Gear Status Lights

[slicker55]

Hi Guys,

 

I'm working on a Helios profile for this module...

 

I have found the argument numbers for two of the gear indicators ('diagonal line' and 'down') but I can't find one for the 'up' indicator

 

I'm wondering if the developers have simply linked the 'up' indicators to the gear lever so they come on when the lever is in the 'up' position?

 

However, this would mean all three 'up' indicators would always come on together even if one or more wheels had failed to retract.

 

So, fingers crossed someone may know if there is a specific argument number for the 'up' indicators?

 

Alternatively, those with more Sabre flight time than myself might be able to say whether the three 'up' indicators always come on together or whether they do work independently?

Cummon Guys,

 

Over 70 views / no replies?

 

Maybe I've made this sound more complicated than was actually intended?

 

In essence, I just want to know if the gear UP indicators always come on together?

 

Under normal circumstances, when you take-off and raise the gear lever, all three UP lights come on but what happens if one or more wheels fails to retract properly?

 

I've tried to deliberately damage the gear to see if this affects the way the three lights behave (like in other planes) but so far, they have all come on together. (maybe they're not programmed to work independently?

Can you post a picture of what you are talking about?

 

39-Left Gear Status

40-Nose Gear Status

41-Right Gear Status

 

-1.0 = Down and Locked

0.0 = Diagonal Lines / Moving

1.0 = Up and Locked

OK, after second post, I understand what You're talking about, but I don't know how this thing is programmed :D.

Hi SkateZilla,

 

The Man!

 

:smartass:

 

Thank you so much - spot on mate!

if you need the device/controller names they are in the script file for lamps I believe. (lamps.lua)

 

edit:

lamp_HYDRO_LeftGear		= create_default_lamp(39, controllers.lamp_HYDRO_LeftGear)
lamp_HYDRO_RightGear	= create_default_lamp(41, controllers.lamp_HYDRO_RightGear)
lamp_HYDRO_NoseGear		= create_default_lamp(40, controllers.lamp_HYDRO_NoseGear)

Yes, thanks.

 

I had already found that information but it wasn't until you mentioned the values that I realised my mistake.

 

It's all good now. Once again many thanks!
