FSX/FSX-SE Aircraft and Panel Design Forum - How To

Hi All,is it possible to limit the throttle range with a XML Gauge? The reason for this asking is that I'm making a new Panel which have this function to provide a too high N1/Torque and EGT. It's not an Autothrottle just a limiter. I saw such a function in the Dash 8 (?) Panel, so I think it should be possible. Does anybody know how to realize this?Best RegardsMatthias

What is "aircraft.radius" in the reference parts section used for? I noticed it used in the anim demo, and I figured it would let FS now how big the aircraft was for the purpose of choosing parking at airports. However, when I used it in my project, I noticed that it edited the aircraft.cfg file, but when I checked, there was no section where this would be used. When I use this part, is it affecting the model itself? - Martin

just wanted to share some projects I've been workin on apart from Posky.1) Concept racer2)My rendition of a Starwars podracer (not done yet)Lee

I was wondering if anyone knows if Project Gmax has a website out yet? I would like to check out the progress of the MD-80 series jets to see how they are coming along. Any info would be appreciatedThank You,

I have done my first custom panel. I think that I could have done a better job but I am very new to panel design. I hope you guys like my work so far.

Hi Guys,I'm hoping someone can tell me what I'm doing wrong here. When I paint the fuse in GMAX it looks fine - but when I export it to FS2002 it comes out looking like this :(.It is supposed to be a BAE ATP - but at the moment it has this awful translucent look to it... Very frustrating.The texture is DXT3Hope you guys have some ideas?Thanks,Julian

I am using DxtBMP and Photoshop. When i load the Alpha Channel to DxtBMP after editing its showing normal on the alpha window, but after saving and reloading the texture the Alpha Channel is all black. What is the Problem? What can i do?-------------------------------------------best,

Hi, everyone.I

Can someone please tell me how I can transfer the flight dynamics from an aircraft to another?I want to do this because one of my aircrafts has a beautiful visual model but poor flight dynamics, and I'd like to get them from another aircraft.Does it work if I simply copy the .air file and adjust the contact points in aircraft.cfg?Thanks for any info.Eric

The last time I made a set of doors they all opened together with shift-E. This time, if it is possible, I would like to make doors open separately. Can that be done with FSDS2?Thanks,John Woodward

I have lost a gauge that I have been using for some time. If anyone has this guage (CPT.PSSND.gau) please be so kind to send it to me via e-mail or point me to a d/l link. Thanks! Happy New Year! !!!!2003!!!!Glen Lewis :[email protected]

HiI have done the 2D cockpit and am now working on the V cockpitThought you might like to see a picture.Happy new Year to everyone. I hope it brings you good timesRegardsJohn

Hi,I want to use several or expressions in visible statement. What the syntax like for that? What I would like to do is make it visible if flaps index is 2 or 3 or 4.((A:Flaps handle index,number) 2 == 3 == 4 == || ||BrgdsEugen

Hi there,I'm trying to model the Visionair Vantage. It's the first time that I'm modeling an aircaft. While looking at the rough model in fs2002, I noticed that one of the engine intakes doesn't have the correct light projection. Is that ok? How to fix it?Thanks!

Does anyone have a working email address for the POSky team?And/or does anyone know if there are blank repaint textures available for the POSky C-17 Globemaster III?I can't find either on POSky's websites. (which are both a mess right now...)Thanks,Brian.

i've downloaded the new pushback gauge and it is not working at all. i do not even see the button or icon that i should press. one more thing... does anyone know the coordinates for all the panels for fs2002.

Hi,I have experienced a strange thing about radio height it says 11 feet on ground but if I change panel to a couple of others it says 0. Is there a aircraft height that should be withdrawn?BrgdsEugen(A:Radio height, feet) 2500 <= %((P:Units of measure, enum) 2 == if{ (A:Radio height, meters) } els{ (A:Radio height, feet) } d 2500 <= )%{if}%(1 /)%!04d!0%{end}

Hi,I am working on a xml gauge and I wonder if it is possible get the following values;ILS ident, ILS frequency,ILS course and ILS-DME distanceBrgdsEugen

Hi,I am stuck with some xml code that I cant get to work. Seems that only the airspeed is shown ??any help is very appreciated.BrgdsEugen %((A:Airspeed select indicated or true, knots) (A:Total weight, lbs) 100000 - 1000 / 0.914 * 171 +)-)%!05d!(A:indicated or true, knots)((A:Total weight, lbs) 100000 - 1000 / 0.914 * 171 +) -

I have finally gotten around to checking the stats for the website... and found out what brought my website down...12,886: 18.73%: Nov/26/02 3:28 PM: /frbill/FS2002_Socata_Project/TB20GT_1.zipAs of Nov 26, 2002 at 3:28 PM, 12,886 people had downloaded the Socata! That's *far* more than I had 'guestimated' based on file size alone...I'll never make that mistake again! :)

Hallo,Just downloaded Matthias' "Cold and dark startup gauge"Probably i did something wrong, with install.What happened:Landing in the dark i lost all electrical- etc. power right after touch-down.(A:Sim on the ground.....????????What did i or is wrong?I installed the following code in a bigger gauge:.............(G:Var1) 0 == (A:Sim On Ground, bool) && if{ 0 (>K:MIXTURE_LEAN) (>K:FUEL_SELECTOR_OFF) (>K:FUEL_SELECTOR_2_OFF) 0 (>K:TOGGLE_ALTERNATOR1) 0 (>K:TOGGLE_ALTERNATOR2) 0 (>K:TOGGLE_ALTERNATOR3) 0 (>K:TOGGLE_ALTERNATOR4) 0 (>K:ALL_LIGHTS_TOGGLE) 0 (>K:TOGGLE_AVIONICS_MASTER) 0 (>K:TOGGLE_MASTER_BATTERY) 1 (>G:Var1) }.........N…

I need to add 460 to Eng1 Exhaust Gas Temperature,farenheit) in order to correct an improper value being reported by the token variable, but need to display ambient temperature farenheit when the engine is off.

Like the title says... anybody know where I can get a 3-View drawing of a Cessna 152? I know a person was looking for a C-150...I've looked all over the web, and couldn't find anything. It was probably right in front of me .Any help would be appreciated!!---------------------------------Jeff Merver :-beerchug :-waveKSQL - San Carlos :-sun1

I have a created a right tire, and copied it and flipped it over the X axis. It looks great, same shape, same placement on opposite side, but when I animated it, it turned backwards. Anyone know what I can do to correct this? The tire goes through some rather complex movements during extension and retraction so I am hoping to not have to rebuild and reanimate it through all the sequences. Thanks

Hi friends! I need some help here... Is There a way to do 32-bit reflective textures? Because I have already tried It in DXTBMP, I opened the texture in 24bit and the I put an Alpha texture, and then saved it in Extendend 32bit 888-8, after this I extracted the mipmaps in IMAGETOOL and i went check the textures in FS, but there wasn't reflective textures. Anybody can helpme?Thanks!Regards,Rodrigo.
