Is mi-8 giving the correct FM freq on the R828 ?

[Capt Zeen]

Hello all.

 

Yesterday, exporting the frequencies from R863 and R828 i notice that the R828 always export me the value of the Channel nº1, even if i have selected another channel.

 

The R623 work correct, every channel export the corresponding freq, but not the R828.

 

I extract the data from:

 

local R828 = GetDevice(39)

freq_828 = R828:get_frequency()

 

There is something i am doing wrong? or just the program don't return the correct value when you change the channel ?

 

Thanks in advance.

I've been messing around with Radios recently. With the 828 you have to change the channel and then press the tune button. It's very hard to see!

 

Below is what I use to get a radio frequency, you can also check that the radio is on:

function SR.getRadioFrequency(_deviceId, _roundTo)
   local _device = GetDevice(_deviceId)

   if not _roundTo then
       _roundTo = 5000
   end


   if _device then
       if _device:is_on() then
           -- round as the numbers arent exact
           return SR.round(_device:get_frequency(),_roundTo)
       end
   end
   return 1
end

function SR.round(number, step)
   if number == 0 then
       return 0
   else
       return math.floor((number + step / 2) / step) * step
   end
end

Soooooo, we are about to have a Capt Zeen's Mi-8 Helios profile? I have to say this is VERY exciting news.

This is what i got at the moment:

Everyting is working ! , lamps, switches, instruments, and all syncronized, so you can click on the helios screen or in the cockpit. The same experience as the Ka50 helios profile !

 

Pilot console

 

 

Central console

 

 

Electric panels

 

 

Start engines panel

 

 

Right now i am worknig in the radio panel, is very advanced !

Next one, weapons.
