I can find keyboard or button assignment for Aviation BUS 1, but can't find anything for BUS 2 to turn my G430 on, so mouse clicking is my only option for now   

 

Any idea ???

 

Cheers

Is it called alternator 2 or generator 2?

... LR doesn't provide Alternator 2 at all , & Generator 2 is no good either, suppose to be Avionic  BUS 1 & Avionic Bus 2, the Saiteks Switch Panel furnished with Avionic Master which is triggering the G530

sorry. mean AVIONIC BUS 2 ...:-)

You need to change the DataRef "set cross_tie": sim/cockpit2/electrical/cross_tie

Ich have written a Lua script for the Cessna 172 REP which switches the Bus2 automatically with Bus1 and also addresses the fuel pump DataRef which REP uses:

if PLANE_ICAO == "C172" then
  set("sim/cockpit/gyros/dg_drift_vac_deg",0)
  DataRef("status_avionics", "sim/cockpit2/switches/avionics_power_on", "readonly")
  DataRef("status_fuelpump", "sim/cockpit2/engine/actuators/fuel_pump_on", "readonly",0)
  DataRef("REP_fuelpump", "simcoders/rep/cockpit2/engine/actuators/fuel_pump_0", "writable")
  DataRef("REP_avionics", "simcoders/rep/cockpit2/switches/avionics_power_on", "writable")
  DataRef("set_crosstie", "sim/cockpit2/electrical/cross_tie", "writable")
  
  function DoSwitches()
    if status_avionics == 1 then
      REP_avionics = 1
      set_crosstie = 1
    else
      REP_avionics = 0
      set_crosstie = 0
    end
    
    if status_fuelpump == 1 then
      REP_fuelpump = 1
    else
      REP_fuelpump = 0
    end
    
  end
  
  do_every_frame("DoSwitches()")
  

end

That is actually not true....X-Plane provides 8 (!) Generators, The corresponding DataRef (sim/cockpit2/electrical/generator_on) is an array of 8 integer values

..tnx... but I have no clue how to deal with DataRef or any sort of programming ..... however, I found out that Cross-Tie on/off or toggle will do the 'Trick"
