KA350 Condition Levers
-
From the developer, hope this helps...
'The condition lever behavior is unmodified from the Asobo default behavior. I recommend using the following B:Vars, instead of the A:Var, though. That should ensure that the lever moves as it would in any default aircraft.
B:FUEL_1_Condition_lever_Cut_Off
B:FUEL_2_Condition_lever_Cut_Off
B:FUEL_1_Condition_Lever_Low_Idle
B:FUEL_2_Condition_Lever_Low_Idle
B:FUEL_1_Condition_Lever_High_Idle
B:FUEL_2_Condition_Lever_High_IdleThe L:Var for the master panel lighting switch is: L:var_masterPanelLights.'
-
The TURB ENG CONDITION LEVER POSITION:1 or 2 are also values 0, 1 and 2.
0 = cutoff
1 = low
2 = highI can't find these variables but when I do I will try to get B:FUEL_1_Condition_lever_Cut_Off working
As a follow up not sure you can use B:Vars in Spad.Next
Confirmed B:Vars are not yet implemented in SPAD.Next

@meh1951 said in KA350 Condition Levers:
As a follow up not sure you can use B:Vars in Spad.Next
Confirmed B:Vars are not yet implemented in SPAD.NextIs confirmed to be in the next Alpha. I will test it out and post solutions here if the miussing stuff could be solved with B:Vars.

@meh1951 feather should work by simply set the standard prop axis to a huge negative value like -5000 IIRC. I could double check it tomorrow, but my feather settings worked on all my recent planes like C310, Baron and King Air.
-
@lemny it does work in Spad, see below how I have it implemented
In the client events page I have created the following events using the B:Vars
Below an example of axis setup in Spad.Next
axis range between 0 and 25 (Cut Off)
There's a delay in the axis movement so I added a check for the condition lever position != 0 so I could activate the repeat function to make sure no matter how fast I move the lever it will always catch up and get the position right - without such check of the condition lever position it would create an infinite loop (and we don't want to waste resource on that, right?! :) )axis range between 26 and 74 (Low Idle)
- the condition lever position must be != 1 in this caseaxis range between 75 and 100 (High Idle)
- the condition lever position must be != 2 in this caseThese are all script events hence I get the levers in the game in sync with my hardware all the time.
In case someone does not know where to find the Client Events page
Some extra 2 cents (out of topic)
There are some other events I have added you guys may find useful like events for the Radar, External Power, Pressurization Alt knob (yeah I also use the same event in the C414AW), for instance. Check it out!

@meh1951 below follows how I setup feather in the KA
There are two events (axis change event & scripted event)
The axis change event is a regular one for controlling the propeller axis
The scripted event is the one that controls the feather position

I have tried to replicate this but I am not sure what the reference to Local:Joy_0X16D00X09C1_Slider is or where it came from. I do not have it on my system. -
@meh1951 you got to replace that by whatever the appropriate var for your hardware lever/switch/button is.
This var just tells spad.next whether that button/switch of your hardware position is pressed or not - for instance.
The key piece of information here is the PROP_PITCH2_SET (-25), that's the one that actually makes the lever move to the feather position in the game. -
@anderson
Could not get the feather to work that way but I did get it to work this way
Still have not got the Condition Levers to work :-(
-
@meh1951 for button 26 try to setup the following
Button Pressed -> Send PROP_PITCH1_SET - Event (-25) for Left Prop
For whatever the other button used for right prop set the following
Button Pressed -> Send PROP_PITCH2_SET - Event (-25) for Right Prop
The condition levers you got to create those events listed above first

@anderson
Yes I got feather wotking your way...thx
Yes I created the BVars and copied what you had minus the Joy
-
@meh1951 how are controlling the lever? Are you using one of the Bravo axis for that?
Show a printscreen of the Spad.Next setup you have for controlling the lever.
As per the printscreen you have sent before I guess your setup will be something like
LOCAL: search for RX_AXIS in the Bravo device list
The condition lever setup
Cut Off setup
If you are going to use a different axis just replace the RX_AXIS by the correct axis name
There will be 3 entries for each lever
0 - 25 Cut Off
26 - 73 Low Idle
75 - 100 High IdleYou may change these range values to whatever range is best for you.

Anderson

@anderson
Thank you buddy the first screen shot answered a ton of questions for me.
I will try this...
thanks for your support!

@anderson
Does this look close??
-
@meh1951
No I still have problems.
Handle still not moving and LoopingJust realized I am getting 0 and 1 in the data monitor not 0 to 100 for the TURN ENG CONDITION LEVER
Failed again. Been working on this way to long.
-
@meh1951 you are almost there, notice you have not activated the repeat feature
It should be ON
You also can simplify the evaluation code by replacing the following line
by

@anderson
Repeat has been implemented but still the same results -
@anderson
Gone through a lot of programming but it's still the same results
-
@meh1951 the very first condition should be
Your condition is different
Turb Eng Condition Lever Position:2 equals ((LOCAL:JOY .... <=100))
Delete this Turb Eng Condition Lever Position:2
Your condition
The correct condition
There's no Turbo Eng Condition Lever Position:2 in the first line.
Give it a try as indicated.
