Zibo compatibility

[drayton_k]

Hi Roar,

Does your Xplane version work with all ZIBO mod aircraft, -700 and -900?

Thanks

[drayton_k]

Nobody can help then !!

[mvr1918]

I believe OC4BA_XPLANE should work OK with the modules it supports today.

You can always order and try it, If it doesn't works as in the original Zibo, you will be refunded.

[drayton_k]

I have the Xplane version now and can confirm it does indeed work with all the 737 versions.

However, the VS digits on my MCPv2 are only displaying in thousands. If I dial it to say 1500 fpm, the sim shows 1500 but the Opencockpits MCP shows still 1000. Until I then dial in to 2000 fpm and then the MCP shows 2000, etc etc.
Roar, I did have this on the 777 quite a while ago which you resolved with a new script you sent me. Hopefully you can help with this.

thanks

Keith

Try the following

Make a text file of the OCP4B737_XP_738.ssi in SIOC's Edit Script
replace the VS code part as seen here:

You also need to modify the Var number for the non-static Var number to fit in


Then recompile and test

AS I do not have any time now to dig further into this very special issue now, I hope this was clear enough for you to try it out.

[drayton_k]

Roar,

Ok, but I dont understand the line "You also need to modify the Var number for the non-static Var number to fit in"

[mvr1918]

The reason is that the Var numbers in the VS script code lines to use could conflict with Var numbers already in use in the "original" script.

If you change the 02xx numbers to i.e. 08xx, you should probably be safe.

[drayton_k]

No sorry Roar, I have tried changing the figures as you suggest but keep getting errors, the last one was "Variable name not found ==> &AVS"

I am just going round in circles as I dont really understand what im changing
