[Variable for Flight director state?]

I have never been able to find any exposed data value to use...  The FD1 var is the the variable that you use to actually trigger the FD1 On and OFF.  It is like the other _change events..  It will take the 1 fire the event and then instantly reset to 0...  For all the other FCP modes I found that I had to use the LED vars.. but since the FD does not have LEDs next to the buttons there does not seem to be a way to track this..

Yeah exactly what I did find too. It would be nice to have dedicated variable for example controlling LED on XTouch. I did some workaround for the led but it’s not fool proof.

[Variable for Flight director state?]

Hello,

 

Is there some variable available for reading if Flight Director is turned ON or OFF?

 

I have tried (L:ASCRJ_FCP_FD1, Number) but it doesn’t show state of FD, it’s always 0.

 

Also tried (A:AUTOPILOT FLIGHT DIRECTOR ACTIVE, Bool) but that doesn’t show state either.

@bLindyeThanks! This will make it much more manageable and easier to make changes. Earlier I couldn't figure out how to call scripts from other scripts - I understand how to do that now.

 

Yeah I believe it’s much better that way, 
especially with more complex scripts and if there’s scripts that sim processes directly (for example indexed variables).

Just for the info that if you have scripts which are not assigned to any buttons/knobs but are still in use, those will not be included in the template. So user needs to import scripts alongside of the template.

My template is bit outdated and there is better method for right rotary script.

Instead having all scripts in one file, separate them to own scripts and then in right rotary script call them. For example you would have script alt_inc with script that increases altitude, and same for hdg etc. Then in right rotary inc script you call that alt_inc script when left rotary is in alt position.

 

Here is example scripts for WT_CJ4 so you can see how it’s done.
