Set also isolation valve with cowl switch #4

Closed daniol closed 4 years ago

daniol commented 4 years ago

Currently the cowl switch is assigned to the left and right packs. It would be helpful to assign also the isolation valve to this switch, as this steps are done together in the checklists.

Cowl (open): L pack OFF (0) R pack OFF (0) Isolation valve OPEN (2)

Close: L pack AUTO (1) R pack AUTO (1) Isolation valve AUTO (1)

Datarefs:

LEFT PACK          0-off, 1-auto, 2-high          laminar/B738/air/l_pack_pos
RIGHT PACK         0-off, 1-auto, 2-high          laminar/B738/air/r_pack_pos
ISOLATION VALVE    0-close, 1-auto, 2-open        laminar/B738/air/isolation_valve_pos

Commands:

laminar/B738/toggle_switch/l_pack_up        L PACK up
laminar/B738/toggle_switch/l_pack_dn        L PACK down
laminar/B738/toggle_switch/r_pack_up        R PACK up
laminar/B738/toggle_switch/r_pack_dn        R PACK down
laminar/B738/toggle_switch/iso_valve_up     ISOLATION VALVE up
laminar/B738/toggle_switch/iso_valve_dn     ISOLATION VALVE down

@daniol, are you sure about procedure with isolation valve? I seem to remember that in start engine, only packs are switched off and isolation valve is auto. Could you verify in clist.txt (xcheklist) deployed with zibo?. I’m not sure, so if you are right, do it.

You are right. I've found the following references on the Zibo Checklist (Clist.txt):

I was using the short checklist from Fly.aero virtual, which only contains the basics and isn't such detailed: https://flyuk.aero/assets/downloads/resources/checklists/UKV-PRD-B737-CHECKLIST-V2.pdf

The position of the isolation valve does not have any effect on X-Plane, however I will revert my changes, to prevent confusion and add more realism.
