PMDG type EFIS function for XPlane

Hi Steve 

I'm wondering if you have any advice on how to make the EFIS work in XPX like it does for the PMDG in FSX/P3D. 

Referring to the way you made the BARO and DH etc emulate the missing features on the GF EFIS (CTR TFC etc)

I sort of figured out to use the "hold" function for the FF777 but it still fires the ON and OFF when I release the knob or button. I'd like to try improve it so that it works like you made it work with the PMDG

 Basically trying to figure out a way to make the ON or OFF not fire if I use the HOLD.

 I have an idea to possibly set a bespoke variable when HOLD activates, then try to make  the OFF  drop out on an IF or trigger if the bespoke variable wasn't set. Then set the reset the variable again .

Some aircraft datarefs do a button push and release when you just send the dataref a 1 (FF777) but some aircraft require sending a 1 to push it in and a zero to release the button(x737)

    Nevermind

    I finally figured out where I went wrong, I had to reset the bespoke variable as it passed through the on state and set the bespoke variable in the hold state it's working a treat now.  

    Sometimes I get a brain block and can't figure it out no matter how long I stare at it. Once I walk away for a bit and come back I figure it out right aways...

    Oh well maybe someone else can learn from my mistakes.

    Hi-

    In searching for my problem I see that you have the EFIS working in the PMDG 737.  I can't get mine to work.  The EFIS shows up in my interface  tool, but there is no response at all when I push buttons, turn dials, or throw switches.  Did you do something special to get yours to function?  Thanks.

    Hi did you try to set it to compatible addon in your GF config program?
