TBM 900 Throttle Position Switch/Axis implementation

[N1EL]

Yes works nicely,  I removed the link to the flaps dataref as I have them set elsewhere.

Thanks.

Hi all, Im back, lol

It works a well but I notice that when I start the sim and it first loads the throttle is in flight idle when the actual physical unit is in the cut off.

It needs a slight movement of the throttle to jump to the cut off position.

Is it possible to adapt that lua script above to not include flaps info? maybe that has something to do with it when i deleted part for the flap dataref info.

Any ideas?

You can comment out the lines you don't want or need by putting two dash lines at the start.  If you're using Notepad++ (and you should), the text will then turn green.  Green text is ignored.

I'm not sure what your issue is, maybe it has something to do with the lever you've mapped out as I've never had this issue.  To check if it is indeed your hardware, remove the two dash lines on the do_every_draw("writevalues()") line and it'll show you the actual readings from your hardware.

Hi Guys

I am trying to config my Saitek trhottle using Ch. Cole LUA script to define mixture1. 

I am having dificulties to understand whit is the trhottle id. If you look at my Lua Debug Script my tres joysticks assume the same ID = 0 , 1 or 2.  Any one could help me? I need to know whitch number use i the script instead ok 28.

Thnaks a lot, Bernardo

Did you try the script as-is? The 28 should just be the internal axis number X-Plane assigns to the Mixture 1 (the "1" is important!) axis, so no need for you to change it.

If it doesn't work, you can remove the two dashes in line six in the lua-file (in front of do_every_draw), so you get a raw data output on the left side of the screen that will help us to find the issue.

Hi Guys,

I just got the Honeycomb Bravo TQ today and I'm playing around with it and I'm stuck with setting the power lever with the TQ. The throttle (unfeathered) side is fine, it's the feathered side where I'm challenged. As best I can make out, I can use the 'Mixture' lever to control from Lo to Hi and back, but I can't get it into cutoff despite using the command mixture cutoff.

Has anyone been able to set this up on the Honeycomb Bravo TQ? I'm wondering if I need to make an adjustment to the response curve?

No mate I haven’t - since posting my question, turns out there’s a fix coming out for us Mac users of the Bravo so will wait and see how that goes, let the dust settle for a bit then come back to this - it’s no biggie, I just use the mouse to drag the throttle to ECO and I’m fine with that.

Kudos to the guys who created this AC - love the level of immersion I get from this - well done to all.

Hey guys, thank you for the LUA file, works pretty good! One thing, is it possible to assign the cut off to the reverse button on the throttle instead of it being on the axis? Thank you!

Sorry for the late reply, yes, that should be possible. Assign the command sim/engines/mixture_down to the button, and change the line " if mixthandle > SetTo and mixthandle < 4 then " to ... <3.

I hope that works...

Hi guys,

Many thanks for the lua file ! it's exactly what I'm looking for a long time... Also I would like to get the reverse on (tbm900/systems/engine/range = 5) when throttle 1 is in reverse mode with bravo honey comb ? Do you know how I can do it ? I tried to edit your lua file but without success for now....

 

Maybe I found a dataref that can be used for this : sim/cockpit/warnings/autopilot_test_ap_lit

and the associated command : sim/autopilot/test

Thank you !
