Cant assign "BELOW GLIDESCOPE" annunciator

[steveellis]

I have been following this thread closely.
So what values did you find did the trick ?

[alandyer]

Me too.
I'm also curious.

[alandyer]

Steve,

Thanks for your kind words.
I also following thread closely.
Have to get this working for my sim.

What do you think of idea of aircraft specific INI files ?

Hello Steve and Alan,
I have had the flu for a few days and didnt feel much like doing anything
I will post today how I have the ini file that made my "B/GLIDSLOPE " anunnciator working.
Give me some time so the "Tylenol" kicks in

Kind regards
James

Aircraft Specific INI Files would be an excellent addition.
The problem I find is that newbies ..like myself.. sometimes find it difficult to know what these values range from, I know we all like to try and figure it out for ourselves but sometimes ahelping hand is needed for those tricky bits.

I mean, it was only yesterday that I found out that the AUTOBRAKE DISARM, ANTISKID and a few more annunciators cannot be configured as FS does need other parts to make these functions work. The Annunciator for DISARM was a particular headache for me...<G>

Lineman --- Hope the tylenol has kicked in ---

And the answer is........
Alan had it pegged from the start..

For some strange reason I had to place this at the bottom of the PS2phFUSPIC.INI
to get it to work.


[NAV1_GS_NEEDLEANNUN]
Offset=0C49
Length=1
FSType=Proportional
LoValue=-127 <--------- "minus sign" important
HiValue=127 "FUSPIC.DOC shows a "plus" in front of 127" I removed it and it worked

and then calibrate it for your purpose.

I know have the following annunciators working..
LANDING GEAR GREEN/RED
LE FLAPTRANS
LE FLAPS EXT
INNER,MIDDLE,OUTER MARKERS
AUTO BRAKE DISARM (LIGHTS when I turn auto brake knob in off position, I believe it is supposed to do the opposite?
SPEED BRAKE ARMED
SPEEDBRAKE EXTENDED


I am trying to get my FUEL LIGHT to activate when I reach a given minimum in the center tank.I have tried GALLONS, percent,
and still it wont activate after I lower the level in the aircraft fuel load.
Here is what I have:

[FUEL_CENTERTANK_ANNUN]
Offset=0B80
Length=4
FSType=Proportional
LoValue=0
HiValue=1500 <-----737 center tank max gal

any tips on this guys?


Aircraft specific .ini files would definitly be a huge help.

Kind regards
James

[alandyer]

Center tank is offset 0B78.
0B80 is left tank.

[lineman55]

Your right Alan.
I have changed it so many times trying left tank,right tank, and center I didnt realize I left it like that when I posted this.
Should I be looking at GALONS instead of percent? while trying to achieve this issue?

[alandyer]

Steps 1 and 2 have obviously been performed.

Step 3: Examine Offset values coming from FS.

What values are getting from FS for fuel using Gallons offsets ?
empty ?
full tanks ?

[lineman55]

Alan,
Im getting 1500 for full tank center fuel tank
I have set it to activate lets say 1000 gal and then I would save and go to FS to
adjust fuel capacity and drop it down to 900 in the center tank and then go into FS
and the led would still not light even though my tank shows the subtracted fuel.
When Im in the Phidget software and calibrate it the light goes on and off accordingly with my new settings but not in FS while im sitting there on the runway with the plane started and ready to go.I have even tried the wing tanks also with the correct offsets. :confused:
I will poke around some more tonight with it.
