Sharing my SPAD Profile for HC Alpha & Bravo

Luke

I've created a comprehensive profile for both the HC Alpha & Bravo. It's best if you have both but either devices' settings can be used independently if desired.

I have included the following guidance notes with the profile.
If you'd like to try it, search for _lukehall in the SPAD ONLINE PROFILES section of the App.

ALPHA YOLK bindings & functions:
AXIS: Both Elevator & Aileron axes are mapped. Elevator has a soft central curve for precise control.

LIGHTS: All light switches function as expected
BCN switch selects PULSE SYST

MASTER BAT: Short press ON then OFF to raise crash bar.
ON to select battery ON
MASTER ALT: ON to enable generator (No provision for GPU, use mouse interaction)
AVIONICS BUS 1: Avionics/RadioMaster
AVIONICS BUS 2: EFIS power

STARTER KEY: OFF: Ignition Off
R: Ignition Auto
L: Ignition ON
START: Engauge Starter
Then... BOTH: Disengauges Starter
Then... Back to R for Ignition Auto

Left hand 'trigger button': Toggle Parking Brake

Fore/Aft Trim Switches (Left yolk handle): Left: No function
Right: Elevator Trim (Blip or hold)

Left/Right Trim Switches (Right yolk handle): Aft: Rudder Trim (Blip or hold)
Fore: Aileron Trim (Hold)

AP Button (Red): Short press: AP Disconnect
Long press: Yaw Damper disconnect
Then... Short press: Toggle FD on/off

BRAVO TQ Bindings & functions:

TRIM WHEEL: Uses 0.0015Up/Down increments for positive but smooth and accurate trim control. Much better than mapping to a virtual axis.

Switches (Left to Right)

Inertial Seperator
Gyro
RMI
ADI 2
HSI 2
AP Master On/Off
Left Reading Light (Cos I had to have at least one light!)

FLAPS LEVER: Normal Up/Down increments
Long hold UP: 850 Mode ON
Long hold DOWN: 850 Mode OFF

THROTTLE AXIS (Left-most lever) Normal operation from full forward to rear detent
REAR DETENT: Full Reverse Thrust

PROP AXIS (Lever 3 counted from the left) Normal prop operation from full forward to rear detent
REAR DETENT: Prop Feather

CONDITION LEVER
REAR DETENT: CUT-OFF
Out of rear detent to about 4/5 forward: IDLE LOW
Full Forward: IDLE HIGH
No Manual Override has been added but you can easily do that if you want to using lever 2 for throttle and lever 1 (currently throttle) for Manual Override.

AUTO PILOT BUTTONS:
All function as expected...
HDG LONG PRESS: Syncs Heading Bug with AC heading
IAS LONG PRESS: Initiates a FL Change.

Hey Luke
Have not been able to find you profile on SPAD is it still there?

Luke

@meh1951 Yes, it should be. I'll check when I get back to my PC and let you know. Make sure you have the right filters applied when searching...

meh1951

found it. Thanks
Took a while to get used to the layout (modified a little to fit my setup) but this is great. I really liked your implementatin of the starter.

Well take a little longer to try everything out. It has really added to my immersion and realism!

Great Job!!! Thanks!!!

Luke

@meh1951 Good, I'm glad you found it!
There is a change to the above which may or may not be noted in the profile notes...

Moving the throttle into the rear detent now toggles between forward and reverse thrust. This means you can control the reverse thrust precisely rather than it being all or nothing.

Hope you enjoy it :-)

I added the LVAR:BKSQ_ShowBetaAnnunciator in the flap logic just for the visual
