KA-285 annunciator

Question

Hi Vlad,

great work as ever and for me almost perfect with my Baron B58 built according your B58 project.
But there is one thing that I don't understand, the autopilot annunciator KA-285 in the SimVim Panel together with the standard Laminar Baron B58.
I try to explain:

1. When starting a new flight with the Laminar Baron B58 everything is OFF in the (simplified?) autopilot annunciator on the x-plane screen, but the KA-285 on SimVim shows FD indicator ON.
2. Pressing the AP pushbutton on the x-plane display shows FD and AP ON in the display and no change in the SimVim panel
3. Pressing FD multiple times toggles FD ON/OFF on the display and AP ON/OFF on the SimVim panel
...and other differences between the two displays like
4. Just pressing ALT changes nothing on the SimVim panel
(I hope I've  got everything correct so far)
So the question for me is, shows the SimVim panel the correct indicators and I don't understand it right or might it be possible to have the simplified version on the SimVim panel?

Thank you

ben

Hi Ben,

OK, we will check this out, it need to be revised and finished.
I will let you know, or you will see an update (or remind me later if I forget)

Hi Ben,

Sorry, while we were busy with other stuff, we didn't work on the panel for a while. Now we're back to it, and will make a fix for this module soon.

I've uploaded the updated B58 modules with reworked annunciator configuration. Not everything may work fully correctly yet (we'll need to do some more testing), but at least the major inconsistencies were fixed.

Hello and thank you for updating the panel logic. It seems to work OK.
