GPU Dataref

[Richard Wallis]

The 1.6 update is much appreciated. Its now my favourite x-plane aircraft again. It is great for us nerds that you make so many commands directly and comprehensively available from the X-plane menus and others can be easily found using datareftool. I know cocpkit builders are a pain in the ****!

Looking to eliminate screen/mouse inputs as far as possible. One item so far niggling my new build:-

I have been unable to override LES/saab/gpu/power_available to toggle the GPU on and off directly (not via the GUI) , but rather by direct user interface to the variable. Other ground objects can be written.  Am I correct that this is the current functionality and if so are you aware of any workaround?

 

Regards

As of v1.6.x many datarefs are now non-writeable.  When v2.0 is released all datarefs will be non-writeable.  

I will make a note to look into creating a command for the GPU (available) but I can't promise what version of the Saab this will be included in.

Hi JGregory. 

So, probably the end of shared cockpit.

I don't use or even own that software so I can't really comment.  However, in Saab v1.6.x all manipulators (except for some levers) are non-writeable. And all of them have associated commands, which is the right way to interact with the cockpit.  So, if shared cockpit is working now then you should be fine.

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly to answer my query.

It certainly makes sense to interact with commands only to changethe datarefs so the designer can ensure its a robust model.

Best wishes and thanks again for all your efforts.

Great support. Thank you. We can live as it is waiting for the upcoming V2.
