Hangar 7 / >BTL LOW ENG ...

Last post by Ton van Bochove - Sat, 30 Nov 2024 16:09

Goodday,

I had an engine fire sometime ago with a specific AC. Using this AC again after sometime the message BTL LOW ENG remains and I really don't know how to fill up/replace the bottle. Can somebody point me out the right direction?

Hangar 7 / Re: Situation search function?

Last post by QuadFan - Sat, 30 Nov 2024 09:07

Hardy, I was already sorting them in the sense that the scenarios that I use the most are prepended with one or more dashes so they would appear on top. That still gets messy if you're not adhering to a convention strictly enough

Reading back I think I should've written 'filter' instead of 'search'.

Thanks for the reply!

Hangar 7 / Re: Situation search function?

Very unlikely, I'm sorry ...

Background info: The file lists in PSX are alphabetically sorted. If the file names have a consistent structure, I can find my desired file within two seconds just by moving the scroll slider.

I think the most important thing here for users is to make well structured file names that include numbers and a consistent name structure so that everything remains alphabetically sorted.

Like this:

001 Departure VHHH to KLAX.situ
001 Departure WSSS to RJAA.situ
002 Approach training EHAM.situ
002 Approach training LGAV.situ


Not like this:

Approach into WSSS.situ
EGLL departure.situ
Inflight over Africa.situ
VHHH departure.situ


That's the basic idea. The sorted system should directly appear in the list display itself.

Hardy, is this something you would consider as a feature request? It would be a great quality of life feature to be able to search the situations from within PSX

Yeah, I know. I just found 2x CPFlight EFISes, so I'm kind of focused on getting their MCP too. If I can't find one I'll gut them and try to design a new PCB for them. But the building part is kind of frustrating to me, I enjoy flying better

OK, so that article from IFR-magazine gives an explanation that Navigraph will use as well. I discarded the idea of sending them a post.

Ok, I have now got the FCU displays working to a reasonable level using the somewhat ridiculous bridge of PSX to PSXSeeCon to SIOC to FSUIPC offsets to Mobiflight.

Clearly there could be neater solutions and presumably delving in to the Mobiflight source to determine the USB protocol for the WinWing FCU displays would be the way forward.

So it's just a mag var difference indeed, nothing else. 1965 versus 2024, as you found out.

Fair enough...
Maybe if I get a few seconds I will look at making one...

Thanks Bode,
I am following this guy on facebook and have his 741, I was hoping for a 744. I guess I can wait until someone makes one (or I find the time to learn how ).

Cheers,
AlexB

I have also used the default B744 that came with FSX in P3d.  I've tried them all at one time or the other and settled with the B741.
