Forward Overhead Panel - Align/Nav and IAS/Stall Test
Hello,
I'm having two issues to assign commands to the forward overhead panel of my PMDG NGX (P3D V3), using the GF-46 module (I can use other, like the P8 if there is a limitation with the GF-46).
The first one is that I couldn't find the event to rotate the two knobs of IRS to NAV position. Which function should I assign?
The second is that I assigned a few buttons in P8 module to test the sounds of overspeed and stall. They work, but the sound keeps alive, even if I press the button again it won't stop, I need to use de mouse to stop. It's interesting that if I press and hold the IAS Test button with the mouse, drag the mouse outside the forward overhead panel, then stop pressing, the sound keeps alive even after stop pressing. I don't know if this has something to do with the issue. My forward overhead is a 2D panel in windowed mode that I use in a second monitor. Is it possible to assign a function in that the sound works just when a button is holded? (I think there is a function for hold, but it also maintain the sound alive)
Thanks!
Pedro

Try EVT_IRU_MSU_LEFT.
The second issue is probably due to using the wrong Input Action. What are you using?

Thanks for your answer. The IRS selector is working, I just didn't know which event to use.
About the IAS/Overspeed sounds, I have tried almost every input with ON, OFF and HOLD (like EXECUTE, MOUSEDRAG, MOUSERIGHT/LEFT_WIITH_OFF, ...X2, ONOFF, ...REVERSED, ROTATE...). Some of them just don't work because they are not made for that. All the others don't let me turn the sign off. I haven't tried the CUSTOMs because I don't know how they work. When I try to turn off the sign, I can see that the button is being pushed, but the sound doesn't stop. It may be missing something, is there other options to try?
Thanks!

Yes, I know that. I've tried everything with ON and HOLD. Since it was not working, I made a quick test with OFF. I've tried a little harder with the HOLD, because the IAS test button generates the sound when you hold the button. If I release the button, the sound is suppose to stop, which doesn't happen.
Best regards,
Pedro
For the button ON event use EVT_OH_WARNING_TEST_MACH_IAS_1_PUSH using MOUSELEFT as the action.
For the button OFF event, assign a Lua script that contains the following code so when you release the button it will stop the sound:
sendevt("EVT_OH_WARNING_TEST_MACH_IAS_1_PUSH", MOUSE_LEFTRELEASE)I will look at adding the MOUSE_LEFTRELEASE to the Event Actions in the next release (its the first time I have ever seen this needed to be used).
Best wishes
Steve
Control ID="4" EVENTType="NGXEvent" EVENT="EVT_OH_WARNING_TEST_MACH_IAS_1_PUSH" ACTIONType="EventCmd" ACTION="CUSTOM" ACTIONCUSTOMType="Uint" ACTIONCUSTOM="536870912" EVENT2Type="NGXEvent" EVENT2="EVT_OH_WARNING_TEST_MACH_IAS_1_PUSH" ACTION2Type="EventCmd" ACTION2="CUSTOM" ACTIONCUSTOM2Type="Uint" ACTIONCUSTOM2="131072"
The number 536870912 is a parameter to left button mouse press and 131072 is to release the left button (MOUSE_LEFTRELEASE).
Thanks!
