Poor passengers will have to spend over an hour trapped at 20k feet and listening to my death metal playlist.

Yep, all joking aside, itās great to see that bit of feedback above didnāt go unnoticed! 
Yea. Iām not hurting for performance on my machine, but I just donāt care about anything I canāt see from the pilots seat.
In fact, Iād be fine with a cockpit that delivered with no real external model in some cases.

We already have the option to toggle the passenger cabin On/Off via the EFB menu.

Hi, I was a bit confused about that option. Iāve already unchecked cabin and restarted the sim. I loaded onto another flight and could still see those passenger seats when I opened the cockpit door. How is this option supposed to be? The manual isnāt quite clear about the effect I thought.
Edit: Iām not using state saving but I suppose this option is saved because the checkbox is empty on the new flight.
With the interior cabin option disabled (unticked), the cabin will be hidden when the cockpit door is closed but shown when the cockpit door is open, to prevent the odd appearance youād get of an invisible cabin. The idea being that, if performance is an issue, you disable the cabin and leave the door closed.

You guys think of everything! First time i noticed this with the Instrument Display Info! It shows only what is useful and not everything you can read also

Aha, I was trying to check if the cabin actually disappeared so I opened the cockpit door! Thanks for the explanation and I will close the door behind me

Iāve had issues - usually when using autopilot while flying straight and level, where the elevator will pitch down by itself, the autopilot disconnects, and sometimes I canāt manually correct the trim before overstress.
I usually start the flight in Ready for Takeoff mode, so Iām not manually configuring the a/c prior to takeoff.
Any ideas?
Hi,
I just created few FIP gauges for the BAe-146. Everything is working fine with the exposed variables (LVARs), but regarding the ASI, Iām not sure how to use some of them. Does anyone know the units and scales used for these?
- LVAR:L_ASI_Mach_Card
- LVAR:L_ASI_Bug_Barber

Unfortunately those lvars arenāt very useful for your task as they are used for driving the 3D animations rather than containing actual barber pole or Mach values.
The barber pole (VMO) is ultimately driven by the āA:AIRSPEED BARBER POLE, Knotsā variable and the Mach card by the āA:AIRSPEED MACH, Machā variable so youāre probably better off using those directly.

Thanks a lot for your feedback Martyn. I really appreciate.
In fact, thatās exactly what Iām looking for. I would like to get some specs (units, scales, offset) regarding these two LVARs (LVAR:L_ASI_Mach_Card and LVAR:L_ASI_Bug_Barber) to drive the 2D gauges graphical elements.
I managed to use them using an empirical approach, but thatās not very clean
We use interpolation for our animations. Here are the scales that are being used for that (left value is the input from the relevant AVAR with some custom logic applied, right value is the animation position - the value used for the lvar):
VMO barber pole:
(160.0, 0.0);
(200.0, 25.0);
(250.0, 53.0);
(300.0, 75.0);
(350.0, 94.0);
(370.0, 100.0);
Mach card:
(0.40, 0.0);
(0.45, 11.0);
(0.50, 21.5);
(0.55, 31.0);
(0.60, 39.5);
(0.65, 47.5);
(0.70, 57.0);
(0.75, 66.0);
(0.80, 74.5);
(0.85, 83.0);
(0.90, 92.0);
(0.95, 100.0);
ASI needle:
(0.0, 0.0);
(60.0, 19.0);
(80.0, 52.0);
(100.0, 87.0);
(120.0, 119.0);
(140.0, 147.0);
(160.0, 172.0);
(200.0, 218.0);
(250.0, 266.0);
(300.0, 304.0);
(350.0, 337.0);
(400.0, 366.0);
(420.0, 377.0);

Perfect!
I found the same values for the ASI needle, but was not able to handle the scales of the barber pole and of the MACH card.
Thanks again.

Anyone have any ideas?
Sorry, Iāve never experienced that. But I always start my flights from C&D state.
So, okay, anyone want to indulge me and figure out what happened here?
Flying the ILS into Paris at IAF altitude, configured at flaps 15 and all of a sudden autopilot shut off on me. Airspeed? Did I stall? This video clip starting at 2 hours and 8 minutes or so becomes a masterclass clown show of trying to engage autopilot again. I stepped away from the BAe for a long time and this was my attempt to get back on the horse. Pretty pleasant flight otherwise but Iād like to know what went wrong here.
Also - that ātoggle afterburnerā mapping for AP sync, where you can direct your own pitch and re-engage - is that supposed to disengage AP when TMS is set to descent? I ensured no conflicting mappings, sync button worked fine on the climb but it would disengage AP on my descent.
Thanks for the help, sorry for the awful flight video.
