Hi all, if anyone remembers , what was the purpose of the serviceable property ? Was it meant as an on/off switch , instrument fault , or just instrument state ?
The reason I'm asking is I have redone the Aerostar electrical system , so that one can create a battery / alternator with parameters ... such as : var alternator = Alternator.new("rpm-source",rpm_threshold,volts,amps); Now while setting power outputs , Ive been going through the instrument source and noticed most only check for a serviceable = true before continuing ... very few check for electrical input. Autopilot appears to ignore power outputs ... If I set serviceable (false) when updating the electrical system to prevent instruments from working when no power available, it will not be settable from the menu....which defeats the purpose of the faults menu. SO , should each electrical instrument be updated to check for voltage () ? Another idea I would prefer , is to set normalized electrical outputs , proper volts and amps can be set in /systems/electrical/volts and amps , it might make lighting factors simpler for gauge lights , etc... Just some thoughts I had , and am curious on other opinions about the subject. Cheers, Happy Easter , Syd ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
