Configuration file

The configuration file is named "nm_differential_brakes.ini" and it is located in the same folder of the script.

This is the content of a tipical configuration file:

[ZIBO]
OVERRIDE=false

[DEFAULT]
SECONDS_FOR_MAX_BRAKE_ACTION=10
SECONDS_FOR_ZERO_BRAKE_ACTION=2

[DISPLAY]
SHOW_BRAKES_INFO=true

[B738]
SECONDS_FOR_MAX_BRAKE_ACTION=20
SECONDS_FOR_ZERO_BRAKE_ACTION=2

Let's see the meaning of each parameter...

[ZIBO]
OVERRIDE=false

If OVERRIDE=true, D&P brakes are enabled for the Zibo B738, otherwise the builtin braking mechanism by Zibo is used.

[DISPLAY]
SHOW_BRAKES_INFO=true

If SHOW_BRAKES_INFO=true, the info box is displayed.

[DEFAULT]
SECONDS_FOR_MAX_BRAKE_ACTION=10
SECONDS_FOR_ZERO_BRAKE_ACTION=2

SECONDS_FOR_MAX_BRAKE_ACTION defines how much seconds it will take to apply 100% brakes, if the button is pressed.

SECONDS_FOR_ZERO_BRAKE_ACTION defines how much seconds it will take to go back (from the current braking state) to no brakes, if the button is released.

These values can be customized per aircraft.

To customize the parameters of an aircraft, create a section with the aircraft filename or aircraft tailnumber or the aircraft ICAO identifier and specify the new values under this new section.

D&P brakes will search for these sections in the following order:

• aircraft filename (in uppercase) example: [BARON_58.ACF]

• aircraft tailnumber example: [N7842]

• aircraft ICAO identifier example: [C172]

If none of these sections is found, it will fallback to the [DEFAULT] section.

See the example below:

[B738]
SECONDS_FOR_MAX_BRAKE_ACTION=20
SECONDS_FOR_ZERO_BRAKE_ACTION=2

[C172]
SECONDS_FOR_MAX_BRAKE_ACTION=10
SECONDS_FOR_ZERO_BRAKE_ACTION=1.5

[N7842]
SECONDS_FOR_MAX_BRAKE_ACTION=7
SECONDS_FOR_ZERO_BRAKE_ACTION=1

[BARON_58.ACF]
SECONDS_FOR_MAX_BRAKE_ACTION=5
SECONDS_FOR_ZERO_BRAKE_ACTION=0.5
