Accessories / @Gary - bug in Planning portal...
Last post by Aleks - Sun, 19 May 2024 21:32I was investigating why Simbrief is throwing back all the time "PAYLOAD/CARGO LIMITED BY MZFW".
I captured the API call from your site to Simbrief and I think the culprit might be that you are instructing the Simbrief that weights are in kilograms (Units=KGS), yet API call sends some weights in lb. At least I think that OEW of 373.575 is in lb?
I also see that Boeing gives 361,600 lbs (164,020 kg) - https://www.boeing.com/content/dam/boeing/boeingdotcom/company/about_bca/startup/pdf/freighters/747-400f.pdf
I can see that each API call has different cargo weight, so your site is correctly sending random cargo, but seems kg vs lbs is throwing Simbrief off.
This is for Cargolux 747F.
Attached are two API calls (I removed API key, etc.)

Accessories / Re: PSXseecon version 3.23 rel...
Last post by b744erf - Sun, 19 May 2024 18:31Hello Nico
I am building a standby IAS indicator, which need to read the IAS data. And I just search all the variants that PSXseecon provides. I can't find one match the IAS data, except a Qi131 name "Ias". But it is just a IAS data at first connection. It won't change during the flight. I think the data from Qs483 name " MiscFltData" is the one I need. Would you please add this variable? That would be wonderful if I could drive my Standby IAS Ind with SIOC and PSXseecon~!
. Thank you very much.
Regards
Jack

Accessories / Another StreamDeck profile
Last post by Will - Sun, 19 May 2024 17:37Here's another StreamDeck profile, just to put some other ideas out there.
A couple of points... first, I've got a good mix of peripheral controllers, so I wasn't trying to put every possible command on the StreamDeck, just some things that keep me from having to reach for the mouse or the keyboard at busy times. Also, I have everything mainly on one page(*), because flipping through various pages is a little bit of extra work that sometimes makes things seem a bit busy.
The white/green buttons on the upper left are for controlling the views (layouts). The two green ones (HOME and HAND FLYING) are the ones I use for most things. The center column in this section (OVHD, HOME, CNTR PDSTL) are top-to-bottom from the overhead, to the captain's view, to the center aisle pedestal.
The nine blue buttons in the upper right are for MCP controls, and I think are self-explanatory. I put them top-to-bottom in order of how frequently I use them, heading controls on top.
The "Boeing brown" buttons and the green A/P button are MCP switches.
For future expansion, if someone ends up making an app that lets the StreamDeck send Qvars into PSX, then I would add a button for entering/leaving the runway that does things like packs, landing lights, strobes, and TCAS. I still have to the the mouse for those at the moment.

*) "EICAS PLUS" and "EFIS" open new pages with additional controls, but either I use these rarely, or else I find it easier just to use the mouse for these, so the these two StreamDeck pages pretty much go unused.

Accessories / Re: Aerosoft Australia MCP747
Last post by asboyd - Sun, 19 May 2024 04:41I now have the Aerosoft MCP connected to my Windows 10 64bit PC. I have downloaded Brians collection and tried numerous combinations but as soon as I select enable serial and click start AdaptPSX shuts down.
I have tried Beta 2.6, 2.7 8.0 and the latest 1.2.2
I have a new USB to serial but am thinking I might need to install a serial header in my machine and use pure serial connection.
It looks like the prolific drivers do not work correctly with AdaptPSX.
I have error logs from AdaptPSX Beta 2.6 and 1.2.2 if they are of any help.
Cheers,
AlexB

Accessories / Situ load, plane turns and run...
Last post by B747-400 - Sat, 18 May 2024 14:40Hi Hardy and Gary
strange behaviour detected: when I save a .situ at LICJ gate 214, and reload it immediately, the bird turns nearly a fully 360 and start moving.
Pls see enclosed video, .situ file included in ZIP-file.
It won't happen, when Garys WASM is disconnected. Scenery is from AmSim (orbx).
Any ideas / solutions?
