VAS alarm sound possible ?


Recommended Posts

Hi Pete,

 

Is it possible to create some kind of alarm sound ( beep )  if the free VAS is at a very low value ?

 

In this way one does not have to watch the current VAS monitor continuesly on the taskbar instead and one can look at the instruments / scenery more.

 

 

Thanks in advance,

FSUIPC already does this, a pair of beeps at <= 300Mb left. I can be suppressed in the INI file but it is defaulted on.

 

If you want a different sound or a different threashold you'd need to make a little Lua plug-in to monitor the offset and play the sound you want.

Pete,

 

One question regarding to the VAS alarm: Is it possible to suppress the audible alarm without stopping also providing the actual VAS value in the offset? I have a small routine running on a second PC connected via WideFS showing the actual VAS value in a small window. So I have it always in sight and if I reach my critical level it turns red. And it's a great help to tune the settings in a way to avoid thos OOMs.  But I wanted to disable the audible alarm (as my wife always gets nervous :???: hearing this sound). I was able by setting the OOMcheck=No to suppress the "dong" but then my VAS readout on my WideFS PC was always 0.

 

P3D 2.4, FSUIPC 4.937a, WideFS 6.999m, WIN 7-64bit

Not at present, but it is easy to add. I'll provide "OOMcheck=Quiet" for this. It'll be in 4.937b, some time this week. Up to my eyes in other stuff at present.
