310 Redux Landing Light switch

[tttocs]

I was working at getting my switch panel properly setup for the new 310 yesterday and ran into an issue with programming the landing light switch.  It's a 3 position switch which appears to do LL extension on the middle position and turn the LL on in the 3rd.  Anybody have any hints on doing this with a 2 position switch?  Using SPAD.neXt, but the general principle is what I'm after.

TIA

I looked into LVAR handlers for that, but could not find anything. Might be something to bring up to Milviz. I set panel for the default landing lights and just leave the switch in the middle (light outs but off). The switch on the panel will operate the lights at that point. Not perfect, but functional.

What I wanted to do was just set the on position as light deployed and on and the off as light off and retracted.

Yep, that's what I was attempting as well, but I can't seem to find what deploys the light either.

The mouse logic for the landing lights is as follows:

	(M:Event) 'RightSingle' scmp 0 ==
	if{ (L:SwitchLL, enum) -- 0 max (>L:SwitchLL, enum) }
	(M:Event) 'LeftSingle' scmp 0 ==
	if{ (L:SwitchLL, enum) ++ 2 min (>L:SwitchLL, enum) }
	(L:SwitchLL,enum) 2 == if{ (>K:LANDING_LIGHTS_ON) }
	(L:SwitchLL,enum) 2 != if{ (>K:LANDING_LIGHTS_OFF) }

Essentially to make it a binary choice, you need only set the (L:SwitchLL,enum) from zero (0) to two (2). This will extend the light housings. You will need to also set the sim's default K:Event as above.

In other words send (>K:LANDING_LIGHT_ON) at the same time you set the switch to 2, and send (>K:LANDING_LIGHT_OFF) when the switch is set to 0.

I'll give that a try.  Thanks much for the info!

Same here.  Everything working perfectly now.

Thank you!
