KA350i Avionics switch
-
@escriba see below
note 1: as usual disregard the JOY condition (it's a particular check I do due the use of multiple functions to the same hardware switch)
note 2: I posted screenshots for left engine only, for right engine use GENERAL ENG STARTER:2 and TURB ENG IGNITION SWITCH EX1:2 instead

@anderson I am new to SPAD.next and I'm curious where did the [SWITCH_ENGINE (Device)] come from. I can't find that in my SPAD.

How does one figure out all that stuff. All I can do is using the data monitor or event monitor in Spadnext to find out what values change or what events are being sent when I operate a switch or button in the virtual cockpit. This method works fine for some simpler aircrafts but not for the King Air. So ist there a way to acquire this knowledge or is it all guesswork and trial an error ?

Using this I can get the switch to move but it does not turn on everything. If I pull the breaker and push it back in it turns on. What am I missing.I also found the same thing on AVSIM Forum from December
Trying to get the avionics master switch to work for the Black Square king air with my Alpha, using Spad.next . I can get the switch to move up and down by updating "VAR_AVIONICSMASTERSWITCH", but the avionics don't actually power on. Strangely, if I pull the avionics breaker, and push it back in, they come on. Is there some variable or event I'm missing here?
After doing the breaker trick if I turn bat, alt and avionics off then all I have to do is turn on the battery on and the GOS (530) comes on.
So is this an issue in the AnalogKinAir.xml file??

@meh1951 the LVAR VAR_AVIONICSMASTERSWITCH alone does not do the trick for the Avionics, you must add the other commands (ELECTRICAL_BUS_TO_BUS_CONNECTION_TOGGLE & ELECTRICAL_CIRCUIT_TOGGLE) as indicated in my previous post in this thread dated back Mar 15th.

@anderson
I have added what you had. Does the order matter? -
@anderson
I just can't get this to work
-
@meh1951 notice there are two conditions that must be observed for Avionics switch ON. You are covering just the first one for SWITCH_ENGINE == 0, maybe you need to add the second condition (SWITCH_ENGINE =! 0) and the respective actions to be executed (in this case you don't execute the ELECTRICAL_CIRCUIT_TOGGLE event(131)). Please refer to my previous post on this thread for details.

@anderson
Does not change the fact that GPS (530) does not turn on when I turn avionics switch on and Starter won't kick in unless I turn OFF the Avionics Switch.Avionics On
Avionics OFF

@meh1951 do you have the latest version of GNS530 installed (Working Title)+ latest version of GTN750 (2.1.84) installed (including the patch version 1.1.4 and the King Air mod version 1.0.8)?
Try and publish a short video to illustrate the issue, it may help understand if there's something else missing.

@anderson
I only have the WT GNS530 1.1.4 (latest)installed.
I will try to get a VID.

@anderson said in KA350i Avionics switch:
mod version 1.0.8)?
I have KA350 0.1.3 which I think is the latest.

@meh195, knowing this is an older topic, were ever able to find this: [SWITCH_ENGINE (Device)] in spad? I am trying to get the avionics switch assigned to my Honeycomb Alpha and not having success so far.
