Searching Offset for Engine Fire etc

[Thomas Richter]

Why not using the build-in logic ??
Just set the firestatus Offset to 51 or 52 or 53.
All needed indications comes ON and ONLY by pulling the Firehandle the ENG/APU cuts, not before. This part is as well included by setting the variable/Offset, e.g. ENG1 eng1firehandlepull (should be connected to your hardware.

if firestatus = 51
FireHandleEng1 = 1
overheateng1 = 1
firesolenoideng1 = 1
firebell = 1
sixpackovhedet = 1
endif

if firestatus = 52
FireHandleEng2 = 1
overheateng2 = 1
firesolenoideng2 = 1
firebell = 1
sixpackovhedet = 1
endif

if firestatus = 53
FireHandleApu = 1
firesolenoidapu = 1
firebell = 1
sixpackovhedet = 1
endif

hello,

And for pminstructor we have to add this lines?

ADD TO 'FAIL.TXT'
ENG1/FIRE, 5648, 4, 51, 0
ENG2/FIRE, 5648, 4, 52, 0

best regards,

The Offset is 1 Byte length, not 4 !
5648 1 FireStatus

ENG1/FIRE, 5648, 1, 51, 0
ENG2/FIRE, 5648, 1, 52, 0
APU/FIRE, 5648, 1, 53, 0

Another step done:
I encluded the described offsets into my pmInst Systems/Fail and it works:
When pushing the ENG1/FIRE button the Fire Handle Lights and the Overheat Eng1 indication come on.

But:
A) The engine does not cut, when pulling the handle (as described) and there is no "firebell sound".
B) How can I trigger the firebell sound??? Where is the sound located? Cannot find it in pmSounds ... ?

Thx

A) Where are you Cutoff's connected to (hardware)?

B) 5649 .0 FireBell
You have to create your own sound

What are the Offset where are the Fire Handles connected to?

[Bob Reed]

Ahhh Beat me to it Thomas..... Thank you for being so active on this site! You have been a lot of help and I want you to know it is appreciated!

What are the Offset where are the Fire Handles connected to?

According to TSR Cockpitsystems B737

5652 eng1firehandlepull ENG1 FIRE HANDLE PULL OFF= CLR BIT 0 / PULL = SET BIT 0

5652 eng1firehandleleft ENG1 FIRE HANDLE LEFT OFF= CLR BIT 1 / LEFT = SET BIT 1

5652 eng1firehandleright ENG1 FIRE HANDLE RIGHT OFF= CLR BIT 2 / RIGHT = SET BIT 2


5652 eng2firehandlepull ENG2 FIRE HANDLE PULL OFF= CLR BIT 3 / PULL = SET BIT 3

5652 eng2firehandleleft ENG2 FIRE HANDLE LEFT OFF= CLR BIT 4 / LEFT = SET BIT 4

5652 eng2firehandleright ENG2 FIRE HANDLE RIGHT OFF= CLR BIT 5 / RIGHT = SET BIT 5


5652 apufirehandlepull APU FIRE HANDLE PULL OFF= CLR BIT 6 / PULL = SET BIT 6

5652 apufirehandleleftright APU FIRE HANDLE LEFT/RIGHT OFF= CLR BIT 7 / LEFT/RIGHT = SET BIT 7


Thanks, Thomas, appreciate your support

5648 1 FireStatus

ENG1/FIRE, 5648, 1, 51, 0

Thomas,

My sixpack fire warn do not light. I use cpflight card. But also I do not see the light at pmsystems. I used the bellow at logics

if firestatus = 51
FireHandleEng1 = 1
overheateng1 = 1
firesolenoideng1 = 1
firebell = 1
sixpackovhedet = 1
endif

if firestatus = 52
FireHandleEng2 = 1
overheateng2 = 1
firesolenoideng2 = 1
firebell = 1
sixpackovhedet = 1
endif

if firestatus = 53
FireHandleApu = 1
firesolenoidapu = 1
firebell = 1
sixpackovhedet = 1
endif

best regards,
Achilles

Just insert into each part
sixpackfire = 1
