Updated electrical system ...instrument light output normalized
Added OSG hotspots to most instruments ... more to go yet
PLIB hotspots temporarily broken ..need to resize panel to avoid whiteouts...
(a waste of time ) but some still use PLIB , so needs to be fixed ... ;)
Updated KFC200 ALTITUDE mode ... sets pitch hold until selected altitude is captured ... pitch controlled by switch on controller...
KNS 80 nav radio can store 1 selected radial per stored frequency ... stored distance will come when I understand RNAV better...
More instruments underway....
Aligned hotspots...
Moved kfc200.nas to Instruments-3d where it belongs...
Redoing the kfc200 flightdirector with newer functions (setlisteners) ...still in progress
Updated radios to change standby frequencies instead of selected frequencies....
Updated CitationX autopilot....
Autopilot is in flightdirector mode by default...
Until instruments are created , enable autopilot by setting "/autopilot/locks/passive-mode" to false
This patch makes the pa24 changes to use the mag.sw from Instruments 3d.
Changed the mag_switch.ac to include the pick rectangles and the
mags.xml to use the pick automation. Also includes the edits to
pa28-161.xml and pa28-161-set.xml to use the 3d radio stack.
Changes:
1. remove typo from all the /Systems/KAP140.xml files
2. changes to put radio_stack in Instruments-3d
3. Add "pick" to vor, alt, hi, in Instruments-3d
4. changes to pa24-250 and pa28-161 to use 2 and 3.
5. add "pick" and "2d text in window" in 3d OAT in pa24-250
I did some more work on the pa24-250 over the holidays.
1. Used nasal to emulate egt performance very similar to the real AC.
2. Changed the airspeed so the pressure altitude/temperature correction
ring for true airspeed works.
3. Modeled the OAT after the battery powered OAT in the real AC.
one left click on the "hot spot" displays OAT in C
2nd left click displacs OAT in F
3rd left click is off
times out after 5 min and turns off (to save battery)
4. Other 3d clean-up
I missed a few things in the last patch.
1. prop size did not match prop disc size.
2. rescaled yoke to match measured yoke.
3. messed up hot spots for heading indicator knobs when I tweaked the
panel last patch.
The fix that could not wait was #3, so I also re-textured the pilot head
with outdoor face photos. Yep, that's my face. The hair is now
textured also which looks better close up.
