Steam Gauge Overhaul

@Black-Square said in Caravan Autopilot - won't disarm?:

I just confirmed that this doesn't work with the default C172 with Asobo's implementation of a KAP140 either. When I looked in the code, it's using the SimVar "INDICATED ALTITUDE" directly, which will only look at the main altimeter, not a secondary barometer. It's deeper in the code than I usually like to make modifications to, but I will look at the documentation and see if there is an easy addition I can make and suggest to Working Title.

Now I feel really bad for the bum steer!

Yes, you are correct on all accounts.

Thanks for bringing this up again. I just put a note in the FAQ for the Duke so that people can hopefully avoid this issue. Your reply is very kind! I just hope you're enjoying the aircraft. I've built them as I always wished addon aircraft were, and I figured at least some people out there will have the same taste as me. Let me know if you have any more questions! Always happy to help.

Any thoughts on this?

Okay, much appreciated.

@Black-Square Thanks. A restart of the sim always works to fix this. I might make it my SOP to fly Black Square Analogs only after a fresh sim start to make sure all the states are correct.

Thanks, love my all my BKSQ aircraft (five and counting!).

Hey Fellas, I have an update on this one.

I had another report of this via tech support yesterday, so I spent several hours looking into the problem. As best I can tell, the flight plan is not synchronized with the GNS 530 when the GPS is hot-swapped in by my code, which can sometimes happen right after the aircraft is loaded. Clearly, other GPS units do not have this problem, so it should be something fixable in the GNS 530's code. I spent way too long trying to find a solution last night, so today I will write to some of my GPS developer friends for advice. Hopefully we can have a solution for you soon, and I can encourage Working Title to include that in SU15, before the release of my Dukes.

Engine alarms also working. This is starting to become everything I dreamed of in MSFS, when I bought these controllers. Analog Baron cross-country with throttles, radio and a nice yoke. Looking forward to go through your RNAV tutorial one of the days!

Use a drift meter.

I was not able to reproduce that bug today, so now the single profile for both planes, also with the the turbocharged versions works perfectly. Again, thank you very much for the superb support!

Thank you, and it works!

Thank you. I do my best!

@Black-Square Thanks for the reply! I was using a "modenhancer" addon that was overwriting the gauge...
Let me try again..
Edit: And now it works!
Which makes me wonder why this "cosmetic" mod would overwrite an executable file.. Time to weed out some undesired effects..

The King Air's APS-65 autopilot controller simply has no by which to tell you the target vertical speed, which is not uncommon for older autopilots. I think most older King Air pilots exclusively use the CLIMB and DESCEND modes of the autopilot, which are much more user friendly, and allow you to continuously adjust vertical speed with the power levers.

The TBM is perfect, taking it to the C208 will be fantastic. Is there a forecast for the update ?

L:var_emergencyPowerLeverPosition from 0-100. Should be as simple as that.

Yes, that is exactly what you will need to implement the autopilot disconnect button. Sorry, I just gave you the code for the second press.

Thank you sir!

L:BKSQ_MixtureLeverPosition_* worked!

Thank you
