GIT Xplane - FF757-200 button actions
Hi All,
I am new to programming myself and X-plane, used work with FSX etc, now changed over. I watched the tutorial and got the switches working nicely on GF T-8 for lights etc, however some of the lights are push buttons and I have a few questions:
- Can I use a toggle switch T8 to manage a push button? Also tried it on a push button but have no event to select and nothing does nothing.
- I have programmed an event not sure if I did it right but looks ok, note that the switches are working in reverse as per previous Boeing toggle set ups etc. to keep consistency, the problem I have is I only have 4 actions to use engine reverser, nothing, repeat and rotate, in FSX I had many like on click, etc. (see attached pic). Any advice will be appreciated.
Thank You Andrè

Hi Andre,
The logic appears off. First thing to always do is test the Bespoke Event in Detective by clicking the Test Bespoke Event button. If it doesn't work as expected it will not work once assigned to your hardware.
Following the tasks through, your code sets a dataref to 0 and then jumps to "ON". The ON code is executed and then EXIT is called. The OFF code is never executed.
I suspect you wish to execute ON or OFF based on the value of a dataref so you would need to use the IF task.
Alternatively if using a T8, create two separate Bespoke Events, one that's sets the dataref (1) and one that unsets the dataref (0). You can then assign one of the Bespoke Events to the ON switch event of the T8 and the other to the OFF switch event.

Assuming the Dataref swings from 0 to some greater value, say 10; all you would need is two Bespoke Events. One would increment the value and the other would decrement the value. You would then assign these to the CLOCKWISE and ANTI-CLOCKWISE rotary events on the hardware using a ROTARY ACTION of ROTATE.
The buttons are present, they simply became icons instead of text buttons. Hover you mouse over the button for what each one does.
Best wishes
Steve
