Panel confuses me..! ED please help..

[Triggerhappy69]

:helpsmilie:..!

 

It's no secret that I'm attempting to build the Su-25 Cockpit. And I'm having a blast building and planning so far...!

The LockOn comunity has really impressed me as far as sharing info, ideas and a helping hand across borders and language barriers.

I have gotten to know guys from the US, Netherland, France, UK, Sweden and god knows how many other places. All sharing an interest in playing this incredible game, breaking ground in the Pitbuilding of russian planes (..sigh.. they ARE just beautifull..) and inventing and developing ideas to make the whole thing work..

 

I start of writing this because there are a lot of "unsung heroes" out there that lay down A LOT of hours of work, and display an above avarage abillity to solve seemingly inpossible problems. And then just give it away to whoever show enough interrest to ask for it..?

 

People like Zorlac for making "touchbuddy", the guys in 3rd-Wing for developing software like LOSIOC, LOMFD and LOPSP..! Simmeters developers for both hard and software, and A HUD..!? WoW.!

Who made LockOn Virtuell Panel has iluded me (EDIT BY SELF: is it "Mnemonic"?), but this goes out to you as wellAnd a whole bunch others that I admire immensly..! I take a bow in respect..!

 

That being said I need some info on the Weapons panel in the Su-25/Su-25T. When in A2G mode and Gunpod Depression angle mode active a green light comes on on the left side of the panel. BUT if I switch ti NAV Mode to make another strafe run on the Target Area. the left rotary switch bounces back to it's vertical position..?

 

I had initially planned to go arround this by having LED's light up the text behind the active mode. But I can't seem to manage to live with this "untrue" solution. My panel version 2.0 will have the switch returned by a servo or solenoid or it's like..

 

But I can't seem to find a pattern for how it moves when switching from A2G mode to A2A or Nav Modes. And when does it return to what position..??

 

So here are my two questions:

 

1. Can you tell me to where, and when, the rotary switch moves by it selves. I need to program SIOC to have my panel do the exact same..?

 

2. Does the real life panel also act like this? (Ps. If I can get only one answer... this would NOT be the question I would like to see you waste time on..):cry:

The panel in question

 

I thought that since you guys wrote the code, you'de be the right one to ask..?
