Saab 340A airspeed dataref

[gjeldridge]

Hi, I'm in the process of building Air Manager panels for the Saab 340A. To accomplish this properly, I need to write to the "les/sf34a/acft/inst/anm/airspeed_ind_bug_knob_pilot" dataref. Is there any way I can accomplish this?

TIA

Regards,

Greg

Can you use commands instead? 

les/sf34a/acft/inst/mnp/airspeed_ind_bug_knob_dn_pilot
les/sf34a/acft/inst/mnp/airspeed_ind_bug_knob_up_pilot

I have tried that, as well, but they don't seem to change the dataref value, either. Having said that, I would expect them to. I'll have a better look at the code tomorrow and get back to you.

It probably is something I'M doing wrong...

Thaks for the response

Regarrds,

Greg.

Animation datarefs in the Saab are not writable. You will need to use the commands as mentioned above. In addition to setting the animation value, those commands will set the sim dataref "sim/cockpit2/autopilot/airspeed_dial_kts".

Thank you for the response.

Yes, using the commands seems to have worked. I have no idea why I couldn't get it to work in the first place.

Thanks everybody for the help.
