VRInsight Combo Airbus - Metric Altitude

[roliflight 0]

Hallo,

 

im am a newbee and i have a little problem, on the Vrinsight combo Airbus steyle is a little

button named matric alt. I can not find a Linda control to activat this funktion.

I have traced the LVars an found 2 LVars by pushing this button at FSX.

AB_AP_Metric = 1

AB_AP_Metric = 0

AB_AP_Metric_REL = 1

AB_AP_Metric_REL = 0

I tried to write a funktion but the funktion did not work because i am not the great programmer.

Can somebody help me and show me, how the funktion is correct.

Excause my bad english.

 

Many thanks

Hi roliflight

 

Welcome to LINDA. Personally, I use the Metric Alt button the Airbus FCU to toggle the Altitude Step from 100 to 1000 because most of the world does not use metric altitude.

 

You have correctly identified the Lvars required for control the Metric Altitude button. The new functions you require are:

 

function Autopilot_Metric_on ()
    LVarSet = "L:AB_AP_Metric"
    ipc.writeLvar(LVarSet, 1)
    SmallOverheadPushButtons ()
    DspShow ("ft-m", "on")
end

function Autopilot_Metric_off ()
    LVarSet = "L:AB_AP_Metric"
    ipc.writeLvar(LVarSet, 0)
    SmallOverheadPushButtons ()
    DspShow ("ft-m", "off")
end

function Autopilot_Metric_toggle ()
    if _tl("L:AB_AP_Metric", 0) then
        Autopilot_Metric_on ()
    else
        Autopilot_Metric_off ()
    end
end
 

These will be included in the next update of the Aerosoft Airbus module.

Hi Scotflieger,

Linda is a great software!!!

Many thanks an have a good time

Hi Roliflight

 

LINDA is not able to control output to other devices as designed.
