So i take it the way this project is going that there will be switches and inditcators + various variables in the FG prop tree eventually for every instrument / electrical system. Yes. This is the way... currently i put and read all values from /controls/electric/[panel]/[switch,gauge] for example: /controls/electric/genbuspanel/genoffbus0 (boolean / light) /controls/electric/genbuspanel/acamps0(double / analog cur. meter) /controls/electric/genbuspanel/gen0 (boolean / switch) all values are precalculated so you don't have to do any calculation or decission making in the panel and simply have to concat the switches, lights and meters with the panel. cu markus --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.

You can many hotspot panels, orientated in any direction - see the B1900 (I presume the roof console is a separate panel), the Hurricane, the B29 or the Lightning (and no doubt others) which all have multiple hotspot panels. Of course the process of creating these is time consuming, cumbersome and at times frustrating, but it can be done.

So maybe if you email me off list and we can sort out what is to be done. We could on the other hand simply use this mailing list. That's what a development list is for. i also think the list is the better place, so that other, or new developers can browse the archives. I'd like to ask: is there some development version of the 737 available? I'm tempted to fix some animations that were in the old model, but if I had to guess, I'd say they are already done and I'd hate to waste the effort. i'am currently using the one from the cvs head... maybe we should use this thread to make a list of people who are working on the 737 and on which systems... please add your yourself and your stuff, you are working on: - Model: Stefan Seifert: Animation fixes? - Panels: Innis Cunningham: 3D Cockpit - Air Conditioning Pressurization: - Autoflight: - Electrical: Markus Barenhoff: Basic Framework, elec. buses, generators, apu, battery, external power, meter panel(code), generator and standby panel(code), generator bus panel(code). - Fire Protection: - Flight Controls: - Flight Instruments: - FMS Navigation: - Fuel: - Hydraulics: - Ice Rain Protection: - Navigation: - Pneumatics: - Warnings: cu Markus -- Markus Barenhoff - Hamburg - Germany - Earth url: http://www.alios.org/ - mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] pgpkey: 0xAE7C7759 fp: 79 64 AA D9 B7 16 F5 06 6A 88 5F A9 4D 49 45 BB --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
