For those with Steering Lock issues

For those who have trouble activating steering lock by using the tailhook key assignment, try the following if you've got FSUIPC:

-- Steering lock center pedestal button: activate
if ipcPARAM == 1 then
    ipc.writeLvar("L:STEER_LOCK", 1)
    ipc.writeLvar("L:STEER_ON", 1)
end

-- Yellow Yoke Button (Master switch) to turn off steering lock
if ipcPARAM == 2 then
    ipc.writeLvar("L:STEER_ON", 0)
end

Put these lines in a file (e. g. Lear35A.lua) in your FSUIPC Modules folder. Then, assign controller buttons the "LuaLear35A" command with the respective parameter set to 1(activate) or 2(deactivate).

Doing it that way, steering lock has never failed to work for me.
