Re: [Flightgear-devel] FG Serial; Was: Release 2.4.0: on short final
Hi Thorsten
Thanks for the help, sorry for the delayed reply been really busy with
this hardware. I'd love to give it a shot, can you point me in the right
direction as far as what to download, how to set things up, compile etc?
I'm looking forward to giving it a shot.

Re: [Flightgear-devel] Having an issue with my mags
Hi , It's been ages since i looked at this one again , I see it's in serious need of an update (still uses panel style hotspots)! and fuel management needs to be brought up to date anyway , Going back over the files , i see i used controls/electric/key to manage the magnetos / starter . I'm pretty sure magneto positions have no real effect,other than 0=off , 1,2,3 = on , since it doesn't use any yasim engine , just simulated effects using nasal. The R22.nas file watches the position of /controls/electric/key to set magnetos , engage starter if this is vague , bug me some more , I have a day off tomorrow so i can dig a little deeper.

Howdy Rob,
A YASim FDM helicopter doesn't usually define an engine in the
conventional sense. In addition to what you've already done, you might
have to terminate the fuel flow to kill the engine. I had a quick look
at the R22-- it looks like Syd has a similar routine for killing the
engine in R22.nas, but he calls it /after/ fuel supply is terminated.
You might have a look at that for ideas if you haven't already. I'm
guessing Syd will come on after a while and give you some more
information.

[Flightgear-devel] Having an issue with my mags
Hi all, another question.
I'm trying to get control of the magnetos to give me off, left,
right, and both conditions. Right now I have this bit of code:
In -set.xml:
o
Toggle Mags Off
nasal
R22.Off_Mag()
Which should
take the key 'o' and send to the R22.nas for the next bit of code.
In R22.nas
var Off_Mag = func{
setprop("controls/engines/engine[0]/magnetos",0);
setprop("engines/engine[0]/running",0);
}
According to
what I have been able to gather, this should set the mag position to
'0', or off, and kill the engine.
Unfortunately, nothing happens when I run the code, the helo continues
to run as if nothing has happened. Is there something obviuos I am
overlooking?
Thanks,
Rob

Csaba/Jester, Thank you. I'll go lock myself in a corner for a while for not seeing that. Lol.

[Flightgear-devel] Keyboard Map
Hi all, figured out how to change/setup/remove key commands for aircraft in the -set.xml. My question is what character map are you using to come up with the Key number? I can see in the PA28-161 that or key number 78 is N (caps) but that number isn't the decimal, hex, or referance number in any of my key maps. The USB controls for the R22 are coming along nicely BTW.
