avionics switch does not power down PropWash panels
snomhf replied to snomhf's topic in G1000 SR22 Series
Thanks for that Coop. I was afraid that would be your answer. I started thinking about a Lua script that would toggle the default avionics switch whenever the custom one changes state. I guess I'll have to dust that off and get back to it. Thanks for your response! -mark -
The instrument panels made by PropWashsim.com are designed to power off whenever the avionics switch is set in the off position (i.e. sim/cockpit/electrical/avionics_on -> 0). The SR22 is the only aircraft I have that does not do this. I assume it is because this plane uses a custom avionics dataref (afm/src/cmd/switches/avionics_Toggle) and the PropWash panels don't know to read that dataref. Would it be possible to fix this? I have to physically unplug my radio panels after flying the SR22 because it will not turn the panel off as all the other planes will. Thank you so much! -mark

I put a lot of time into working through some of the issues I have had with this great aircraft. Hoping others who have faced the same struggles might find this helpful. Enjoy! -mark

Take Command: SR22 G1000 Series v1.2.0 Update Released!
snomhf replied to Cameron's topic in G1000 SR22 Series
Thanks Coop. That's it. I am using a larger mouse cursor. The mouse pointer works fine if I don't pop the device. I guess I can just get used to not popping the panel out since it pops out in weird locations anyway. -
Take Command: SR22 G1000 Series v1.2.0 Update Released!
snomhf replied to Cameron's topic in G1000 SR22 Series
The hotspots for the G1000 buttons seem to be off (popped out, non-VR). I have to click just above the button for it to respond. This is new behavior to 1.2 -
I'm loving this airplane but I do wish the popout Garmins would remember the last position and size I set them at. When I fly IFR, I like to pop out both G1000s and position them side by side along the bottom so my old eyes can see them better. If I close them and pop them back out, they are big again and off in random positions. Can I get this in the pipeline for a future release please? Thanks so much!! -mark

torquesim sr 22 Torquesim sr 22 won't hot start cuts out when hot
snomhf replied to Rob Carson's topic in G1000 SR22 Series
I taxi this thing like I used to drive my old 1960 Chevy... 1500-1600rpm and just burn up the brakes. Scared to death to drop below that else it will stall! -
Good articles. Thanks for your help!

Ok, Ok, Ok! I got this! Stand back!! The truth is halfway between Lon and Attitude. I tried using the checklist Lon posted (from the real SR22 btw!) and took his advice to drop my throttle back a little from where I was setting it. It cranked 10-15 seconds and STARTED!! Then I followed Attitude's advice, replacing step 3 with on "On the 'R'" and it started up IMMEDIATELY! I tried it several more times just to make sure I didn't just get lucky and it worked EVERY time! So, the checklist as I have edited it above is the GOSPEL ACCORDING TO TORQUESIM! Forget the REAL checklist! I'm a happy camper. Don't change a thing else you draw back a nub!! Thanks fellas!! -mark

Lon, Yes, R1 is the most recent beta. It should have been named RC1 but I guess in their haste to get in and out before the Giant arrived, they didn't have time for the 'c'. I don't know what's going on. Once I learned to start this thing back when it first came out, I had no trouble starting it either. It's only been in the last couple of days that I have had major trouble. In fact, after all the interaction with Goofy on this, just this afternoon I got so frustrated that I finally just gave up. I thought menu->RESET should reset the plane to as if it has never been used but after meticulously following the procedure, it just cranked and cranked and cranked! I am major frustrated over this!

Sorry Goofy, I didn't make myself clear earlier. I was leaving the Fuel Pump on BOOST before using the plugin menu->PRIME and that was the problem. I am now setting that to OFF before I prime and that seems to be working better. Because this process is so ridiculous, I am working on a Lua script to start the plane. It first RESETs the plane and follows your process. I really hate to do this but I am so disgusted with struggling with this that I'm hoping this will make me want to fly this airplane. Thanks again for your help! -mark

Thanks Jean-Pierre, I did notice I had more luck using the menu-prime. One difference is I had the Fuel Pump on Boost rather than Off as you say. I'll try that. I still don't understand why I have suddenly started having so much trouble. It's really silly that this plane is this hard to start! I really love it once I finally get it started but since it is so much trouble, I usually talk mysyelf out of flying it. It's a shame really.

I don't know if it is 11.50R1 that is causing this. I am having a devil of a time starting this plane. Never really had trouble except at first when I was first learning it. Now, it absolutely won't start. I've been struggling almost an hour, rebooting, reloading, menu->RESET, menu->PRIME, coldstart, hotstart, floodstart, repeat. I finally got it started and it died on the way to the runway. I had it leaned for taxi and was trying to keep the rpms over 1000 but sometimes you accidentally pull back and it dies. This is really frustrating. I don't know why (since XP11.50R1 I think) I am suddenly not able to get this thing started. Ideas? thanks -mark

Very nice work Goofy. Great use of the datarefs.
