• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

FS2004 Advanced EICAS features

Ok, I am experimenting with the visible, but

<Visible>(A:Eng fuel flow GPH:1, gallons per hour) (A:Eng fuel flow GPH:2, gallons per hour) + 1 &lt;</Visible>
Click to expand...
makes it invisible all the time

and
<Visible>((A:Eng fuel flow GPH:1, gallons per hour) (A:Eng fuel flow GPH:2, gallons per hour)) + 1 &lt;</Visible>
Click to expand...
makes it visible all the time...

I didnt find any engine running, bool variable :-(

There are dozens you could check;

GENERAL ENG COMBUSTION:n 0 !=

GENERAL ENG RPM:n 100 &gt;

Edit: ok, I've just counted them - 35, although some are props, some are jets.
(It must be Sunday - I need to get a life :) )

Yes, this is checked, but I think it is the same as fuel flow... only for one engine... What I am looking for is some variable which will make it visible when one of my engines is running, not when my engine 1 is running... I know you understand, I dont know how to explain it...

However, thank you for help!

The script below will be TRUE if any (or all) of the engines are running:

Code: 
<Visible>
    (A:GENERAL ENG COMBUSTION:1,bool)
    (A:GENERAL ENG COMBUSTION:2,bool)
    or
    (A:GENERAL ENG COMBUSTION:3,bool)
    or
    (A:GENERAL ENG COMBUSTION:4,bool)
    or
</Visible>

Dang! I thought you needed and or ||

Brilliantly simple.

Bill the word "or" is precisely the same as the symbols "||"...

I prefer to use the words rather than the symbols because it's easier to read quickly, and without having to do any mental gymnastics to "translate" them... :D
 
I would never have thought of doing it like that, it's more intiutive than;

case case case case or or or

which is the way I usually do it - I like it!
 
Works, thank you very much!

Last one (really, I promise!) to by EICAS...

How would you handle the "visibility" of it? I have two EICAS displays, both can be visible only if main bus voltage > 8V and when avionics bus (for EICAS 1) and avionicsII bus (L:Var, EICAS 2) are on... would you do it using <Failures> or using <Visible>? Despite of that, I dont know how to combine two variables together (syntax) - somethink like (A:Voltage,volt) 8&gt AND (L:AvionicsII,bool) 1== - I hope you know what I mean...

Pavel
 
I would use <Visible>

For (A:Voltage,volt) 8&gt AND (L:AvionicsII,bool) 1==

Try:

(A:Voltage,volt) 8 &gt; (L:AvionicsII,bool) 1 == &amp;&amp; if{ what happens here }

You'll need to use a correct A: variable for the first term.

Hope this helps,
