Roel's interfacing topic

PreviousPage 3 of 8Next

Hey Ron

I watched the older video with the Nokia lcd , there also was an encoder pushed, so i decided to start like that.
I didn't knew the Landing ALT was triggered by just turning the encoder!
I think i can implement that.
The manual pressurization isn't finished yet, but i figured it was triggered by the square push button.
But thanks for the comment, very helpful!

Hey Roel,

No problem.  I believe we can program our Pressurization system and TFT screens to work just like the real thing.  Jason and I are working on that also.  (I am working on the hardware side of the problem where he is working on the software side)

Do you have a Lear45 Pilot's Manual or any training material?  A lot of what we need when it comes to figuring out how things work are in there.  Let me know if you need anything.  I have several digital versions I can send you via mail.

Hey Ron

i think i am missing these manuals indeed.
i do have some , but am missing about this pressure panel for instance.

if you coud send one that would be great!

I'm not sure where to put this. I will add it to a discussion on Logic.

I have asked for logic before but, perhaps, not in the right way.

I have seen videos on Hangar45 showing logic for switches on the Electric Panel. Can't find it now. I have also seen Alan Norris' post on the APU and it's impact on the Electric Panel.

But where is the discussion in Hangar45 on the switch logic and where does it fit with the Flight Sim (any type - FSX, FS2020, P3D)? Or is that all proprietary to Jet45 AAS? I am not purchasing V2.0 (can't afford it). So, where is the logic.

An example: There are inconsistencies between Lear 45XR switches and Flight Sim. There are L and R Pitot Heat switches (Probe Anti-Ice). All aircraft have Pitot tubes for IAS. However, there is no Pitot Heat offset in FSUIPC and one general Pitot Heat in the FSX/P3D Variables.

How does Hangar45 handle this?

There are no windshield anti-ice (heat) variables in FSX/P3d. How does Hangar45 handle this?

The others may be obvious - Wing/Stab = P3D Structure Anti-Ice, L NAC = Eng 1/2 Anti-Ice.

How about the remainder of the switches that aren't obvious (e.g. Heading Switch on the AHRS section of the L Crew Lights)?

Is there a publication (I have the Quick Handbook and Pilot's Handbook) that discuss? The handbooks don't really - they just discuss which function to use in situations.

PS - The Navy Military NATOPS manuals discussed it all (including the handbooks) for every Navy aircraft (Naval Air Training and Operating Procedures Standardization).

I have the .pdf of the Lear 45XR Quick Reference Handbook. Send me your email (dhsimm4021@gmail.com) and I'll send it to you. It may answer most of your questions. However, as stated above, switch logic is not really discussed in either handbook.

After reading the Pilot's manual which i received from Ron, i made some changes in my code of the cabin pressure panel.

-Font is white
-Encoders function as described....at least what i understand from the manual...
-Changed the ascent/descent indicator of the cabin rate to an arrow instead of the minus sign.

Here is a vid:




I Know there shouldn't be text on the screen like "Landing Alt"...but i like that 😉

 

 

Hey Roel,

This is outstanding work you are doing on the pressure display!  I am glad that the information I sent helped.  Sharing information is key to the success of our projects!

I am looking forward to seeing this working in my own simulator at some point.  As I mentioned before, this will all be part of the new Jet45 Systems Software that Jason is working on.

I went back and looked at a couple photos I had and noticed that when a "Light Test" is conducted, all the segments in the Pressure Display light up.  I did not realize this was part of the light test until this moment.

Take a look!

You are making great progress with your sim Roel!

Ah ok!

That sure is helpfull.
I am again going to make a small adjustment

thanks!

Viewed YouTube tutorials on Mobiflight. Great application, very proud of its FSUIPC dropdown (should be). Plan to use it. Thanks.

Have you used it with Jet45's offsets? Haven't tried the app yet but will start tomorrow (finished yoke, rudder, seat and floor - attached .jpg) on MIP. Waiting on throttle from Russia.

Have you tried using Mobiflight with an UNO? Conflicting input in the forum and other blogs. I have several.

Also, who manufactured the DU bezels. If they are the same as mine, would you have the wire configuration? I would like to change from Pokeys to Arduino.

Thanks much.

Added file with my phone.

Hi Dave

Mobiflight had limited hardware support.
Basicly you are limited to an Arduino MEGA 2560.
Thats why i am moving towards Air Manager.
Unfortunatly Air Manager does not support FSUIPC 🙁

Still figuring how to use AM and FSUIPC....

But..with Mobiflight you can perfect interface with Jet45

I made the bezels myself!

 

I looked into Air Manager on YouTube. Until it's downloaded, can't find any real use except for standard type flight instruments.

FSUIPC is almost the standard by now. Been using Microsoft FS since 1988. FSUIPC builds on experience. There have been problems with SimConnect. Hopefully with P3D and FS2020, those issues will be solved.

Thanks for all your help.
