208B Caravan Starter script for Spad.Next

Frankie_WC

Hi all,

I'm quite new to Spad.next and had been trying to mine the scripts for setting up starter switch in BKSQ 208B by using data monitor and event monitor and searching in forums. So far I found no solutions to it.

The LVar:XMLVAR_Starter_1 I found using data monitor seems to be able to switch the starter to 'on' position for a second but soon it switches itself back to 'normal/off'

Can someone please help me up on this? Thank you

Looking at the code for the Caravan, the starter switch actually uses an Asobo template, something which I have done away with completely in my more recent aircraft. This means that you can toggle the starter switch using the native events, or the B:Vars (if accessible from your hardware binding tool).

That's:

K:STARTER1_SET, or K:SET_STARTER1_HELD

or...

B:ENGINE_Ignition_1

Let me know if that does the trick for you! Always happy to help.

Thank you for your reply.

I have tried the following data and none of them work.

Set B:ENGINE_ENGINE_Push_Ignition to 1
Set B:ENGINE_Starter_Ignition_1 to 1
Set TURB ENG MASTER STARTER SWITCH to 1
Set GENERAL ENG STARTER ACTIVE to 1
Set GENERAL ENG STARTER ACTIVE:1 to 0
Set GENERAL ENG STARTER:1 to 1
Set MASTER IGNITION SWITCH to 1
Set TURB ENG IGNITION SWITCH EX1:1 to 1
Set TURB ENG IS IGNITING:1 to 1
Set B:ENGINE_ENGINE_Push_Ignition to 0
Set LVAR:XMLVAR_Starter1 to 0

And Engine_Ignition_1 controlls the ignition switch, but not the starter switch.

The only data that triggers the movement of the switch is LVar:XMLVAR_Starter_1 but unfortunately it does not stay on.

Might need a little more help here please.
