FBW landing lights
I'm enjoying trying to program a switch on the T8 to extend and light the landing lights of the FBW A320. I can get the lights to extend and turn on and to turn off. However, I cannot get the lights to retract into the wings. Any help is appreciated.

sorry its taken so long to respond.
I installed the MSFS beta, only to find GIT wont work with this beta, so therefore I had to roll back.
Ive had MAJOR problems trying to roll back, fighting with the XBOX App installer and MSFS :-(
Anyway Im back to normal, so Ill be able to open up GIT in the FBW aircraft to quote my code.
I'm using Experimental version, so not sure if the lVars are named the same in stable or dev versions.
So the T8 is a toggle, so it can only be in 1 of 2 states.
Given the landing lights actually have 3 positions, you have to decide which out of the 2 you want to use.
The 3 states are On, Off, Retracted.
My code switches between On and Retracted and takes care if the middle state has been accidentally selected.
There are 2 lVars to set for the left landing lights:
LANDING_2_Retracted
LIGHTING_LANDING_2
and 2lVARs for the right landing lights:
LANDING_3_Retracted
LIGHTING_LANDING_3
Its your decision whether you want 1 T8 switch per side, or 1 switch to do both sides
My example will use 1 switch for both sides.
So the code for RETRACTED bespoke event looks like:
Remark:Retract left LL
LANDING_2_Retracted = 1
LIGHTING_LANDING_2 = 2
Remark:Retract right LL
LANDING_3_Retracted = 1
LIGHTING_LANDING_3 = 2
So the code for ON bespoke event looks like:
Remark: Turn On left LL
LANDING_2_Retracted = 0
LIGHTING_LANDING_2 = 0
Remark:Turn On right LL
LANDING_3_Retracted = 0
LIGHTING_LANDING_3 = 0
Set the on action for your T8 switch to call the Bespoke Event for ON
set the off action for your T8 switch to call the Bespoke Event for RETRACTED
