I’ve largely adopted the use of referring to indexed circuits by name instead of by index throughout my work, as in RPN usage such as (A:CIRCUIT ON:‘PFD’_n, bool), for example. I’ve also seen, through testing and through other discussions on this forum, how they can be used within other XML files such as the panel.xml. No issues so far.
However, within the [FUEL_SYSTEM], the current SDK documentation shows the following for connecting a circuit to a valve or pump:
Valves:
Pumps:
I did think then to check the flighting SDK docs, which has updated descriptions for these items that suggest that they can take the name, as opposed to an index integer.
However, for the valve circuit entry, it still shows that an integer is required, and the example image given still shows the integer index value being set:
For the pump index entry, the updated description does show the name being used as the description text describes, but the table still shows that this is supposed to be an integer value:
While these updates in the flighting docs clearly need correction, do these updated descriptions mean that the ability of the fuel system components to take circuit names instead of indexes is a change in SU5? Or does this simply reflect a documentation update, and the ability already exists in SU4?
