Description
This script was written for FlyByWire A32NX.
This is more complex than the above two scripts. This script provides the integrated virtual cockpit which contains physical operable units such as buttons and knobs, touch controllable units on the monitor, and popped out window contents such as PFD.
This script includes several sub-module scripts, and it also uses several bitmap images to render each operable units.
In this script, you can see the following example usage of fsmapper in addition to g1000_x56.lua case.
- Observing the aircraft status represented by RPN script
- Drawing graphics on the screen
- Handling the touch events and mouse events occurred on the screen
This script defines following 6 views. Every view consist a MSFS popped out instrument window and self rendered operable gauges.
| Popped out instruments | Self rendered operable units | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | PFD | FCU display buttons on the FCU BARO indicator |
| 2 | ND | buttons and toggle switches on the EFIS control unit auto brake buttons etc |
| 3 | Upper ECAM | engine mode selectors, master engine switch and engine status indicators APU control switches battery control switches and voltage indicators |
| 4 | Lower ECAM | ECAM page selector buttons |
| 5 | MCDU | MCDU buttons |
| 6 | EFB | - |
The width of every view except EFB is a half width of the SimHID monitor width. So two views can be displayed simultaneously side by side.
By pressing soft-keys placed at bottom of SimHID G1000, two views to show can be specified.
And the switches placed on the left end and the right end of SimHID G1000 housing (AUX switches) can also control views to show.
When you operate the AUX switch up or down, it will sequentially switch between three preset left-right view combinations.
Pressing the AUX switch toggles between EFB display mode and other instrument display modes.
The pushbuttons rendered on each view can be operated by tapping them. The toggle switches include engine master switches and the selector knobs can be operated by flicking them. The correspondence between SimHID G1000 operations and A32NX operations are shown below.
