October 11, 20178 yr Hello! Is there any way to assign a keyboard key to control a taxi or logo light switch? I have a panel that have switches (toggle) to taxi and logo lights. I'd like to assign keyboard keys to control them. Is there any way to do this? Regards. Cláudio

FSUIPC essential software for any simmer (get the payware version) Using FSUIPC assign a key to whichever light you like. I have my landing lights key L, Taxi lights key T etc etc. I would make sure the key is not assigned or reassign in the sim first. My FS Videos

I'll try make it, despite that don't know anything about how to configure by FSUIPC.
October 11, 20178 yr Hi Folks, Yeah - just as an end user of some of these features - I think you need to write LUA scripts after you identify the associated LVARS for the switches - it's not quite as simple as it sounds... This is for buttons or switches that don't have a default FS assignment... Someone contributed a complete set for the FSW Lear 35 - - each switch had it's own LUA script - which you then use FSUIPC to assign to a button press or keystroke... Check the FSUIPC manual - but - I don't think that helps with the actual writing of LUA scripts... LUA Example: Quote if ipc.testbutton(3,19) == true then ipc.writeLvar("L:SWITCH_STALL_LIGHT",1) elseif ipc.testbutton(3,19) == false then ipc.writeLvar("L:SWITCH_STALL_LIGHT",0) end Regards, Scott
October 11, 20178 yr It's incredibly easy actually. (I don't think the OP is talking about L:Vars but stock A:vars) Open FSUIPC in sim. Click on Key presses. Click set Press key you wish to assign. scroll through list until you find the light switch you want. Click Apply Done. My FS Videos

Oh - cool - then it's easy - disregard my last - I didn't think the "logo light" had an FSUIPC assignment - which started me down the path... Regards, Scott

October 11, 20178 yr Author Thanks guys for your help. In my case, I'm using Posky 747 model merged with PMDG panel and, there are toggles for taxi and wing lights. Even assigning the key following the instructions, the taxi light and wing lights only turn off using the toggles. I think that it is a payware panel problem (programation) and even using the FSUIPC command, the wing and taxi lights will turn on/off only with the switches.

It would work with XML switches but will not override C+ gauges My FS Videos
