Hi,

 

Not sure I will call it a bug, but still missing and deeply missed.

There is NO dataref for the MCP Verical Speed display.

It should be both a read and write dataref.

 

All other MCP displays, CRS_A, IAS/MACH, HDG, ALT, CRS_B are all OK. 

Urgent need in order to finalize hardware interface plugin.

 

If it is not hidding somewhere, please add it to your coming update.

Hei Stian,

 

Thanks for your reply.

The "ixeg/733/MCP/mcp_vs_target_act" is a counter that

maybe can be used. I did not see this earlier.

 

ixeg/733/MCP/mcp_vs_dial_ann,  I can't find, but you probably mean ixeg/733/MCP/mcp_vs_ann. This is the annunciator for the VS button.
ixeg/733/MCP/mcp_vert_speed_act. This is the VS button itself.

I had a futher look at how to use the dataRef  "ixeg/733/MCP/mcp_vs_target_act", but found no solution to my problem.

 

As this dataRef is only a counter , there is no way I can get the actual value of the VS in order to get a start value.

 

Too me it looks like when the plane loads, it has all the counter set to 0. So, if I write i.e. 10. to it it will increase the value 10 * step ( 50 below 1000 and 100 above 1000).

If the VS value was 1000 it will change to 2000.

But, as I have no way of getting the intial value , there is no way I can use this dataRef. This is because the VS value changes without the counter changes, when you are in a 

climb or a dive ( LVLCHG mode i.e.)

 

Hope the IXEG team can provide a solution to this problem.

Hi,

No, I do not have this dataRef.

 

Do I have an old version of the plane. I bought and downloaded it a few days ago. I even now installed the latest hotfix 1.07 .

But, still no not able to find the dataRef  ixeg/733/MCP/mcp_vs_dial_ann .

 

What do I do to get the version you have?

 

Added info:

I read the datarefs with the DataRefTool plugin as I am not able to get any ixeg datarefs with the Data Ref Editor plugin.Could it be taht it is there, but that I just can't find it with the above plugin?

Im using IXEG 1.0.7 also and the tool I used was DataRefEditor v12-11. 

You should be able to use the dataref in scripts etc even if you dont see it.

Hi,

 

I have it now. I added the dataref to my code and then it now shows up in the DataRefTool plugin also.

Very strange, but now I have it. I can swear that I did not had this prior to updating to hotfix 1.07 and added the dataref to my code.

This has taken me days.

Thanks for helping me to get this solved.
