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.
