    • @benrampling812
      @benrampling812 9 дней назад

      @CaptainBobSim ahh okay so I'd have to reset it to zero initially. Or perhaps what would be better is to get the QFE first then set that with the encoder, then zero it so when you change to QNH if leaving the pattern it should align with what's in the sim?

    • @benrampling812
      @benrampling812 9 дней назад

      This is assuming we're going for a full cockpit set up with no cockpit view within the simulator. It's probably easier to change camera and have a quick glance and align it that way and I'm just overcomplicating it 😂

    Hello Capt. thank you for this awesome video. I managed to get the active comm freq to display as my first mobiflight project! One question, do you also have videos further explaining how to build in a push button (to switch between the active and stby freq) and a concentric rotary encoder? I'm trying to make a simplified replica of the fenix A320 radio panel. Is it as simple as wiring the push button and rotary encoder to different pins on the Mega and telling them what to do in the mobiflight software?

    Dear Captain Bob. Following you and feeling admiration for you, I have become enthusiastic and have started to try to build the Cessna 172 cockpit for MSFS X. I am configuring the fuel gauges and, although I have programmed in Mobiflight (v.10.4) as a precondition that the battery is in “ON”, when I turn it to “OFF” the needles continue to indicate the levels and do not return to the “0” position. Would you be so kind as to help me solve the problem. Thank you for your help and for your wonderful and educational work. Greetings from Spain

    • @arielvr333
      @arielvr333 4 дня назад

      i solved the problem! you need to create another activity with master type (1=active 0=not active) then you need to enter the another activity: one of the fuel gauges and create reference and then you need to create transformation that multiplies your new variable. for example : you create the new activity that called "master switch" and then enter to right fuel gauge then go to modify tab and press "add reference" then choose "master swtich" that you created earlier and you will see new variable "#" with this variable you can multiply your formula like: $*# so if you have input of 45% and the master switch is on so it will be 45*1=45 else it will be: 45*0=0 so you get display of 0 like you wanted *pay attention that not only the master switch determine if the fuel gauge will turn on - also alternator

    I am going to make a G3x, G-5, GTN 750, GMA 350, and a G-500 autopilot. I think some of it I will just buy RealSim. But the touchscreens they use have got bad reviews and I may just make my own. Do you have any recommendations on a 3d printer? I finished my steel base frame. I have mounted Harbor Freight wheels and 4 flat tire scissor jacks, they were $15 each on Amazon. So that it can roll and I can level it and make it stable. The base is a little smaller than the 4 x 8 Harbor Freight trailer I have. I have a cutout for the panel in my Mooney that the Avionics shop made as a template. So I will be using that. I made a button and rotary knob panel, without the screen, using Arduinos before but never the other stuff. Next I will be building the plane itself while a get more info on the panel.
