cw777

is there an apt.dat file for all airports? How can I read it from a init.ua gizmo script?

Was checking datarefs, and there is not one for origin airport. After selecting location, how can you get the airport name / ICAO?

There isn't a problem in code - as it does not let me in datarefeditor either (and code manages to change others just fine). So i guess a dead end here...? Thanks for the help regardless.

Yes - that must be it. Even though, If i adjust it via the menu, it does work. Surely there is something i am missing...?

So, I have just tried out the datarefeditor and have got some more hints. In all normal aircraft, i can change the fuel tank weight values. But not in the 777. After some more testing in the shell, etc, there is clearly something unsetting my dataref and putting it back to the orignal value...even though I can adjust the weight and fuel normally in the menu. Any work around or possible reasons?

When i output the dataref, it does show as changed. but when i then look in the flight systems and menu, it hasn't. Do i need to make a custom one like yours? Did you try changing the dataref that ive been trying or do you mean the ones you have?

From what I can see, you seem to be updating custom fuel datarefs? How do these end up corresponding to the actual aircrafts weight and fuel? Cheers for the help.

Hello again, I hope its okay Im posting quite a few questions - have no where else to go. I have been trying for a few hours to simply fuel the aircaft via the dataref value sim/flightmodel/weight/m_fuel1 . this is the only changeable dataref that relates to the fuel quantities in the menu "weight & fuel ". When I set it (float), it does set (i see it correctly when output) However, it does not actually give the plane more fuel or show differently in the menu for fuel quantities. Must be missing something...is there some sort of refresh/update process i need to do for this? Any ides?

Ah fair enough. Thought that might be the case. So at the moment all text (within window) is labels? I cant imagine having many many label widgets will slow things down will it?

How can I create the same affect as the gimzo console (scrollable, lines and lines of dynamically added text etc)

Turns out I needed to call gui.setWindowSize( window, 100,100, 640,480), presumably so that the widget positions were relevant. Just a side question, do you know how to add a big pararaph of text instead of just a label? I want to add lots of text into a sub window (like a console actually).

consoleWindow = gui.newWindow("another_console") function another_console_OnCreate() gui.setWindowCaption(consoleWindow, "TITLE") textFieldDest = gui.newTextBox(consoleWindow, "test ", "Default VAlue", 0, 0, 10) headerMsg = "Welcome"; headerMsgWidget = gui.newLabel(consoleWindow, "tset", headerMsg, 20,20, 100) gui.showWidget(textFieldDest) gui.showWidget(headerMsgWidget) gui.showWindow(consoleWindow) end New to all this! I do get my window with a title, but It does not show the text box or label...am stumped. Cheers for any help.

When you select your global airport, every single airport has an image that looks like this (attached). Where are these stored? Where can I access overview images that are this simple (no annotations, only two colors, etc) if not on X-Plane? Cheers
