Is anyone trying to bind the cowl flap to a switch. I can't find anything that works. It seems that the cowl flap is either open or closed. I've tried some of the cowl flaps that are available, but nothing works.

I don't have that aircraft so I can't test anything, but assuming it uses generic events, I see that all cowl flaps seem to work in degrees.

#

Try this to see if cowl flaps open fully

#

16383 (>K:COWLFLAP1_SET)

#

Try Fully close
0 (>K:COWLFLAP1_SET)

#

If this doesn't work, you will need to go into Dev Mode Behaviors to find what code is actually used.

around 5 mins

#

it's on/off toggle for cowl flaps on the da50, not proportional.

#

also, if the same applies to other Diamond aircraft, the pilots operating handbook should be available online

Well the G58 cowl flaps didn't work. I don't know much about the developers thing. I haven't had to do to much with planes. But I really like this plane even though it's a diesel and you can really tell. Now for simbrief to get a file for it.

#

so you get up/down for the cowl flaps? because it sounds like that is how it is in the plane?

#

and no intermediate position?

delicate jasper
#

That's what the cowl flaps says, open/close. That's the only 2 options.

#

I went into the xml file and got this for the cowl: <Component ID="cowl">
<UseTemplate Name = "ASOBO_GT_Anim_Code">
<ANIM_NAME>Coolvent_L</ANIM_NAME>
<ANIM_CODE>(A:SPOILERS LEFT POSITION, Percent)</ANIM_CODE>
</UseTemplate>
<UseTemplate Name = "ASOBO_GT_Anim_Code">
<ANIM_NAME>Coolvent_R</ANIM_NAME>
<ANIM_CODE>(A:SPOILERS LEFT POSITION, Percent)</ANIM_CODE>
</UseTemplate>
</Component>

try spoiler event just to check? maybe they modelled them as spoilers to model the drag of the cowl flap?

delicate jasper
#

I will.

delicate jasper
#

I guess for now, I'll wait till the company comes out with away to bind it. Or maybe someone else figures it out. When I tried the spoilers the closed light went out, but came back on after a few seconds. The open light wouldn't come on at all. Thanks.

0 (>L:COWL_FLAPS) this works

#

1 and 0 to switch states

#

Yes, I just have to make a lvar for the cowl_flaps.

placid stag
delicate jasper
#

So I can do the 0(>L:COWL_FLAPS) 0 and 1(>L:COWL_FLAPS) 1

placid stag
#

a misunderstanding... you don't make those Lvars, they already exist in the sim.

#

you just have to use the code that addresses them in Mobiflight

delicate jasper
#

ok

placid stag
#

0 (>L:COWL_FLAPS)

1 (>L:COWL_FLAPS)

#

I assume the airplane uses the same code in the sim.

#

Since you are targetting an airplane which not that many people are using, I think you will need to learn how to dig the code in Developer Mode Behaviors.

#

I will tag this as Solved.
