AP diconnect and smartco

[birdydma]

sim/autopilot/fdir_servos_down_one is not transmitted.

PS: if it is a too hard task to improve the AP disconnect, close the topic.

[parshukov]

but this command is used for a button on a yoke. Can you test other default x-plane commands with AP disc? servos toggle or smth like that?

[birdydma]

Already done, but no joy. (servo toggle activate/deactivate the autotrim).

[parshukov]

what this command should do? can you describe the logic of this command (e.g. this switch off, that switch on)

[birdydma]

Those datarefs are not properly synchronized:

#parshukovedition/autopilot_state_FO_ApbuttonState = 0 #parshukovedition/autopilot_state_PF_ApbuttonState = 0 parshukovedition/autopilot_state_FO_button = 0 parshukovedition/autopilot_state_PF_button = 0

The idea is to remove them from the .cfg, and let each plugin do the job at there own speed. But of course we need something that can be synchronized to activate them.

sim/autopilot/fdir_servos_down_one is not transmited, as for exemple sim/flight_controls/pitch_trim_down/up is.

when I released my patch I did improvements in smartconfig and everything worked nice. will try to find it...

[parshukov]

try to use all of them for smartcopilot and tell me the results. To AP off you should click on the red button on yoke: parshukovedition/autopilot_state_FO_ApbuttonState = 0 parshukovedition/autopilot_state_PF_ApbuttonState = 0 parshukovedition/autopilot_state_FO_button = 0 parshukovedition/autopilot_state_PF_button = 0

and how it is not properly sync?? We can try together with smartco check it

[birdydma]

Working sometimes, sometimes not. The value of the pilot receiving parshukovedition/autopilot_state_FO_button, and parshukovedition/autopilot_state_PF_button does not always reach 1, and there is no ring, no disconnection.

[parshukov]

I'll check this out

So if it works it disconnect AP as it should, am I right? If so I will fix this button on yoke for smartcopilot. As for command it uses sim/autopilot/fdir_servos_down_one to diconnect AP on yoke.

[birdydma]

I also have a question about 2 items, as i spent hours to sync them without success.

Just for my knowledge, as it is not important.

During the test, the 2 red bulbs are illuminated only for the pilot doing the test.

Gear test: never found the dataref, or command to sync it.

[parshukov]

as for this bulbs and gear - they are hardcoded in sasl with local variables.

[birdydma]

Thank you, i am less stupid.

[parshukov]

I know) but for this things to sync it should be some new datarefs and reorganization of a code

Hi, Niko,

Minor improvement, and sound problem (on slave side, engines sounds are horrible).

Are you also working around the flight model? smartcopilot.zip

[jinshsa]

The button on the yoke is used to disable the AP temporarily,when the button was released ,the AP should be connected back automatically ,

[jinshsa]

When the red button was pressed down and hold ,you can control the plane manually, on released ,the AP take in charge of the plane immediately

[birdydma]

Thank you jinsha.

The problem was using this feature in a shared cockpit.
