User manual

TFR_ENGAGED – this bit is set when the LANTIRN mode terrain following autopilot is active.

The bit represents one half of a split face lamp indicator that includes an ACTIVE legend (top line)

and a STBY legend (bottom line). There is no bit for the STBY legend.

Lef_Fault – this bit gets set when the leading edge flaps are damaged and set in different

asymmetric positions or if the LE FLAPS switch in the FLT CONTROL panel is set in the Lock

position. Per the dash one, this bit should be used to light the FLCS eyebrow warning light when

it is set.

NEW KEYBOARD CALLBACKS

Overview

Callbacks have been added for one of two reasons:

¿ Functions that were always accessible via the mouse but which were not provided with a

keystroke callback.

¿ Functions that support placing a switch or knob to each discrete position that the control can

take (e.g. “on” and “off” positions for two place toggle switches).

Addition of new callbacks for discrete positioning of cockpit controls will not replace existing

toggle and increment/decrement functions. Rather, the new functions will be supplemental to

callbacks already present to preserve compatibility for existing users and their game

controller/joystick programming setups.

There are two problems that recommend the advantages of adding callbacks for commands that

place a given knob or switch in a specific position.

Firstly, for existing commands like the SimHSIModes function (default keymapping is “i”), the

game wraps the knob position at the right end of its travel so that it goes from the right-most

position to the left-most in one move. The default command also only goes “right one”. These two

behaviors of the SimHSIModes command make it poorly suited to supporting a real knob, which

can turn physically in both directions but that likely has a physical stop at each end, as opposed

to wrapping. A controller program for a physical switch can simulate a “left one” function by

programming that to send three pulses of the “i” key instead of one. Not terribly satisfactory or

efficient.
