Cessna Warning Panel Offsets

[AK Mongo]

Husker,

I used a phidget led board with FS2phidget5 as the interface software. The logic basically checks the bus to see if there is power, if yes, then it checks individual fsuipc offsets to see if it is within a certain range (i.e engine 1 oil press >x or <y,) if not then it lights the associated hardware output.

It was a very versatile program, but support was cut off in favor of fs2phidget 4 and I was never able to teach myself how to use the older program.

Hi Reid,
what make are you using for your Cessna model,
std fsx , A2A, Flight 1
I want to use A2A but have a hard time finding solutions for Simkits instruments.
I`m using a ccu2 on a 32 bit Pc and usb instruments on a 64 pc

I'm not sure if this will help you, but here is some information regarding LVars for the A2A C172.

Just an update, I got all of the lights working now.

I would be very indebted to someone if they could tell me under what circumstances the bar in the upper right of the panel lights up. Does it just come on when the test function is activated, or does it serve some other purpose. Sharing of Simkits or real life experience would be very helpful.

The red "bar" comes on only in test mode. The reason it is there is to show you that there is no function in that space of the annunciator. I believe some Cessna 172's are equipped with a 2-Axis autopilot which can control pitch via a trim tab servo. In that case the the annunciator would not have a red bar; it would instead have a "PITCH TRIM" light in place of the bar and I believe this would indicate a fault in the trim servo.

Kermit,

Have not been here in a while. FSX Standard was what I used.

Not exist in FSUIPC (at least i can´t find), but with IOCP Server (a module to work with SIOC of Opencockpits Cards) you can find this list:

(0373) Warning Fuel
(0374) Warning Fuel Left
(0375) Warning Fuel Right
(0376) Warning Vacuum
(0377) Warning Vacuum Left
(0378) Warning Vacuum Right
(0379) Warning Oil PSI
(0380) Warning Voltage

All variables, except Vacuum Warning Lights, works like panel in stock FS2004 C-172 or 182 plane.

The vacuum never turns on in the plane with failure, or with stopped motor (try in the simulator).
Seems to be a glicth at least in FS2004. (I don´t have FSX intalled to try)..
Others planes work ok.
I don´t know how IOCP take this variables (token variables?) or how relate with FSUIPC.
Regards.
Horacio.
