+Wrench Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 WOW! I could have used that when repainting a few pits myself! A neat looking litle tool!! wrench kevin stein Quote
+FastCargo Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 No kidding, right? One reason I never got into finishing my T-38A cockpit...painting all those round dials! FC Quote
serverandenforcer Posted October 23, 2010 Posted October 23, 2010 If there isn't an issue with the creator of the program, can you upload it here? FC Is there a way to just have a link to the site in the download section so that way you don't have to worry about getting permission... just go to where the maker of the program had origianlly uploaded it? So say if someone here wanted to download the file, there is no download button, but a link to re-direct them to the site where it is originally uploaded? Quote
bwild Posted October 23, 2010 Posted October 23, 2010 On the same site I stumbled upon a similar program with some additional options. Seems to be a bit more powerfull. http://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?autocom=downloads&showfile=6359 Quote
+Monty CZ Posted October 24, 2010 Author Posted October 24, 2010 Ok from today I can even land in low visibility conditions (or maybe die trying it but knowing what I did wrong :-) ) I did some ini cockpit work today for anybody who want to ask when it would be finnished here si my to do list: todo list.txt need to solve this: it is possible to make one light for gear up and one for gear down? it is possible to have azimuth to previous waypoint on any instrument? how to do range counter? how to do separate lights for flap up, take of, landing? how to overheat the engine in 20mins on full throttle? etc etc :-) Monty CZ Quote
+Brain32 Posted October 25, 2010 Posted October 25, 2010 need to solve this: it is possible to make one light for gear up and one for gear down? Yes like this: [GearUp] Type=LANDING_GEAR_INDICATOR NodeName=gearLightR MovementType=LIGHT Set[01].Position=1.0 Set[01].Value=0 Set[02].Position=0.0 Set[02].Value=1 [GearDown] Type=LANDING_GEAR_INDICATOR NodeName=gearLightG MovementType=LIGHT it is possible to have azimuth to previous waypoint on any instrument? Uh I don't know how to do range counter? Simple, same as every other this is my entry: [HSI_RangeCounter] Type=RANGE_INDICATOR CounterNodeFormat=HSI_rangedig%d MovementType=ANALOG_COUNTER ValueUnit=NM how to do separate lights for flap up, take of, landing? Here's my entry: [FlapsUp] Type=FLAPS_CONTROL_HANDLE NodeName=FlapsUp MovementType=LIGHT Set[01].Position=1.0 Set[01].Value=0.0 Set[02].Position=0.0 Set[02].Value=1.0 Set[03].Position=0.0 Set[03].Value=2.0 [FlapsTakeOff] Type=FLAPS_CONTROL_HANDLE NodeName=TakeOff MovementType=LIGHT Set[01].Position=0.0 Set[01].Value=0.0 Set[02].Position=1.0 Set[02].Value=1.0 Set[03].Position=0.0 Set[03].Value=2.0 [FlapsLanding] Type=FLAPS_CONTROL_HANDLE NodeName=Landing MovementType=LIGHT Set[01].Position=0.0 Set[01].Value=0.0 Set[02].Position=0.0 Set[02].Value=1.0 Set[03].Position=1.0 Set[03].Value=2.0 how to overheat the engine in 20mins on full throttle? Sorry buddy, I have no idea on that one either Quote
+Bongodriver Posted October 25, 2010 Posted October 25, 2010 how to overheat the engine in 20mins on full throttle? My guess is that some things just aren't possible, after all this is a 'sim lite' and complex engine management is not traditionally something TK considers for this series. Quote
+Monty CZ Posted October 25, 2010 Author Posted October 25, 2010 Brain32 Thank you buddy! I tried something similar but not exactly this. Problems solved, more ahead :-) Monty CZ Quote
+FastCargo Posted October 25, 2010 Posted October 25, 2010 My guess is that some things just aren't possible, after all this is a 'sim lite' and complex engine management is not traditionally something TK considers for this series. Actually, you can cause the engine to fail after a certain amount of time...but I don't know how randomized it is. What I did when I was experimenting was causing the oil pressure to exceed limits, and I noticed it was adjustable to an extent (ie if you exceeded a little, it took a while before the engine would start having problems, but if you exceeded a LOT, it would have problems quickly). However, I don't know if you could stretch it out to 20 minutes... FC Quote
+Fubar512 Posted October 25, 2010 Posted October 25, 2010 Inlet and exhaust temp limits work best. Quote
