  11. View jittering in WASD walk-around mode, but only within aircraft

    I  use the walkaround simulation using WASD keys. That works fine, until I set foot into the aircraft itself. As soon as I step onto the stairs, the screen starts randomly jittering and jerking around slightly, as if wind was constantly rattling the aircraft.

     

    It's not the wind, it's X-Plane 12 itself. Austin introduced a bug that causes the whole aircraft to jiggle around every so slightly on the wheels and this perturbs the camera. We are still waiting for a permanent fix, however it's worked around in the V1.8 beta.

  12. Question about CDU brightness control via Lua scripting

    I am using FlyWithLua for my own scripting of certain functionalities. I've tried to use the commands "CL650/CDU/1/brt_up" and "CL650/CDU/1/brt_down" from within Lua scripting, but sending these commands does not have any effect at all.

    At a guess, these commands have to be held down for multiple frames to see any change. They weren't really made to be called from scripts. You can look at using command_begin/end, not command_once, and maybe you can figure out a way to do what you're trying to do (whatever that is).

  13. APR INOP and DCU 1 APR FAIL

    I found this note after I reached altitude and tried the reset, but did not work for me.  I show both DCU-1 and DCU-2 INOP with the APR INOP above them.

    It's too late by then, the test can only be done on the ground. You just have to turn APR off.

    Thanks for the great answer. I am loving the realism supplied in this aircraft. My experience is in the Air Force and there we walk away and let mx do their work. You answer really puts me in charge of this whole flight. 

    Including refilling the oil reservoirs!

    I had this issue and the Ground Services menu had APU Battery Connection on it. I clicked on it and it got my battery back. Not sure what that is supposed to represent? If I had a bad battery, that was the ground guy charging it?  In any case, thanks for the clue. 

    In the real world it is normal for batteries in small aircraft and business jets to be disconnectable by the pilots or maintenance personnel. Leaving the batteries connected permanently will drain them and make them unusable. As such the CL650 addon simulates these connections being manipulated via selectable menu items. However, what is not currently simulated is the batteries being drained while the sim isn't running (but this will be added eventually). It is normal procedure to disconnect both main and APU batteries before leaving the aircraft parked overnight, for example.
