Tutorial for the APU with the CCC of FSBUS

This is a translation of Jari Mikkila page

FSBUS 2.2 introduced a new powerful tool. CCC (Cockpit Construccion Center), allowing to implent in a quite easy way all the complex aircraft systems. It has the great advantage of  tools that alloe to simulate events that are not available in some of the commercial Flight simulaturs such as FS2004. For instance the APU or the complex fuel system etc. There are nolimitation for any type of aircraft.

This is an example of programming the APU with CCC


APU Tutorial: 

To properly follow this example, some basics of FSBUS are needed

First of all we create four switches. Three for the APU and the fourth for the engine start. The fith one would be for the second engine start, and so forth.Watch in the shown picture the the a

event adjustment "up and Down" are correct. The switches work as "master" for the APU main Switch, "start" as the starter for the APU engine, "Bleed" as a bleed to generate power from the APU to the Engine, "Eng. Starter" It is the engine starter
 

I Assigned the real switches as FSBUS objects

 
After this the CCC unit will be created.Press edit in the upper right corner in order to get the CCC Editor.In the left side there are several compnents and tools used to make CCC programms .Beneath the Icon there are more compoents.Just choosing one of them and left clicking the mose, new components will appear.Under the Input/output icon there are 4 I/O different componentes, these with the the lines on the right are outputs, for instance for the reading positions of a switch and the compensations of FSUIPC.And these with the line running to the left are the inputs for data via FSUIPC and to displays/ledsetc. The type of icon tells the compatibilty with FSUIPC for FSBUS, Add four inputs of FSBUS.

These will be assigned as inputs for the switch.
Select the first switch, press the mouse right button and from the menu selct properties. You will get this window. Give name to switch and select three dots (...).
