Pointers and Help for Ikarus first timer

Open Jeffb4u opened this issue 4 years ago • 0 comments

Ok so got it all installed and im getting along quite well so far. I only use a small part of it as an overlay direct to my game monitor. I will build up as required. I dont know what the support level is on the software today as last activity seems to be several months ago

So here are my pointers and Questions so far: (See screen shot below for the panel in question)

  1. As you can see i have set up some instruments and a switch indicator on my primary screen just so i dont need to look down to see the status of these things. (no trackir as yet).

  2. If you look close at the screen shot, there are 4 X (close boxes) along the top, on the right under the RWS, and one at about 3/4 of the way down the screen. I think these are showing the panel but they seem to be set for a 1920x1080 screen. My monitor is a 2560x1440 32" as native resolution. Note if i add the basic background it sits inside these 4 boxes. No matter what i do i cannot get these little boxes to move to the corners. You can see in the second Screen shot my settings for the panel. I cannot see any details about max screen resolution.

  3. The Air Brake switch was just me testing out whether simple lamps would be better for indication but i cannot get this to light. (and its not clear to me in the manual). Currently the indication for Air Brake appears and disappears when i go to landing flaps for some reason.

  4. I wanted to add a simple Autopilot, Autothrust and ASC switch indication, but could not find a suitable one as per the actual SU25/27/33 button images folder.

  5. Very Minor point but "Air Break" as per the switch in screen shot should be "Air Brake". (Break is like a lunch break or tea break). I also noted flaps is spelt as "FLABS".

Ok im in the weeds now till i see if there is any support still out there i will close. Love what this does, great work, Thx in advance.
