HawgTouch MIG-21 issues

I am very much enjoying the HawgTouch (v1.6) application but there are some issues with the MIG-21 profile.

Perhaps this is WIP and will be fixed eventually, perhaps it is a bug?

KPP

None of the RSBN or PRMG needles are operational. Neither of the K & T flags are showing.

NPP

Erratic movement of the direction needle. Localizer and glide slope needles arent moving either.

Break pressure gauge

No reaction what so ever.

So, is this just me, or something broken/not imlemented yet?

Is there anyone else besides me that actually are using Hawgtouch and the MIG-21 profile?

I am not but the developer of HT is looking into this issue as I sent him a copy of your post. See below:

In the moment, we are not getting datas for the IDs 3 to 5 and we have not found the DCS-ExportIDs for the IDs 6 and 7.

Ok, thanks for helping me with this. I really appreciate that :)

Hello BravoYankee4,

can you help me with a bug report?

What needles and display incorrectly or not work?

Please list the numbers and describe the problem!

Thanks for replying McMicha.

This behavior is when flying the standard Navigation training mission. Haven't experimentet with my own missions yet.

KKP

2 : PRMG localizer needles (yellow in sim and white in HT) - Not moving

4 : "K" flag - Not showing

5 : "T" flag - Not showing

6 : RSBN/PRMG directional neddles (yellow cross in the middle) - Not moving

NPP

4, 7 : Glide slope, localizer needles (white cross in the middle) - Not moving

9 : NDB/RSBN direction needle (Yellow in HT, white in sim) - Not synchronized with 3D cockpit

The screenshot is showing both sim and HT instruments at the exact same time.

Hello BravoYankee4,

can you help me to find the correct argument numbers for the missing signals?

I search the XXXX.arg_number = YYY....

Here are extracts from hat file that I believe is relevant.

Another thing missing in the HT MIG-21 profile is the "1000" indicator in the IAS instrument.

However I can't find anything in the lua file, but that should be easy to implement anyway perhaps (if IAS > 1000 then 1kflag = true).

Just tried the new version (http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=2655078&postcount=16) but now there are no gauges at all (just a blank black screen).

I am running it as an administrator as before.

I copied the files to a separate folder (renamed the old one), and if I run the old exe it fires up just fine with all gauges.

Anyone else with this problem?

Hello BravoYankee4,

Check the tab “general” in the properties from HawgTouch.exe and HawgTouch.GaugePack.dll.

If there is the option “activate on this computer” in the field “attributes” you have to activate this!

CU Micha

Please, check the position of the cockpit windows. Perhaps the position is wrong.

Shouldn't he be trying out Ikanus?

Ok, I have been messing around with this a couple of hours now.

First, I forgot about activating the gauge dll, so that explained why I didn't have any gauges visible :blush:

Then I had a lot of problems getting the export up and running, eventually I had HT partly working. Only a few instruments were active. EGT was, engine RPM not and so on.

Then I tried Ikarus, and that is working fine now with the exports, but it still has the bugs with NPP, KPP and brake pressure as reported previously.

However I do like the Ikarus gui with all the improvements and possibilities.
