[Flightgear-devel] Nasal function and keyboard shortcut for autobrake functionality
Hi,
I saw and tested the autobrake functionality on 737-300,and it works well.I
can set it with http server or internal property editor.Is there a plan to
assign a keyboard shortcut to it?
Nasal func :
--
autobrakeArmedToggle = func { if
(getprop(/controls/flight/autospeedbrakes-armed) == true) {
setprop(/controls/flight/autospeedbrakes-armed , false);}
else {
setprop(/controls/flight/autospeedbrakes-armed , true);}
}
--
Keyboard shortcut :
--
key n=79
nameO/name

No. We only set global keybindings if they are useful for several
aircraft, not just one or very few. Which doesn't keep me from nitpicking,
of course: ;-)
autobrakeArmedToggle = func { if
(getprop(/controls/flight/autospeedbrakes-armed) == true) {
setprop(/controls/flight/autospeedbrakes-armed , false);}
else { setprop(/controls/flight/autospeedbrakes-armed , true);}
}
Usage of strings true and false for 1 and 0 is not recommended.
It's not only slower, but forces newly created properties to become
type STRING. And if (foo) doesn't do what you'd expect, if foo
is a string bool, as every non-empty string is considered true, even
if it contains false.
And one would probably try to avoid to specify one and the same
property path three times:
autobrakeArmedToggle = func {
var p = /controls/flight/autospeedbrakes-armed;
setprop(p, !getprop(p));
}
m.

The autobrakes on the boeings I'm aware of are activated by a rotary switching on the middle of the panel (near the main gear lever), which has settings 1-3? and 'Max', which presumably does something aggressive ... with the brake application.HHJames

There are no key bindings defined for these. It awaits a clickable 3D panel. Dave --- Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?

[Flightgear-devel] A4F - AAR Capability
Hi, I committed a new facility for the A4F yesterday. It now has a functioning AAR capability with YASim, like the one already available for JSBSim. I have also taken the opportunity to adjust the panel to make it more nearly like that of an A4F, rather than an A4C, although a couple of the instruments are not correct, principally the ASI should be replaced with a combined ASI/Mach instrument. I have added a nav-display on which TACAN data is displayed. In due course waypoints will also be displayed there as well. To use all these goodies, you need to have included refuelling_demo_1.xml in your preferences.xml file. You can then tune your TACAN to the channel of the KC135 (039X), which is on a long N/S racetrack starting in the vicinity of KSFO. You will see the TACAN position on the nav display (it's a Plan Position Indicator so N is always up). You can make your approach, and when you are within 250 ft of the tanker, a green light will come on in the fuel contents gauge, and fuel transfer will take place. When you have taken enough fuel, you can break off. If you also have nimitz_demo.xml in your preference file, you cab retune your TACAN to the Nimitz channel (029Y), and recover back aboard. That should keep you busy for a while, enjoy! Regards, Vivian PS Yes, the A4 has a probe while the KC135 is a boom refueller. I'm working on a KA6-D right now. --- Using Tomcat but need to do more?

Justin, Check to see if it is also rolling and pitching slowly. In that case you have excited the Dutch Roll, which may be what you would expect at higher speeds.

[Flightgear-devel] [RFC] new waypoint dialog
I've now put everything in place in sg fgfs that was need to replace the old waypoint dialog with something fancier. I intend to throw out auto_gui.[ch]xx, so I better warn you and ask for comments. If nobody objects, then I'll commit this in a few days (I'm away over weekend). http://members.aon.at/mfranz/waypoints.jpg [24 kB] And it goes like this: * move a few parts of auto_gui.cxx to route_mgr.cxx * remove auto_gui.[ch]xx (there are a few unused dialogs in there that will just get dropped without replacement; Easy to add later on as XML-dialogs if we need them. But I doubt we will.) * implements almost all functionality as XML dialog with embedded Nasal * adds a listener property that waits for the well-known waypoint specifications ([EMAIL PROTECTED] etc.), *and* for these commands: $CLEAR ... to clear the route $POP... to remove the first entry $DELETE 3 ... to remove the 4th entry These commands replace the fgcommands, but if people insist, then I'll add regular fgcommands as wrappers. * as written above, drop deprecated fgcommands: old-ap-add-waypoint-dialog, old-ap-pop-waypoint-dialog, old-ap-clear-route-dialog Advantages: * removes ugly and modal hardcoded dialog * non-blocking, draggable * dialog is live: entries are immediately effective, the status line (top) shows current distance/Estimated Time of Arrival towards active waypoint * the Remove button removes the selected entry, or the last if none selected * input doesn't need to be in upper-case letters, but automatically converted TODO: * allow to insert waypoints *in* the list (currently always appended) * allow lon/lat waypoints in addition to airports fixes m. --- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
