Problem with KNS81 mapping

[GunStrauss]

Both the KNS-81 and -80 still requires some manual edits to get proper output for the LVARS when the navigation aids are not in range. I'm coming back to you when I know more! Best, GS

[GunStrauss]

From the developer:

KNS80:
Move the three lines containing, "var_RNAV_WAYPOINT_NUMBER", "var_RNAV_RADIAL_NUMBER", and "var_RNAV_DISTANCE_NUMBER" up a couple of lines in KNS80.js so that they are right after the function declaration "sendRnavVariables(){"

KNS81:
Replacing all the code between the line: "sendRnavVariables(){", and the line: "sendAutopilotVariables(){"...

SimVar.SetSimVarValue("L:var_RNAV_WAYPOINT_NUMBER", "number", this.displayChannel);

if(SimVar.GetSimVarValue("NAV HAS DME:"+this.navSourceIndex, "Bool") && SimVar.GetSimVarValue("NAV SIGNAL:"+this.navSourceIndex, "number")){

    if(!SimVar.GetSimVarValue("L:var_RNAV_CHECKMODE", "bool")){
        SimVar.SetSimVarValue("L:var_RNAV_RADIAL_NUMBER", "number", this.memoryRadials[this.displayChannel - 1]);
        SimVar.SetSimVarValue("L:var_RNAV_DISTANCE_NUMBER", "number", this.memoryOffsets[this.displayChannel - 1]);
    }
    else{
        SimVar.SetSimVarValue("L:var_RNAV_RADIAL_NUMBER", "number", (this.actualVorRadialDegrees + 180) % 360);
        SimVar.SetSimVarValue("L:var_RNAV_DISTANCE_NUMBER", "number", this.interpolatedDmeRange);
    }   

    SimVar.SetSimVarValue("L:var_RNAV_BEARING", "number", this.rnavBearing);

    //console.log("Sending CDI Value: " + this.rnavAngularDeviation + " --> " + (Math.max(Math.min(this.rnavAngularDeviation, 12.0), -12.0) * 10.583333) );

        break;

    SimVar.SetSimVarValue("L:var_RNAV_TOFROM", "number", this.toFromFlag);

Hi, @GunStrauss , first at all a big THANK YOU for your kind and generous help. I am really touched.

I have put the code you sen to me in my KNS81.js file. I hope I have done well the replacement you suggest. This is the result:

send__ThisLineIsOnlyForAvoidingTheBoxCodeProblem__(){
sendRnavVariables(){
	
    SimVar.SetSimVarValue("L:var_RNAV_WAYPOINT_NUMBER", "number", this.displayChannel);
	
        if(SimVar.GetSimVarValue("NAV HAS DME:"+this.navSourceIndex, "Bool") && SimVar.GetSimVarValue("NAV SIGNAL:"+this.navSourceIndex, "number")){

        if(!SimVar.GetSimVarValue("L:var_RNAV_CHECKMODE", "bool")){
            SimVar.SetSimVarValue("L:var_RNAV_RADIAL_NUMBER", "number", this.memoryRadials[this.displayChannel - 1]);
            SimVar.SetSimVarValue("L:var_RNAV_DISTANCE_NUMBER", "number", this.memoryOffsets[this.displayChannel - 1]);
        }
        else{
            SimVar.SetSimVarValue("L:var_RNAV_RADIAL_NUMBER", "number", (this.actualVorRadialDegrees + 180) % 360);

    sendAutopilotVariables(){

And I must say that it has worked for the RADIAL and DISTANCE vars, now I can access to them and show their values.

The only remaining problem is the WAYPOINT_NUMBER var, I have not been able to find it. I feel that I am abusing your trust, but I would like to ask you if you find any possible cause for this absence.

Thanks again for your unvaluable help and best regards,

Félix FdC

[GunStrauss]

@felixfer No problem, but not sure if I understand why you don't get the waypoint number. I belive this is the piece of code that makes the waypoint number display:

SimVar.SetSimVarValue("L:var_RNAV_WAYPOINT_NUMBER", "number", this.displayChannel);

My post (where the code is weirdly formatted) is taken directly from the .js file running on my system. Are you using the latest build? What aircraft?

[felixfer]

Hi again, @GunStrauss . Sorry for my mistake before. I just reloaded the sim and the Waypoint_Number Var was there, indeed. Now I can have almost all the KNS81 values in my Loupedeck. Thanks again for all your support.

P.S. My aircraft is the Analog Baron, by the way

[GunStrauss]

I'm happy you got it to work!

[felixfer]

Hi @GunStrauss , I have installed the Analog Baron 1.2 update. Do you think that the manual editing in the file "KNS80.js" is still necessary? Thanks in advance
