fsam, you're describing things that mean little to me I'm afraid. I haven't a clue what EP is or does. The GRD PWR light staying on or off throughout the various phases of the flight is not a major issue for me. GSX prevents me pushing back with GRD PWR connected and I also have a checklist to make sure I do the right…
-
Okay, thanks.
-
That's an interesting take on things. Would that be possible Steve?
-
Thanks Steve. I’ll have a word with Pete but it’s not a big issue with the LED. I can now turn on GRD PWR with a single switch which is the main thing. The LED is just the icing on the cake.
-
Thanks Steve. I've assigned the lua script but the light doesn't go on or off.
-
Steve, really sorry but where is the GIT Lua console? Separate executable or within GIT? I can't see any reference to LUA.
-
I've never used LUA before so need my hand holding. I have all the key presses plus the GRD PWR switch working on a T8 switch. How can I send the value of that variable via a FSUIPC command? I know any LUA file in the Modules folder is automatically executed. Sorry to ask basic questions.
-
Steve, Having done all that I've hit a problem. The switch I want to assign to that LUA script currently holds all the commands used by FSUIPC to navigate to the CDU and select keys to turn GRD PWR on and off. If I replace those with the call to the LUA program then GRD PWR won't work. I suppose the solution is to embed…

Thanks Steve, that's nice of you. Do you need anything from me?

Steve, Detective is disabled with the PMDG737 loaded.

Morning Steve. I've done as you suggested but the LED always remains on. Here is the entry in PMDG.xml... Control ID="1" EVENTType="NGXEvent" EVENT="EVT_CDU_L_MENU" ACTIONType="EventCmd" ACTION="CUSTOM" LIGHTType="Var" LIGHT="Bespoke Var 0" LIGHTACTIONType="LightCmd" LIGHTACTION="ON" LIGHTVALUEType="Float" LIGHTVALUE="1"…
-
Hi Steve, I shall try that tomorrow. Thanks very much.
-
Steve, just for info. I've got around the problem of trying to assign multiple commands to a single switch. Take Deice for example. I assign the command for a single Deice switch and light via GIT and for the remaining switches I use FSUIPC Button commands in conjunction with the PMDG SDK for the same switch. That way the…
-
Thanks Steve, that worked. It's also stopped the LEDs for other commands on the same T8 being extinguished.
-
Thanks Steve. Given its age do you think they will issue a fix? In the meantime I'll workaround the problem.
-
No, operating the P/Brake in the VC doesn't affect the LEDs. Just physically flicking the GoFlight T8 swich. I removed that command from the GFConfig program and tried to assign the brake via GIT. But I cannot get it to operate both on and off. It will engage the brake but not disengage it. I consider myself reasonably…
-
Hi Steve, I've tried what you suggest but the light only goes off briefly when the switch moves to the OFF position. As you know it then move to a middle position and at that point the light comes back on. As well as trying Light Action of ON I have also tried OFF_LESS_THAN, OFF_GREATER_THAN, ON_LESS_THAN and…
-
Steve, I'll check this tomorrow but could you just confirm the values of the three-way switch. Bear in mind it always returns to a central position. So is that a value of 3 with on being 1 and off being 0? If so then it's always at 3 with 0 and 1 being transitory.
-
Hi Steve, That is the command I'm using. Given it's a boolean my options appear limited. LED Always On or Always Off. I don't have a GF46 unit and although I have a GF166 I don't follow your reasoning that it can be used to check its status. That would be a temporary assignment I guess but I don't know how to set things up…
-
Thinking about this away from the PC I’m guessing 0 is Off but not sure if 1 is On and 2 is the middle position. Or perhaps 2 is On and 1 is the middle position. The light does extinguish briefly when I choose Off for the Light with a value of 0. But it then returns to the middle position and then comes back on again.…
-
Hi Steve, I know absolutely nothing about LUA so that will have to wait. Maybe you could look at multiple commands per switch in a future version. Saves everyone having to learn LUA. ;-)
-
I had read those Steve but I think my mistake was typing “battery” into the search box. That did not find the entry you referred to in an earlier reply. “bat” would have done. I live and learn. Is it possible to execute two commands on a single switch? In the case of the battery switch it would be useful to be able to…
-
Okay Steve, the penny has dropped. You were referring to the Light Data dropdown. That wasn't obvious. Also, an example in the help would have saved me a couple of hours of frustration.
-
Steve, I had a look at your help section and it clearly states all PMDG NGX actions should be preceded with EVT_. https://www.pollypotsoftware.org.uk/support/user-guide/user-guide-git/19-operating/36-configuring-goflight-devices-additional-information-pmdg-ngx-77x-747x.html I'm confused. I'm using the 64-bit GIT version…
-
These are the drop-down options.
-
Steve, I've just checked and there aren't any variables with DATA listed. This is what is presented to me in the drop-down.
-
Thanks Steve. I’ll try that tomorrow and report back.

Hi Steve. Just to let you know my faulty GoFlight vertical speed wheel has been repaired and is now working fine. I couldn’t do it myself but Chris of Fulcrumsim.com visited Heald Green yesterday where the NWFSB has its monthly meeting and did the repair for me. Thanks for helping with the link to John at GoFlight.
-
Hi Steve, thanks for that. But looking at the image in the link it looks like a rotary knob like heading or altitude. Are we talking about the vertical speed wheel?
-
Thanks Steve. That would be very helpful.
