[Flightgear-devel] A380 tutorial issues
Hi, Was trying the A380 tutorial, and I noticed a property mismatch in the no-smoking switch check: error messageFlick no-smoking switch once on the overhead/message condition not-equals property/controls/switches/no-smoking/property value1/value /not-equals /condition /error However, the exit condition has: greater-than property/controls/switches/smoking/property value0/value /greater-than Changing no-smoking to smoking fixes it. Also, on the cockpit display, the DEPARTURE and ARRIVAL light seem to be reversed? And btw, I'm probably dumb but I can't find the HDG button? :( Thanks.

Ah, good catch; there must be another logic error in there somewhere, because I have actually got through that section successfully. I'll have another look later. Also, on the cockpit display, the DEPARTURE and ARRIVAL light seem to be reversed? OK, I'm not sure where you mean here? do you mean the FMS input fields on the MCDU screen? Or do you mean once you get into the Active init flight plan, where you select the runways and SID/STAR, and the Departure and Arrival tabs (illuminated active tab) towards the top of the page? And btw, I'm probably dumb but I can't find the HDG button? :( That is the on the AFS control panel on the glareshield, the first knob left of the centre AP and FD buttons, click to push, middle click to pull (managed and selected modes respectively) Feel free to e.mail me off-list if you have some more questions.

Please keep it on-list as this cleared up a couple of things for me too - I just never got around to writing to the list.

Sorry I wasn't very clear (and I wouldn't know how to describe it :) Like in the tutorial, departing YSSY, arriving YMML: http://pigeond.net/~pigeon/flightgear/a380-001.png When I click on the DEPARTURE button, the screen shows: http://pigeond.net/~pigeon/flightgear/a380-002.png The heading shows ARRIVIAL. I suppose now I get it as I'm being at the DEPARTURE screen, and the ARRIVIAL is for me to goto the ARRIVIAL screen. Am I right? And same for the ARRIVAL screen: http://pigeond.net/~pigeon/flightgear/a380-003.png Is it supposed to be like that? Thanks again.

I suppose now I get it as I'm being at the DEPARTURE screen, and the ARRIVIAL is for me to goto the ARRIVIAL screen. Am I right? Yes that is correct, the description below describes why and how it can be fixed. But in summary, it was a little more complicated to leave the active tab text there as you move from tab to tab and page to page, so I just showed the available tabs and not the active tab. And same for the ARRIVAL screen: http://pigeond.net/~pigeon/flightgear/a380-003.png Is it supposed to be like that? OK, in real-life there are supposed to be two tabs; DEPARTURE and ARRIVAL, when a tab is active it has white text on a black background with a white outline, the other available tabs have white text on a grey background with a white outline. So this isn't as complete as we would like, the grey background is an object in the .ac file, the tab labels are text animations (and so are separate objects). We use a select animation to turn on and off the input fields, the input labels and the tab background + label depending on what page and tab is active. To be able to click on a tab to make that active, it needs to displayed; so thinking out loud, the active tab text label should be moved into a new select animation that is based just on the page and not the page + tab this would then leave the white text label there for the active tab and it will just have a black background from the layer below.
