airforce2 Posted May 21, 2007 Report Share Posted May 21, 2007 Hi Pete; Are Short names (aircraft title substring matches) enabled in the PFC driver Aircraft Quadrants section like they are in FSUIPC? My Aircraft Quadrants section in pfc.ini is immense...shortnames could cut that down to size considerably. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Aircraft Quadrants section in pfc.ini is immense...shortnames could cut that down to size considerably. Did I implement aircraft-specific assignments in PFC too? I don't remember that? I thought it was mostly based on changing quadrants. Sorry, I'd have to read the documentation for that. Does it say you can? Regards Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airforce2 Posted May 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2007 Pete; I don't see anything specific on the topic. The aircraft-specific assignments are made when you press the "assign to aircraft" button in the driver dialogue window. It places an entry in the Aircraft Quadrants section of the ini file: aircraft_title=Uxx where Uxx is one of the 15 quadrant definitions, yes? The question is, can I use a substring, e.g. Feelthere A3=u15 to catch every aircraft that starts with "Feelthere A3", for example: Feelthere A318IAE Feelthere A320CFM Feelthere A319CJ etc etc Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You had me worried there. The FSUIPC thing isn't like this at all. FSUIPC's aircraft specific sections are complete calibrations, the works. Many possible lines per aircraft. The PFC system limits you to 15 different configurations at max. Each assignment is only one line in the INI file. I'd not call that extravagant, and it certainly won't slow the program's actions down at all. In fact it is probably faster than doing pattern patching on substrings and so on, as in FSUIPC. The question is, can I use a substring[\quote]No, I don't think so. I wouldn't have programmed that in because no one is expected to edit the PFC INI file. In FSUIPC is was a bit different -- editing the INI was expected anyway for ambitios things like conditional buttons, and the calibration sections per aircraft were potentially large and the process of generating them meant complete calibration for everything every time. Not so in PFC, where it was a simple matter of saying "use this user-specified arrangement for this aircraft". As I say, one line max per aircraft.
