ADFs which are on a 0.5 frequency done't work. Wish IPACS would just round up.

Thanks for the github link jpx . It is interesting to see people moding the vr controls so that they do not automatically grab things. My view of the future of VR simming is that a popular option will be a blend of physical controls (yoke and stick and probably throttle quadrant at least) and virtual hands for smaller items used less often. To make that work we will need the option to disable grabbing functionality with the virtual hands around the yoke/stick. Nice to see that starting to appear. How easy was vrjoy by the way? I like the BU0836a as there is absolutely no software config needed. Anyone could follow an ikea style instruction sheet and build a working controller.

Has anyone tried one of these sorts of things? https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B019Z38XSI/ref=sspa_dk_detail_3
A bluetooth presenter device that can control a mouse. I presume you calibrate by clicking and then it uses gyroscopes to determine where its pointing? Anyway I wonder if its more intuitive to use in VR than a normal mouse. I don't know about turning a tuner knob with it.

My Intuous S has arrived and I like it. I can load in airport info, navigation notes, even screen grabs from google maps for a bit of pilotage navigation - if anyone's interested I found a nifty way of creating a single large JPEG screengrab (8,000px x 8,000px) from google maps and with the kneeboard you can scroll around it like a live google map.
With my 3d printed bracket it all works very nicely. The slot is for a webbing belt. The right hand clip is for the pen.

Last I heard the SDK was only outputting acceleration forces at 1hz. absolute pitch/roll coming out quicker. That's why my motion platform is just a chair at the moment.

Axis used to work with x/y/z moves so i built a controller with potentiometers. That functionality got withdrawn a few months ago. Maybe zoom was similar.

Jet-Pack (IPACS) - perhaps just round up? That’s what the FS2 navigation screen does. The trouble is the aircraft don’t recognise it. Just making it consistent would do the job.

Turns out it happens a lot. I just tried a flight to Liverpool and found both the Liverpool and nearby Whitegate NDB are both on 0.5 frequencies so there was nothing I could tune into. Jan - Jet-Pack (IPACS) any chance of a workaround of some sort?

Hi Argivo,
What a great start on a C212 you have made!!! This really brings make great memories for me, as I used be Chief Pilot for a company flying C212-200's on survey for many years back in the 90s. I also flew the actual C212-400 aircraft, VH-VHB that JetJockey10 linked to earlier in this thread. I picked this airplane up brand new at the factory in Seville back in 2004, and ferried it out to Australia, before taking it (and it's twin VHA) down to Antarctica for our first season for the Australian Antarctic Division. These 2 planes are named "Ginger" and "Gadget" respectively, named after 2 of Mawson's favorite sledge-dogs. Even though I've been far away from the CASAs for a number of years now, I am still a current TRE (Flight Examiner) on type and as my airline isn't going anywhere at the moment due to COVID-19, I have recently been back in the C212 for some refresher training and will be doing a couple of type-ratings with new crew for an Australian operator. Not sure what level of fidelity you intend to take this model, but I'll be very happy to assist in any way I can. I have all documentation in my library, Flight Manuals, QRHs and Garrett TPE331 manuals, so sing out with anything I can pass onto you.

Awesome, I'm so amazed at the expertise and capabilities on this forum. A buddy of mine is a doctor in Antarctica now and has had a few winters down there over the years. Had been based in Perth prior but I think he's with the Kiwi's on this trip. I wonder if he's been on board Ginger or Gadget. We've got a Whatsapp going so I'll ask him.
Are there any PDFs you could share about this aircraft?

Moving levers with the mouse is awful - Argivo I don't suppose you could fake things and link the mixture control to the condition lever?
-
The condition levers controls the propeller speed an cut offs the fuel when pull back all the way to the red zone after the TAXI mark
When I move the prop lever on my quadrant the middle lever in the CASA moves. I thought that was prop speed?
-
Great thanks!
OK, so I found this about Condition levers. It seems to vary according to the aircraft. Not sure what it does in the Casa.
QuoteA Condition Lever is a pilot actuated control which is located within the throttle quadrant of a turboprop engine equipped aircraft. It is utilised to control some functions of both the propeller and the engine. These functions vary from installation to installation.
Functions of the condition lever can include any of the following:
- Fuel cut-off.
- Propeller feathering.
- Propeller un-feathering.
- Low idle/high idle selection.
- Propeller speed control.
-
Just in case i’m missing something, we have ADF but DME/VOR/AP are coming later? Also i’m curious what the condition lever is about? I don’t suppose its possible to map it to my throttle quadrant?
