Can this be done?

[AchillesP]

Hi,

The offsets are the below which can entered inside sysvar.txt or at the logic section of pmsysxxx.lgc

55F0 0 CPFD
55F0 1 CND
55F0 2 UECAM
55F0 3 LECAM
55F0 4 FND
55F0 5 FPFD

The manual says
(Dimmer Implemented for Airbus and Boeing
Glass Cockpit display brightness, Bytes
0 - Captain PFD
1 - Captain ND
2 - Upper ECAM
3 - Lower ECAM
4 - F/O ND
5 - F/O PFD
0 - INOP, 1 Dark -100 Bright
Important: Bitmap Frames must be disabled)

So, you must build a logic that must be dark or bright when you want. The logic must me something like the below and must be inserted at the logic section of pmsysxxx.lgc

if (genbus1 = 0) or (genbus2 = 0)
then
CPFD = 1
CND = 1
UECAM = 1
LECAM = 1
FND = 1
FPFD = 1
else
CPFD = 100
CND = 100
UECAM = 100
LECAM = 100
FND = 100
FPFD = 100
endif

I did not test it and I do not know if it works, but it seems it will.

Hi guys,

Ive tried this on my development setup and it didnt work. thats not to say that it wont work on someone elses setup. If I am reading AchillesP's sys logic right, then basically it says if GEN1 or GEN2 are OFF then no PFD/ND/etc. IF GEN1 or GEN2 are ON then PFD/ND/etc are bright 100%. From reading the logic on the 777, if APU/GRND PWR are ON the FSAVIONICS thus PFD/ND/etc on. Presume this includes the battery. Im begining to think that at what ever N1/N2 setting in % the GEN1 and GEN2 kick in is where we need to write the logic? S0 say if N1 = 15% then PFD/etc = 0 Then when N1 = 19% then PFD = 100.

Make sence to anyone?

I use something really simple to have the displays go off and back immediately, which can simulate the rapid blinking effect of a bus change ..
FSUIPC lists the following:
Pm Elec All toggle
This can be linked to a key or a switch very easily.
No programing needed.

Hope it can help.

Speaking of this...is it possible to have a switch or button assigned to multiple offsets, in other words in your example above, let's say that I want to have the L GEN switch assigned to turn on the L GEN *and* assigned to the additional offset for the 'PM Elec All toggle' ?

Im using the FDS SYS3 card.

Hi Eric

Yes, that is possible. You need to do it manually in FSUIPC.ini file.

Thanks, I will take a look this weekend then!

Hi Eric

I think you use GoFlight modules for some functions.
This is e.g. with a 8 Switch Module to set the Battery and the Avionics at the same time with ONE switch ON/OFF.

[Buttons]
5=P109,0,Cx01003102,x01
6=U109,0,Cx01003102,x00
7=P109,0,Cx01003103,x01
8=U109,0,Cx01003103,x00

Interesting. What is the offset and size? I did a quick look at the doc's and couldn't find it.

Cheers,
