I have no objection to standardizing on "real volts" so long as we standardize on something. In the RW they only make one kind of instrument. Some instruments like my GPS have a fancy regulator so they work fine on any voltage from 6 V to 32 V; otherwise there is a jumper on the back of the instrument. Putting a "jumper" in the SW instrument is super-easy and seems entirely reasonable if one wants this degree of realism. What is not reasonable is having a menagerie of incompatible un-jumperable 1 V instruments, 12 V instruments, 28 V instruments, and instruments that don't check the power state at all. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list Flightgear-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/flightgear-devel
