propeller pitch stops for constant speed propellers. The default
values are the same as the previous hard-coded values. The new
attributes, "fine-stop" and "coarse-stop", are documented in the base
package, Docs/README.yasim.
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!
- always disable tutorial-stop; enable tutorial-start if tutorial available
- don't call the tutorial selector "Wizard 1/2". There is only one tutorial
selector, the next dialog is already part of the tutorial. Also, the dialogs
don't guide you through multi-dialog setup, which is what "wizards" normally
stand for.
- use tutorial name as dialog title
- set button shortcuts (default == return, esc)
- make esc go back to select dialog
- beautify sliders & some other tweaks
Here are the latest updates.
- Most of the changes involve moving instruments / animation / hotspot files
to instruments-3d.
- Some re-texturing.
- Finished Aerostar gear animation.
- I tried adding a LONG variable to the nav radio property tree,
but the conversion kept coming out wrong. Multiplying frequencies
by 100 and outputing that to another DOUBLE worked, but I cant find
the Comm frequencies property updating for the life of me ..... oh
well Nasal works.
not only more consistent, but also makes the autopilot dialog act more like
the real device). Add a few rules. Move the checkboxes to the left, as it's
usually done in GUIs for switches that enable/disable a group of widgets.
leave edit field!, press <Return> to execute; as an example try
screen.log.write("hello world"), or f16.canopy.open() in the F16,
or bo105.doors[3].move(0.3) in the Bo105 etc.
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.
