cellular 1 Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 Hi, I'm building my own tool to simulate a copilot on CRJ and I'm trying to have the AP course, heading, speed, alt , VS automatically set (i.e. speed 250). To do that I have tried to set (through LUA) local variables related the AP (i.e. for the speed ASCRJ_FCP_SPEED_INFO), but it seems that those variables are only in read mode and does not change the values. Using other variables (i.e. ASCRJ_FCP_SPEED_CHANGE), if I set an increment of 210, the value is changed to 400. Is there a way to have this done? Am I doing something wrong? Thanks and KR Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Developer Hans Hartmann 3693 Posted October 31, 2019 Developer Share Posted October 31, 2019 ASCRJ_FCP_SPEED_INFO is the tooltip text for the speed knob ASCRJ_FCP_SPEED_CHANGE is a delta value, it shows by how much (in knots) the speed has changed (for example +2 knots). It's automatically reset to zero as soon as its value has been read by the DLL . There's no direct FCP SPEED variable available. I hope this helps.

cellular 1 Posted October 31, 2019 Author Share Posted October 31, 2019 Hi, thanks for the replay. I have tried to set the AP speed to 250 when on ground using the variable ASCRJ_FCP_SPEED_CHANGE increasing it +210 (as the AP speed is showing 40), but the result is that the AP speed goes immediately to 400 and not to 250. Is there a reason for that or I'm doing something wrong? Thanks and KR Giuseppe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Developer Hans Hartmann 3693 Posted October 31, 2019 Developer Share Posted October 31, 2019 All knob have an acceleration. So you might want to make the change slowly and not in one go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
