GF166 configuration - X-Plane
Hi Steve,
I am in the process of configuring my two GF166s as in X-Plane follows:
GF166_1 : Com1/Com2 (Configured by selecting COM button to set sim defaults)
GF166_2 : Nav1/Nav2 (Configured by selecting NAV button to set sim defaults)
The GF166s have a centre button which I have configured as an Active/Stby frequency flip-flop. I want to use the Left GF166 button to select COM1 (act/sby) for display (so I chose Input: BUTTON_LEFT1 Input Event ON GF166_CONTROLS1). I want to use the Right GF166 button to select COM2 for (act/sby) for display (so I chose Input: BUTTON_RIGHT1 Input Event ON GF166_CONTROLS2).
The above seems to work. However, the LED green lights are still off (I mean the LEDs that light up when clicking the "Identify" button). So I cannot tell at a glance if COM1 frequencies or COM2 frequencies are showing in the numerical displays. The behaviour I would like to see is:
1) I click BUTTON_LEFT1 and the LEFT LED lights green while RIGHT LED is off
1) I click BUTTON_RIGHT1 and the RIGHT LED lights green while LEFT LED is off
Not sure how to achieve this with the existing DREF logical expression approach? I have the lights correctly working on the RP48B, but the GF166s seem more tricky to choose the correct logical expression.
PS: This is a great bit of software. Thank you for porting this to X-Plane.

Hi Martin,
Have you thought about using the GF166_DEVICE<n>_ACTIVECONFIG built-in Datarefs.
See the GF166 section for more info here: http://www.pollypotsoftware.org.uk/support/user-guide/goflight-interface-tool-x-plane/35-operating/88-configuring-goflight-devices-additional-information.html
Best wishes

I am in the GF166 tab. Device 0 Enabled.
Input BUTTON_LEFT1
Functions:
ON GF166_CONTROLS1
Input Action NOTHING Custom Value 0
Light/Disp Data (Currently Blank)
When I use the Light/Disp Data drop down list, there are many datarefs listed, but none GF166_DEVICE<n>_ACTIVECONFIG.
You are right, they are missing for some reason. I'll fix the issue in the next release.
Best wishes
Steve
