King air master caution /warning flashing indicators.

Black Square

Wow, that's quite the resume! I have quite the soft spot for cockpit builders, so please let me know any and all of your questions!

The master caution and warning L:Vars are...

(L:var_masterCautionLatching, number)
(L:var_masterWarningLatching, number)

0 = Off
1 = Illuminated
2 = Acknowledged

Let me know if you have any questions!

Thank you so much. Thats incredible!
I'll try not to be a pest and work things out myself in future. I'll post some photos aswell if that's ok. I haven't delved into other aircraft or addons or even fine tuning frame rates etc yet. Just solid building and the analogue king air (mainly sitting on the runway for hours on end)... which has saved my a$$ and made things possible. It's a very niche arm of cockpit building.
I have hundreds of design files for 3d prints and laser work for a king air, So if anyone needs anything to kick themselves off I'd be glad to help. It'll save you going down the road i did.

Then I would like to show my setup, I was so fortunate to get my hands on a real King Air simulator, that I am rebuilding for MSFS2024, using the Black Square King Air as a model.

The original setup was old, so I cut all connections and are using Mobiflight as connection to MSFS.

The setup is in an old stable on my farm, so in the winter it is too cold to work on it, so I am looking forward to spring

@reiler What a tremendous opportunity! Being sent photos of my software running on serious hardware is always one of my favorite parts of interacting with this community. I also accept cat photos

deepee

That looks terrific mate! Awesome work

Absolutely love to see this. I noticed the analog king air appeared to be a better trainer than the B200 sim I was trained on. It felt like the systems were modelled for a full cockpit sim as well.

Finally uploaded photos. Sorry gang.
Everything made with a k40 laser and ender 3 printer apart from realsimgear 530

@Black-Square

Im really new to Lvars. Apologies.
I can make my master warning led light up, and flash via mobiflight now thankyou. Mobiflight shows me the on off state number as the light blinks etc. How do I tell it to turn off/reset when I press the master warning switch hardware or mouse click it?
I think once I get one Lvar under my belt ill be able to sort alot of the base ones. Out of the three numbers, o,1,2, which one should I attach after typing in the Lvar? Ive been searching the net every day and watching YouTube but im obviously missing or overthinking this.

@deepee Glad to hear that you're making progress. I wish I had more to offer, but I don't think I'm half the cockpit builder that you already are. As far as my software is concerned, a value of 2 means "acknowledged". It's a simple software latch, so...

0 = No caution condition exists.
1 = A caution condition exists, and has not been acknowledged.
2 = A caution condition exists, and has been acknowledged.

Maybe I overcomplicated it with that last part, but I want to make sure you have all the information you need. I hope that helps. Let me know if there is anything else I can do for you!

OMG, that's so cool 🥰 when can I visit you ?

If youre ever in australia stay the night.
I worked out how to manage the three light states. Mobiflight compare tab. Probably should have read the instructions.

Thanks for the great offer, but it's a little too far away... I'm from Bavaria/Germany. And my wife is terrified of spiders So maybe in the next life - but who knows....
