--- Quote from: Sludge on April 15, 2010, 11:14:02 pm ---What's the full functionality of the Auto L. Lights button on your Touchpad?  Is it similar to the gauge you gave me earlier that shuts off the landing light upon gear up?  Is that now a selectable option w/the Touchpad?  Actually, can you list the functions and how to's of all the Touchpad functions, please

When Auto landing light is on, the landing light automatically turns on when the nose gear is extended. When it's off (by deafult), the landing light is controlled manually. Have seen many Hornet videos with l/lights on, even doing FCLPs. That's why I decided to add this feature...  :) Just click the button to toggle it on/off.

The touchpad functions almost like the Superbug's UFCD. Click on BARO or RADAR, then click number buttons and then click ENT. Or you can click numbers first, then click on one of that altitude buttons and then click ENT. CLR button clears all input. You can't enter wrong figures. Even if you enter 78300 for BARO, 25000 will be set, as per NATOPS.

And finally, the fuel gauge is added for your convenience when doing carrier ops. Currently it has no action, just a view gauge.

FNP said: "Have seen many Hornet videos with l/lights on, even doing FCLPs." Do you mean FSX videos or realworld videos? If RW videos do you have a link please? TAH.

Paddles:
Sure, I mean IRL videos. You can go to youtube, search for 'El Centro Hornets' and you'll have plenty of links like these:

FSXNP...

I think those are press corps Touch and Go's and not graded FCLPs?  I dont think a real life LSO would want the landing light on, but I still think its good to have the gauge so that you have the option to turn it on, say if youre landing at a civilian facility or landing without FCLP/LSO guidance.

Oh yeah, and do you have the panel entries that youve figured out for the Touchpad Gauge?

Later
