master realisticly
in pa24-electrical.nas.  I put in comments explaining this at the change
points.

There is a useful  "help > aircraft help" that walks you through the
start procedure and lists the key bindings as well as the key to "light
up" the hot spots.

I have modeled N7764P, the comanche 250 I co-own with 2 other Seagate engineers.
In the process of doing this model, I have also improved, worked on, or added
instruments, etc. to Instruments-3d.

* I fixed the adf so the azimuth card is tied to the correct property
* Added TO, From, and out-of range indicators to the 3d vor.
* Also added a manifold pressure gage and a pa24-250 asi (using digital photos
  of the actual asi as the starting textures.

Affects on other AC.  As far as I know, this will add to-from to the vor and
correct the adf behavior for pa28-161.  It would be a trivial edit to the
pa28-161.xml to give the same vor performance to that AC.
Now both VORs act as one.

789560ea22 Roy Vegard Ovesen:
I've finished the emigration of the radiostack, and I've also removed it
completely. It turned out that the comm radio is completely implemented in
the ATC subsystem. I've changed the affected ATC files to point
to /instrumentation/com, but I guess that the maintainer of the ATC code
should decide wether to make it configureable, and how.

I also had to change some files in Network and Main. The changes in network
should be obvious, but the changes in Main were a bit suspect. The files
included radiostack.hxx, but they weren't directly depending on
radiostack-hxx. They were depending on other files that were included by
radiostack.hxx. I got it to compile, but I'm not sure if I included the
correct directly depending file.

For the data directory I changed every occurrence of /radios/
with /instrumentation/ with this simple one-liner that I found on the net:

find -name '*.xml' -type f | xargs perl -pi -e
's/\/radios\//\/instrumentation\//g'

Instead of me sending all the files that got changed by this I suggest that
you execute the one-liner yourself. Of course I can not guarantee that this
will work perfectly, but I considered hand editing to be not an option (I'm
lazy). I don't want to test every aircraft to see if everything still works,
I think it's better to wait and see if anyone complaints about broken nav
radios/instruments.

779116ab4f Lower the resolution of the textures (they were gratuitously high,
sometimes up to 512x512).

cb2acf8724 The VOR head is now mostly functional: the needles and the outer ring
move properly, but the flags are not yet implemented.  Currently, the
head is hardwired to the NAV1 radio.

1f580c8abc Start on some basic 3D panel instruments. For now, just reuse
textures that are already sitting around for the 2D panel.

Many of the instruments are not yet functional.
