Generator Switch and Inertial Separator Animations

[hangar_101]

@miller39687
Inertial Separator
B:HANDLING_INERTSEP (1 - ON / 0 - OFF) - Animation works just fine.

@hangar_101 Thank you! I will try that when I get a chance to sit down at the simulator again! I had used the L:XMLVAR_InterSep listed in the manual. It worked, but without the handle animation.

@miller39687 For the generator switch, in CaravanProfessional_INT.XML (there will be two such files in your community folder if you have the bundle), search for the line...

<CODE_POS_2> 2 (&gt;L:var_GeneratorSwitch, number) </CODE_POS_2>

Immediately afterwards, add:

<OVERRIDE_ANIM_CODE>
	(L:var_GeneratorSwitch, number) 1 == if{
		0
	}
	els{
		(L:var_GeneratorSwitch, number) 2 == if{
			200
		}
		els{
			100
		}
	}
</OVERRIDE_ANIM_CODE>

For the inertial seperator, search for ASOBO_HANDLING_Lever_InertSep_Template. Delete this block of code (from <UseTemplate Name... to </UseTemplate>, and replace it with...

<Component ID="HANDLING_Lever_InertSep" Node="HANDLING_Lever_InertSep">
	<UseTemplate Name="ASOBO_GT_Switch_Code">
		<ANIM_NAME>HANDLING_Lever_InertSep</ANIM_NAME>
		<NODE_ID>HANDLING_Lever_InertSep</NODE_ID>
		<PART_ID>HANDLING_Lever_InertSep</PART_ID>
		<LEFT_SINGLE_CODE>
			(L:XMLVAR_InterSep, bool) ! (&gt;L:XMLVAR_InterSep, bool)
		</LEFT_SINGLE_CODE>
		<ANIM_CODE>(L:XMLVAR_InterSep, bool) 100 *</ANIM_CODE>
		<ANIM_LAG>100</ANIM_LAG>

		<WWISE_EVENT_1>Caravan_Bypass_On</WWISE_EVENT_1>
		<WWISE_EVENT_2>Caravan_Bypass_Off</WWISE_EVENT_2>

		<TOOLTIP_TITLE></TOOLTIP_TITLE>
		<TOOLTIPID>Inertial Seperator</TOOLTIPID>
	</UseTemplate>
</Component>

Let me know if you need any help with that! Always happy to fix these things for anyone willing to edit a couple lines of code

@Black-Square thank you for sharing this piece of code — it worked perfectly.

[miller39687]

@Black-Square Thank you again! Last night I tried your suggestion of B:HANDLING_InertSep_Toggle, and it worked perfectly, so I will likely leave that one as it is for now.
I will give the code for the generator switch a try the next time I'm at my simulator! Since @hangar_101 had success with it, it will completely depend on my ability to follow your instructions!
FYI, I'm loving your Caravan Professional so much that this is the switch box I invested in to increase my immersion!

@miller39687

What brand/model switch box is this?

[miller39687]

@Chimaeira to avoid a post that may be taken as advertising, I'll just say to do a search on ETSY for "cessna caravan switch panel". Fair warning, it isn't cheap, but is VERY well made!

[miller39687]

@Black-Square Last night I had time to add the code you provided for the generator switch. It worked flawlessly! Thank you very much!

[Chimaeira]

@miller39687 Not cheap indeed Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

[miller39687]

@Chimaeira Yes, I muddled it over for a while before deciding to purchase one. Glad I did though, it is a nice piece of hardware.
