TOUCH PORTAL ADVANCED: How to Create a Fully Animated Landing Gear Lever with Annunciator Lights

[@Waere2]

Your KZbin tutorials has triggered me to start some pages for my Dash8 Q400. Thanks for the clear explanation of each step. Is helping me a lot.

[@funofflying15]

You're welcome and good luck with your Dash 8 project. If you need any help, then please let me know? Regards Paul :-)

Very well explained. I am not into flight sims at all cause my PC is to bad but I searched a lot for some advanced TouchPortal site building. Stumbled over your vid and it's great. From here I can convert the Infos to my needs.

Welcome you, us providing, always good content and videos! I would like to ask you a question, what is your solution for magnetic switches, I am building a F-16 home cockipit, and Honeywell magnetic switches are very expensive, going after a DIY solution! Please would like your opinion on this! Thanks!

[@funofflying15]

Many thanks for your kind words, much appreciated :-) To be honest, I've never used magnetic switches in my cockpit setup, so I'm not familiar with how they work. What do you currently use them for exactly? Regards Paul

Again I am so impressed with your clear, concise and structured instruction … thank you. As a creative and a draftsman I’m enjoying the building of the graphics content but have been completely lost when it comes to developing the instruction sets required for functionality … you have helped this dunderhead understand same at least enough to get me started … so PLEASE do not change your presentation approach as you continue to develop your series. With regards this landing gear button set, it has occurred to me that there is an element missing that you might be able to include in your logic development and this is a TIME component for the illumination of the lights closer representing reality … I fly a Mossie in DCS and am building an iPad TP set of pages for this aircraft … and would like to see the lights illuminating after the gear has had time to transition and lock home. Is this at all possible please?

Hi Steve, once again, many thanks for your kind words 😎. We’re currently away on our boat for a couple of weeks, so I’ll look further into whether a short delay on the landing gear annunciator lights is possible, but from memory, I suspect that it is. I’ll let you know ASAP! I have recently downloaded the free DCS simulator app in order to find out what the possibilities are with TP, which may well prove useful, especially as it appears that a number of my subscribers also use it. The stock aircraft in DCS seem to have very poor quality graphics (low definition) so I’ll probably purchase the F/A 18C Hornet, which I realise is still in early access development, but still looks very good from a definition point of view. Many thanks again for your comments, as it make the effort of putting these videos together all the more worthwhile 😅 Kind regards Paul

Hello, Friend! Do you know how to draw PCB in any program? I'm trying to design a small board, to get the GERBER, to do in JPCBL, but I'm not succeeding! Please would you do that? Thanks!!

[@funofflying15]

I don't know how to design printed circuit boards, but I can design wiring layouts using the Fritzing desktop app, as per some of my previous videos :-) I'll have a look though, to see if there is any software available for PCB's? Regards Paul

[@funofflying15]

Actually I've just had a look at the Fritzing app and it does have a PCB design page. It only costs around $10.00 US and you can download the latest version 0.9.9 from fritzing.org/download/. Hope this helps, regards Paul
