A320 Stand-By gauges

Jeheel, nice work! The future project looks great too! I wondered if you or anyone else reading this for that matter, could try and run this with fs9..... I have tried and doesn't seem to work. I know you said it was untested with fs9, any chance you would consider adding the compatibility if it's not there now?

I tested the clock and the ISIS with FS9, both are working, I check the other ones, when I am at home again, but if the ISIS is working, the other standbys should work, too.

I checked the chrono on my test computer (FS9+unregistered FSUIPC)and it works, but only the zulu time, no stopwatch. Probably due to limited FSUIPC, Confirm?

Might be true, I tested it with a registered version.

Yes, ok, my initial test was flawed, they work when on the same screen as my fs9, but when I drag them to the second monitor they stop functioning. Wonder why that is?

Sometimes graphic adapter make these strange things, OpenGl only avilable on one screen, etc. Its the same with my system, moving the FS to the other sreen makes it stuttering, moving it back, everything is fine. Sometimes it is really hardware related, sometimes its only the driver.

Well if the date and hour work, the chronometer should work as well, that is weird.
You may need to know I developped it with a french keyboard, so maybe the keys for "QWERTY" keyboard are slightly different. Try pushing all the alphabets touch...
The clock only use fsuipc for date and time, the rest is hardcoded and not linked with fsuipc...

Hi!

Just to say a big thank you for your standby instruments.

You have now cost me over £100!! I have ordered a 4 inch lcd screen and a second hand PCI graphics card to power the display. It’s the chronometer/clock that I am now installing. For years I have had to make do with a dummy display – couldn’t find 7 segment displays small enough for that part of the MIP. But now... 

Once again a BIG thank you.

Hi Jeeshell,

First of all, nice pieve of software. Already awaiting the day you share the rest of the a320 program
But I m a software tester by profession and have already two bug reports ready:
1) I could not start the ETE by using S T D or any other key
2) On the DDRMI I saw the distance to the VORS as 00-1.0 when out of range ... not so nice, should show dashes

Wishfull thinking :
what am I missing to be usefull for cockpit building, well, since those instruments go behind a mip, most probably they should
be displayed on an LCD which is rotated to fit the airbus mip so I should be able to rotate the instruments 90/180/270
and it would be usefull if you defined some offsets where we could write some command which you reset to 0 when treated
commands like for setting the bugs, start/stop the chrono etc.. to replace the keyboard commands with the fsuipc offsets
which many hardware vendors interface with

PS : dont get offended, its nice software, its free and its usefull for many builders around .. thanks
just wanna make it better . .. my 2 cents

[jeehell]

Thanks for your debugging and advice!

I'll correct the ddrmi bug in a future version including the rotation of the displays which is a nice feature I hadn't thought of (for the moment you can probably rotate your screen display with your graphic card).
But currently I m away from home and projects for a couple weeks so don't expect the new version until I have time to get back to it...

Jeehell,

Congratulations! The upcoming projet looks stuning! I am also one of those looking out for cheap ways to emulate a glass cockpit. In particular, I am so grateful you have been working on the Airbus type! For some reason, everybody seems to go for boeings.

1) of course, I cannot stop from asking you for an update: when do you think you will be finishing your latest version?

2) Will it be able to interact with some hardware, say that from opencockpit (IO cards) or CSI Cockpit simulation or any other ones?

I look forward to trying your work out soon

Best,

Mat
