[Can't get the VDGS to work with Brussels]

Hi Ben,

 

Sorry for the delay. I tried this and it didn't help. Still having to load into an airport, run the driver manually and restart the flight. Doing it this way doesn't both me much at all. Takes an additional 30seconds out of a full 5+ minute load cycle, so as long as I remember to restart first, it's all good!! I just check the VDGS window appears before spending time setting up for a flight.

 

Any idea when VDGS will work with other Aerosoft airports?

 

Thanks,

Ollie

 

I'm having the same issue. Just installed this for EDDK and it wasn't loading. Restarting the flight fixed it. Thanks for the workaround

[EDDB Incorrect Taxiways]

Looking at the Navigraph airport chart, taxiway V3 and V4 are incorrectly labelled V1 and V2 in the scenery.

We are aware of this issue and will do what ever we can to assist to het this sorted out.

Thanks Mathijs. I, along with many others, have spent hours fine tuning our Axis and Ohs/Spad/Mobiflight templates for the CRJ (and other aircraft) and this bug has  certainly ruined my enjoyment of the sim...

I have been finding its very hit or miss on whether the animations work....it seems to get stuck somewhere. I've had some luck by going into a script, editting it and then changing it back and this can sometimes bring it all back to life again....not an exact science yet though

Thanks for the help, I tried your script, unfortunately the knob only turns once (ie on the first 'click' of the knob) and then doesn't rotate any more, however numbers still increase.decrease. It was the same with he ladning elevation knob as well, roattes on the first click then stops...

Scratch that, its all started working fine now....not sure what I did!

 

Thanks again for your help on this!

@daan_vb Try this for increment:

(L:ASCRJ_LSP_RANGE,·Number)·10·+·dnor·(>L:ASCRJ_LSP_RANGE,·Number)·(L:ASCRJ_LSP_RANGE_CHANGE,·Number)·++·(>L:ASCRJ_LSP_RANGE_CHANGE,·Number)

and for decrement:

(L:ASCRJ_LSP_RANGE,·Number)·10·-·dnor·(>L:ASCRJ_LSP_RANGE,·Number)·(L:ASCRJ_LSP_RANGE_CHANGE,·Number)·--·(>L:ASCRJ_LSP_RANGE_CHANGE,·Number)

 

 

It works like this:

ASCRJ_LSP_RANGE is the animation variable. You take the current value of the animation variable, add/subtract the rotation speed (10 degrees per click) and normalize (dnor) the value in positive degrees (0 - 359) - this is what you set to the animation variable.

ASCRJ_LSP_RANGE_CHANGE is the variable that actually sets the range value in the sim. You take the current value (which is almost always 0 when not changing), increment ++ /decrement -- by 1 to get the value 1/-1 which is what you set the variable to.

 

Also, make sure you are not leaving a space between the ++ operator. It is a unary operator meaning increment the previous operand by 1, as opposed to the + operator which is binary, meaning apply the operator between the previous two operands.

 

Hope that makes sense

Axis and Oh's Templates for Aerosoft CRJ 550/700

Hi! Here are a few Axis and Oh's templates for Aerosoft CRJ to use with the Honeycomb Alpha Yoke and Bravo Throttle Quadrant.

The following templates are provided:

• ASCRJ_YOKE_HCALPHA
• ASCRJ_TQ_HCBRAVO
• ASCRJ_FCP_HCBRAVO

Additional RPN scripts are also provided to customize your hardware setup.

 

Link: Flightsim.to • Axis and Oh's Templates for Aerosoft CRJ by FltsimFlyboy

 

Notable Features

• Cockpit animations and sounds associated with hardware controls
• Multiple interaction modals for controls - press, long press, press and hold, etc.
• Autopilot Flight Control Panel support
• Custom throttle lever bindings enabling SHUT OFF/IDLE movements
• Custom reverser bindings to automatically stow and disengage reversers when the handles are released (without the need to wiggle the levers)

 

Improved Throttle Operation!

You need to use the commercial 2-engine setup for the levers on the TQ, using the middle two slots. Before starting the aircraft, move the throttle levers down to the detent button position. This corresponds to the throttle SHUT OFF position. When you need to introduce fuel to the engine, simply push forward the levers out from the detent position to the axis low position. This corresponds to clicking the red guards and moving the throttle to the IDLE position to introduce fuel. You will see the red locks disengaging automatically and the throttles moving to the IDLE position. To cut fuel and turn off the engines, move the throttle levers back to the detent position. You will see the red guards lifting automatically and throttles moving to the SHUT OFF position.

To engage the thrust reversers, pull the reverser handles back. This corresponds to setting the maximum reverse thrust. To disengage reverse thrust, just release the reverser handles. This will set the engines to IDLE, like in the real aircraft.

Note:  No axis bindings are provided as part of the template. You need to set up your axis bindings according to Aerosoft's recommendation for the CRJ in the MSFS controls settings.

Thank you so much for this. The animation part of the scripts are amazing. I was wondering if you could help me. I'm trying to script the animation for the knobs on the Side Panel, (Format/Range, Height, Speeds etc) and I was trying to adapt the FCP scripts that you were using to try to get the animations to trigger when i rotate an encoder, however i can't seem to get them to work properly...any advice?

 

I can get the numbers to change but can't get the knobs to turn like they do on the FCP panel using your scripts. For example I tried this, it rotates the knob but not correctly, it spins once and then stops!

 

(L:ASCRJ_LSP_RANGE,·Number)·10·+·(>L:ASCRJ_LSP_RANGE,·Number)·(L:ASCRJ_LSP_RANGE_CHANGE,·Number)·+·+·(>L:ASCRJ_LSP_RANGE_CHANGE,·Number)

 

Thanks for any advice you can give me

 

[NAV struggling following DME Arc]

Ah ok, good to know. Looking forward to the next update then

[NAV struggling following DME Arc]

I have tried to do the ILS05 DME arc approach (via the INBAS transition which is the ARC) into Inverness twice today but the CRJ has struggled following the arc smoothly on both occasions. It doesn't fly directly to each waypoint on the ARC and instead aims to the left and right of the waypoints  and then completly misses the IAF. It doesn't fly a smooth arc....

[De-icing option]

Hi Oliver,

any reason why i am always getting the option then? Or how do i fix it so i don;t keep getting asked for deicing?

[De-icing option]

Hi there,

Is de-icing only offered as an option when it is cold or always offered regardless of temperature? I am currently flying in the UK and I am always offered the option for de-icing...

Is this correct?

[One airport, one pushback truck, different textures?]

Hi guys,

I was wondering if its possible to have a mix of different textures at the same airport for the same vehicle?

For example, can I have two types of pushback truck, lets say a mix of Iberia and Spanair textures or a mix of GateGourmet and LSG Skychefs catering trucks at the same airport?

So if I fly to Barcelona, sometimes I'll get an Iberia pushback truck and a gate gourmet and then another time I'll get a Spanair pushback and LSG catering or a mix of these combinations?

Thanks

Dan
