 |
|
Several searches and I can't find anything so...
I have the SpeedBrake Do Not Arm annunciator below my captains side AFDS.
Anyone know of an xml file for this? Whats going to cause the "Do Not Arm" annunciator to light up?
I was looking at FSUIPC offsets, obviously (even in xml) you can arm the spoilers, etc.
But I'm curious what conditions would cause the annunciator to light up telling you not to arm it. (And how to get that functionality working?)
Thanks!

Using the normal Avionics packages available you will find that not every function is simulated.
This is an example. There are several annunciators on the MIP that will not do anything other than light up for a Light Test when activated.
The XMLs are there for functional items.
You will find the AFDS is the same. No functionality really with PM for example.
You can do a search on Thomas Richter in here as he has created somenice utilities that add functions that do not see support in PM.
What we have uploaded is all the work everyone has done prior to you. If it is not there it is not likely functional. Unless you are Jon Boe and you go and create it all!

Thanks Peter. Already have the TSR software on the to do list for the AFDS's. Wasn't sure if there was anything for DNA or not. Figured I'd ask first!
I'll have to look into these xml files, who knows, might be able to come up with something! 
Thanks!

Sorry if I bump an old thread, but I just checked the 737 companion for this. Here's the conditions:
-when the automatic operation of the SB lever does not arm correctly
-if the lever is in ARMED position and one of the thrust reversers are engaged and one or more of these occurs:
--antiskid system inop
--autobrake actuator not retracted
--disagreement between wheel spin speeds and air/ground signals
--internat faults in the auto speedbrake module
In other words: not really needed in a sim. Falls into the lav light category. Wire it up just for light test purposes, but leave it if you're short on outputs.
