Nav/GPS indicator and Vacuum Indicator

[Tom_G_2010]

You are saying Master Bus Voltage, but I assume you are actually using Main Bus Voltage, right? Main Bus Voltage is not a defined variable unless you added it.

Sorry, I meant to say "Main" not master. Based on Alan's direction I am going to do a file compare between the FS Variables files of the two pc's. almost everything else is similar.

I have my NAV/GPS indicator working now. THANKS!!! I noticed below you mentioned yours was not working. When I get back home next week I'll e-mail you my file so you can see how mine is set up.

I added the suction FS Variable and built that indicator as well, but I haven't had a chance to test it yet. I was looking an the annunciator panel in the stock FS 172 though and noticed that the vacuum indicator had two lamps: left; right. Need to do a little more digging on that one.

As soon as I get the Main Bus Voltage issue debugged I'm also going to replace or maybe add it to each point where I have Battery Switch. If you leave the battery switch on long enough with out the engine started (or alternator switched on when it is) the battery will of course go dead. However my LED's still work since the present logic only triggers off the state of the battery switch not the presence of voltage. I will do the same with Avionics Voltage where the Avionics switch is.

Again, Thanks for all your help!

I did not set them up individually, because I could only find an offset for all suction, not left and right. I have no idea how to test in fs if it is subject to discrete failures, so I went with KISS.

I agree about the volts(amps?) drop should cancel the lights as well, Just have not implemented it yet.

You get your marker lights sorted out?

. . . You get your marker lights sorted out? . . .

Have them built but looking for a good airfield to test them at.
