Is there a list of offsets I can use to assign switches to?  I can do the nav, beacon strobe lights, but like the taxi/landing lights I have a 3 way switch.  When I try to assign off, taxi, landing, it doesn't work.  Also some of the other switches don't work.  I have 2 usb boards with 20 spdt and 10 3pdt switches.

Here is a helpful lua file I wrote to handle the Phenom 100 3 position landing and taxi lights in addition to the Nav and Strobe lights.  You can ignore whichever parameters you don't want to assign.  

 

Save the the text below in a text editor to a file called "LUACMDS" or whatever else you choose.  Then use FSUIPC to assign the function "Lua LUACMDS" to a button or switch with a parameter of 1 to move the switch up and parameter 2 to move it down

Thanks, I'll give it a try.

FSUIPC4 Offsets

Took me a while but here is a doc that describes most offsets.  It's a little dated and for FSUIPC4 but still pretty good if you get the desire to do it yourself.

And here is the LUACMDS file.

 

 

I've tried, but nothing happens.  The switch doesn't move nor does the taxi or landing lights come on.  Any ideas.  It's just like you have it.

 

Here's from the log file.

********* LUA: "Luacmd" Log [from FSUIPC version 4.966c] *********

Several thoughts:

1. 4.971 is the latest FSUIPC4 for FSX-SE.  Probably not the problem but if all else fails try updating.

2. The line below seems to indicate there might be a typo or stray character in the LUACMD.lua file.  PM me and attach that file and I'll look it over.

I'm using this lua file in both FSX and P3Dv4 and it works great.  And I've shared it with others here that have also used it successfully so we'll figure it out.  I don't do Steam so I'm not sure why it couldn't find the debug file.

I don't know either.  I use some other lua files for other planes and they work fine.  I'll keep working on it.

Hi all,

sorry for jumping in....

It seems you use a kind of homecockpit. I'm in the building process of a biz jet cockpit based on G1000 like. My question is: How will you get the screens of the PFD and MFD on a monitor without using the VC?

There is no 2D cockpit to derive the 3 screens as I do it with the Mustang. I'd love to have also the Phenom in my home cockpit.

Thanks a lot,
Peter
