CS 757 III SDK and Spad.Next

[Hazza]

I have just started putting together a profile for this aircraft but have a query. In the 757 SDK it says to program a knob use the procedure below:

FOR KNOBS ( _KNO)
1. Convert the element's name into an ID number.
2. Add the - (minus) for counterclockwise rotation.
For example:
(L:klid) = 1702003 - clockwise rotation.
(L:klid) = -1702003 - counterclockwise rotation

No. 1 is easy but I am not sure how to configure the example in Spad.Next (e.g. set Alt on the MultiPanel).

Any advice greatly appreciated

I'm having trouble with this aircraft as well. I can't get the momentary buttons to work (like AP mode, HDG mode, SPD mode, VS mode, etc)

For the knobs-
ALT Simconnect event AP_ALT_VAR_INC/DEC works and LVAR G03_004_IND for display
VS Simconnect event AP_VS_VAR_INC/DEC works and LVAR G03_003_IND for display
IAS Simconnect event AP_SPD_VAR_INC/DEC works and LVAR G03_001_IND for display
HDG Simconnect event HEADING_BUG_INC/DEC works and LVAR G03_002_IND for display
CRS Can't seem to get a Simconnect event to work on this one LVAR G02_002_IND for display

[Hazza]

Yes,very sorry, I should have posted back:-(

I found those as well and for CRS I am using Simconnect VOR1_OBI_INC/DEC (Parameter 1, Format 000)

The main ones I'm struggling with now are the Yellow buttons (in Spad.Next).

[JasonPC]

I've been able to get them to depress visually, but their function doesn't work.

[JasonPC]

So the way it's supposed to work according to the LVAR log

For the NAV button and buttons in general:
LVAR:G03_011_BUT,LVAR:G03_011_BUT,G03_011_BUT (LVAR),0,1 depresses the button

LVAR:G03_011_LT0,LVAR:G03_011_LT0,G03_011_LT0 (LVAR),0,1 turns the light on

and about a second later...
LVAR:G03_011_BUT,LVAR:G03_011_BUT,G03_011_BUT (LVAR),1,0 toggles the button out of its depressed animation

however I cannot get Spad to correctly replicate this. What keeps happening is this
LVAR:G03_011_BUT,LVAR:G03_011_BUT,G03_011_BUT (LVAR),0,0 which sticks the button in a depressed position and doesn't light it up.

[JasonPC]

OK I think I have this figured out!

your example in the first post.
example:
(L:klid) = 1702003 - clockwise rotation.
(L:klid) = -1702003 - counterclockwise rotation

There is an LVAR named KLID. You need to set the value of the LVAR "KLID" to 1702003 to trigger a clockwise rotation of the knob.

Same would go for the momentary click of a button.

So in my case to trigger the NAV button the LVAR named KLID would be set to value 1703011

[Hazza]

You Sir, are a genius! I never even thought to search for KLID

[Hazza]

So, in case anyone else is looking at this I will share my WIP profile here and a PDF Map.

Please note it IS still a Work In Progress and obviously many of you will not use the same equipment and/or assignments. But it will provide a heads up for some.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR PROFILE

[Hazza]

OK, so I've done a bit of work on this profile. Just published the Profile online and will add it here.
