To KBT

First of all thank you for all that perfect models and the devotion to them

Really thank you

Roland

Second-->question no critisism or so

Will we get the old VC as internal FSX/ P3D model as well?
Why ?It was closer to a real F-2 as far as i recall

VC will be added in the next version.
The immediate problem.
Creation of HUD in FSX.
Create a switch with integrated landing light and taxing light.
Creation of these is a series of failures. It will take time to complete.
 
The original F-2 HUD as quite nice. It just needs to be collimated but I guess it's easier said than done...
This topic brought nice memories about the original version of this plane. I used to fly it quite often back in my FSX days, it was probably one of the nicest freeware jets I had at that time. :applause:

Cool to hear a VC is coming! The Iris F-16D hasn't been available for sale for 3-4 years and I don't think it was ever re-released by anyone else, or I'd have just considered grabbing it!

HUD yes difficult
switch-sounds easy--->XML?

Yes, HUD is difficult. Moreover, the XML of the lighting switch with the top, middle and lower positions is also difficult. (The top is the landing light, the middle is OFF, the lower position is the taxi light)

Thank you for writing very helpful XML. However, I do not have the skill to correct this notation to the perfect Reverse Polish Notation.
The result at FS, the light did not turn on, the switch was only up and down movement.

Check that there is electrical power for the aircraft. Battery or engine+generator.

I have also corrected a bug in the script. See my last post above.

Thank you very much for your help.
Only taxi lights will be on. The switch remained in motion only up and down.

In the old switch code, the code line for resetting the switch to the middle position when the left or right mouse button was pressed and the switch was NOT in the middle was executed after the code line for the landing lights. This immediately reset the switch to the middle position when clicking it for landing lights because the left mouse button was pressed and the switch variable was first zero and then one, which activated the condition to reset the switch.
The taxi light switch worked because the code line was executed after the line for resetting the switch.
Switching the line positions is an easy solution, because the code is always read from top to bottom, so if the switch is in the middle, the first condition to reset the switch will not activate.

Also note the improvement to the tooltip, which will now indicate which mouse button must be pressed to change the switch position.

Hope this is understandable.

In the script of this time the lighting switch moved from the OFF position to the taxi light and the landing light. However, except for the first click, it will be invalid and the switch will not work. When reselecting an aircraft or loading from a saved flight, it is reset and clicking becomes possible again, and only the first click, the switch shows a reaction and moves.
 
This is my last attempt. If does not work, you will have to ask somebody else or try to fix the code yourself.
