Ch.Cole Posted February 26, 2021 Report Posted February 26, 2021 (edited) Hi, I threw together a quick script that allows you to bind two commands (FlyWithLua/SF34/PitchWheel_up and ..dn) to a button that allow you to simulate the pitch wheel in both IAS and VS mode. Minor issue is that the IAS gets changed in increments of 2kts. Solved with update, see below. Feedback is welcome. Edited March 3, 2021 by Ch.Cole updated file 1 1 Quote
mgchrist5 Posted February 26, 2021 Report Posted February 26, 2021 I just tested it briefly on my setup, and it appears to work beautifully in both IAS and VS modes. Many thanks for sharing this! It really does ease the workload nicely. Quote
Tim013 Posted February 26, 2021 Report Posted February 26, 2021 Why not just bind the X-Plane autopilot pitch commands, instead of using a LUA script? Quote

Besause that does not work, as far as I tested. You have different commands. change the airspeed in IAS and the VS in VS-mode. Quote
Ch.Cole Posted March 3, 2021 Author Report Posted March 3, 2021 script updated to use the same commands that manually using the pitch wheel uses: les/sf34a/acft/inst/mnp/airspeed_ind_bug_knob_dn_pilot les/sf34a/acft/inst/mnp/airspeed_ind_bug_knob_up_pilot sim/autopilot/vertical_speed_up sim/autopilot/vertical_speed_down SF34 Pitch.lua Quote
Prosco Posted March 3, 2021 Report Posted March 3, 2021 Hello, I just bought the LES SAAB 340A (Sunday 28) and so as not to miss the screen especially in the critical phases (T / O at FL100 and FL100 at landing), I fly the planes from my hangar with a lot of keyboard shortcuts . I just saw your script which interests me a lot and thank you in advance for sharing it. If you have made others for the SAAB 340 where can I find them? Thanks in advance. Quote

Hi Ch.Cole, I hope you dont mind I have modified your script to allow quick scrolling and added a command for vertical mode switching. Am I ok to attach here? Quote

sirtopper Posted March 4, 2021 Report Posted March 4, 2021 (edited) Added script to allow quick scrolling by holding down the assigned button and added a command for vertical mode switch. Switches between IAS and VS but only if one of them is selected. Also added heading bug scroll. I know there are commands but for me it sometimes skipped degrees. You can assign these commands FlyWithLua/SF34/PitchWheel_dn FlyWithLua/SF34/PitchWheel_up FlyWithLua/SF34/Vert_Mode_Switch FlyWithLua/SF34/Heading_Bug_Dn FlyWithLua/SF34/Heading_Bug_Up SF34 Pitch.lua Edited March 4, 2021 by sirtopper upload new file Quote
