Tourque % is 0? #6

Open sonicviz opened 2 years ago

sonicviz commented 2 years ago

I was testing V0.36B30 last night and torque % was showing 0, but torque regular was ok.

Also a g reading might be useful too.

bm98 commented 2 years ago

Would you know which aircraft it was? Sometimes the available values depend on the acft implementation. I'll put G on the todo list..

sonicviz commented 2 years ago

I think it was either a T-6 or P-51 from the Reno dlcSent from my Galaxy smartphone. -------- Original message --------From: bm98 @.> Date: 22/11/21 7:51 pm (GMT+09:00) To: bm98/FS20_HudBar @.> Cc: Paul Cohen @.>, Author @.> Subject: Re: [bm98/FS20_HudBar] Tourque % is 0?

Also, would it be possible to allow numeric input of some settings and click to set them, such as throttle %? eg: being able to set preset groups of settings such Throttle %, Prop %, Mixture %, Fuel etc would also be useful, to quickly put an aircraft into a control state with multiple settings rather than have to click through individually. The use case here is quickly testing an aircraft with different settings to see how it performs.

Where are the configs stored btw? Is it possible to back them up?

bm98 commented 2 years ago

Configs are stored here:

C:\Users\\AppData\Local\FS20_HudBar\FS20_HudBar.exeUrl\\user.config I use the .Net facility for the AppSettings. Shortcut is also %LOCALAPPDATA%\FS20_HudBar

For the Throttle etc. settings this opens a whole new scope for the Bar... which I am not entirely sure it fits. I'd rather create a small App to have this in (using the libraries at hand already) Is such a way there is way more freedom and it will not overload the Bar App which is already a bit more than it was thought to be in the first place...

So what is your thinking of a profile then. Having a set of property values to set all together (i.e. Thr 80, Mix 50, Prop 67, ... as Profile 1 etc.) or having Thr. 20,30,60,100 separate from Mix... and others ?? btw what are the control inputs needed then I see Thr. Prop. Mix. but what would be your "Fuel etc." then ? Regs

Thanks.

I guess you could do either. The concept is similar to how you create setups for cars in simracing, except in this case it's flight profiles. You can do it manually, but it takes time.

I would imagine an interface which lets you "having Thr. 20,30,60,100 separate from Mix... and others " and then save all the settings together a la " Having a set of property values to set all together (i.e. Thr 80, Mix 50, Prop 67, ... as Profile 1 etc.)" which would constitute a "preset" to load/save all at once.

btw what are the control inputs needed then I see Thr. Prop. Mix. but what would be your "Fuel etc." then ?

Thr Prop Mic Fuel % (little tricky as there can be multiple tanks with external tanks, so keep it simple intially?) Trims (E/A/R) Flaps Landing Gear?

enough to start with?

bm98 commented 2 years ago

Yes this might be enough for the moment :) Right now it looks like below - Cessna with Spoilers - well.... It seems possible to input all of them but MSFS is rather buggy and unpredictable what works and what not even depends on the Acft sometimes. It is GUI stuff only right now - next I need to hook it into the Simulator, reality check..

Hey, that looks pretty good.

Sim/SDK stability

I hear you there, 10x over. I started implementing a bunch of things, but have put them all back on hold. You can't even build/export scenery now, and it resets the assistance settings every time you build too. Working with the SDK is one of the most frustrating dev experiences I've ever had, and my hats off to any dev willing to endure the pain.

Very disappointing Asobo don't put more devs and QA into the SDK. As devs themselves, they should understand the need for frustration free and frictionless dev workflows, especially when you're iterating a concept.

You may try - attached a preview - extract in a folder and run.. - the pdf gives some guidance. FS20_CtrlProfiles-V0.1Build5.zip

Awesome, will do. ty. Will get back to you asap.
