• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

New Discovery!

...and then everything went black.

I think I've experienced hydraulic failure many times ...like you take a few strikes and suddenly the controls have become stiff(?)... :sour:
 
Fellas,

I have experimented a little by adding the following key events to the events.xml in the root folder and adding some assignments in-game.

<FUEL_SELECTOR_SET Caption="Fuel selector (set)" Type="engine"/>
<FUEL_SELECTOR_CENTER Caption="Fuel Selector center" Type="engine"/>
<FUEL_SELECTOR_RIGHT_AUX Caption="Fuel Selector Right Aux" Type="engine"/>
<FUEL_SELECTOR_LEFT_AUX Caption="Fuel Selector Left Aux" Type="engine"/>
<FUEL_SELECTOR_RIGHT Caption="Fuel Selector Right" Type="engine"/>
<FUEL_SELECTOR_LEFT Caption="Fuel Selector Left" Type="engine"/>
<FUEL_SELECTOR_ALL Caption="Fuel Selector All" Type="engine"/>
<FUEL_SELECTOR_OFF Caption="Fuel Selector Off" Type="engine"/>

What I have learned is the following:

- So far, you cannot add your own categories. That is why I have filed these commands under "engine". However, you can re-assign existing commands by changing the ' Type="XXXX" ' to one of the existing categories. I now have my flaps -commands under the "surface" instead of the "general" category.
- Most Fuel Selector commands seem to work. But alas, I saw no animation (I tried adding a simple selector model, named and animated according to the SDK, to one of my models). However, strange things happened when I added a drop tank to the aircraft of choice in the UI:
Without droptank, all commands worked, except the _SET, _CENTER and both _AUX commands.
With droptank, the _CENTER command worked but all others did not - until I dropped the droptank. This leads me to believe that the droptank is coupled to the _CENTER command. The other commands that refer to an onboard fuel tank might be influenced by the settings in the aircraft.cfg. I have not yet experimented with an aircraft that has auxiliary tanks defined in the .cfg to see if these tanks are also accessible.
