All sorted thank you! but how do i get the sounds to play?


If your installation was succesfull, you should have received a message for accepting the 'dsd_fsx_xml_sound.gau' at FSX start-up (unless you already have it on your system).

Double check that you have dsd_fsx_xml_sound.gau in your C:\..\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\Gauges folder.

Also you can check if your sounds are active if you select anywhere on the yellow text of the V-One gauge (must be right on the text) and you'll hear a chime.

Excellent work Paul!
Simply amazing.

Question:  I see you have 19,000 pounds of thrust for the -200.  Is there a way to lower that and still have the gauge work?

Jerry


Thanks Jerry.

The short answer to your question is yes you can.
The long answer is not without a bit of trial and error testing.

The only item effected by the thrust value (parasite_drag_scalar and induced_drag_scalar as well), will be the Optimum EPR display.
Every other aspect of the gauge will work as stated.

I intentionally put in variables to address your exact question as I knew many users have been tweaking their aircraft.cfg file.

I'd like to put together instructions on how to make changes to the Optimum EPR display using your current values as a test case (if you don't mind   Smiley), as many others may want to make the same adjustment.

Please let me know the values you're currently using for:
inlet_area
static_thrust
parasite_drag_scalar
induced_drag_scalar

Also would be helpful to know (but not necessary):
PAX and cargo weight, fuel load and approximate flight distance.
This will assist in achieving reproducible results as a cross check.

Thanks for your help.

Paul:

I'm may not be finished with my messing with the cgf.file yet, but here is what I'm playing with now:

Para drag = 1.0
Induced drag = 1.0
Inlet = 9.4
static thrust = 15,000

For the -200 (no ADV yet)

Thanks a bunch!

Jerry

[b][size=12]Here are instructions on how to change the Opt EPR display for the V-One gauge to match the 737 EPR gauge[/size][/b].

1. Get into a level flight at the recommended Opt Alt, 32,200 in example.
2. Maintain a stable cruise speed of M.728
3. Note difference between Opt EPR display and 737 EPR gauge.
    Example: 2.078 - 1.889 = 0.189
4. Edit the appropriate v-one.xml file (right mouse click on filename, then choose 'Edit'. Do not choose 'Open').
5. In section 'Initial Vars' towards the bottom of the file, change the following:
    FROM: 0.0 (>L:OptEprOffset,number )
    TO: 0.189 (>L:OptEprOffset,number )
6. Save your changes.

That's all there is to it!

I'm planning on finishing one for the 707 next  Smiley

I have created a gauge for the 727-100.

Kiwi:

I had a problem getting things to work too and got this reply from Paul which fixed everyting:

Make sure and change your cockpit view at least once to the 2D view or the gauge will not work properly.

Also the vspeeds will not display until you select a flap   

Try that and see if it helps

Bill

Can something be more perfect than perfect? Anyway, the 737 is nearly perfect and the V-One Gauge is an awesome enhancement. So the package is more than perfect. Thank you very much!!!!! Cheesy
