Good news! Hope I can convince you to do a 340 as well. It's just a nacelle replacement. Thanks, Hi Tom, do you think about this? A upgraded Cv-340 from 1955 at Munich-Riem late sixties. This ship were kept in Lufthansa service until 1968. Because this type is without radar the main panel is different. In FSX I add two camera positions, to observe the engine start. Cheers Bernie

include the paints I did for Caribair in the release. I can't remember if I did them just for Aharon or if I did a general release. You were kind to paint Caribair liveries for me Regards, Aharon

What we need is CV-640!

Hi Bjoern, would be nice to this three-dimensional views. Do you still have my e-mail adress? I think yes. Will send the drawings to you tomorrow. Not really. Movement is influenced by aircraft velocity though and keep in mind that only the weather at the current altitude is considered. Yup. A custom variable. I haven't modeled for FS9 in years, but I think Tom may be able to help you out with some code for the "Makemdl.parts.xml". Otherwise, I'll have to dig through my old 737 source files.

The only limitation of a custom variable is that they will be extended only by throwing the switch, not by pressing Shift-W. There is a way to do that with an On Event statement, but I have never used one.

Hi, got this fixed by using a custom variable, sigh!
But Tom I have an other question: What variable definition from the Makemdl.parts.xml you use for the propeller blades?
I use "lever_prop_pitch1" and "lever_prop_pitch2", which works fine with the Ctrl-F1 until Ctrl-F4 but not with your feather gauges.
Cheers Bernie

Hi,
It's lever_prop_pitch0 and lever_prop_pitch_1
Hope this helps,

Almost right Thanks Tom!

Since Tom mentioned capturing events:
<Gauge Name="Key Control"> <Keys> <On Event="TOGGLE_WATER_RUDDER"> (L:Your custom variable, variableunit) ! (>L:Your custom variable, variableunit) </On> </Keys> </Gauge>
Run this as a gauge in the 2D and VC panel and it will toggle your variable when the key associated with the water rudder event is pressed. It can even be configured to react to specific keyboard keys with "<On Key="[ASCII key number]">". Will make life a lot easier if you've got some out-of-the box cockpit switch logic.

Hi Bjoern,
I guess I meant an OnKey statement using an L: variable, since he wants to avoid the water rudder altogether. Possible?
I'm not sure you can trigger this from outside the cockpit, though.

Thanks, no big deal. I added this 2 parts to Makemdl.parts.xml:
The first part is for the cockpit switch, the second for a small triangle wich controls the landing lights below the wings.
The extension/retraction animation of the lights are a bit fast. I tried to correct it with the "lag" parameter, but seems not to make any difference.
Cheers Bernie

Here is the formula for the lag value:
[Lag value] - Forumla used for determining a value for the lag parameter: [animation duration in seconds]=[number of keyframes for animation]/[lag value], e.g. 0.25 sec = 100 keyframes/400
So if you make the lag value smaller it will go slower.

Excellent, it works fine now! Any idea how to approach the animation of the propeller speed slide switch? I used this extracted from your gauge. But this logic seems not to be okey. Cheers Bernie
