All,

First what a great program, If you need a light in a place where one is not to include a better light for lighting up the runway this is the program for you.  I am so impressed by it.  5 stars for sure.  Now that said one weak point is that you have to manually a lunch the applications and then turn the lights on or off from withing in that application.  Not a big deal but it requires effort and a pause away from P3D.  Now supposedly there is a pop windows that will allow you to control the lights but it is not DirectX 12 compatible at this point. Now, let me say I am not a programmer at all, but can anyone figure out a way to use a simple key stroke to turn on the lights on or off.  Then it could be mapped to a switch on my flight controller using SPAD.Next or FSUIPC?  In my head I see how this would work but I have no idea how to implement it. a macro maybe? IDK.  Anyone have some thoughts?  I have asked the same question on the FSlabs board but thought I would post it here as well.

 

Good day...

I'm using SimStarter to launch Spotlights along side of V5.

The pop up window that allows me to turn FSL on/off/brighten/darken works fine for me.

if you are using FSUIPC, you can also use this to launch (and stop) this (or any other) application when needed.

I agree on the pop up but what I am looking for is a way to map the Radio button on the application to my Yoke light switch. so i don't have to switch to the application to click the lights on and off, a keyboard shortcut like SHIFT F1 would permit me to do this.  I think it has to be coded in the program though.  Although I have been thinking about a macro that might work but again I am not a programmer so I don't know how practical this is to do either.
