PMDG DC-6 and prop lever

[Seat* 53]

I try to assign my Honeycomb Bravo speed brake (axis Z) to the prop lever for PMDG DC-6 using the RPN script editor. I have followed your instructions in the flightsim forum and used
(L: DC6-PropLever) (> L: dc6_518_obj, Number).

I have also adjusted the axis min and max to 0-150. But its not working. What have I done wrong?

Hard to say.

First, your script is wrong, there are space characters where there shouldn't be any.

This is the correct syntax in the editor:

Quote

(L:DC6-PropLever)·(>L:dc6_518_obj,·Number)

Second, the script must be named exactly as it is shown on my screenshot in the MSFS forum. There cannot be any additional spaces, characters or anything. Otherwise the name for the script LVar is different.

The script variable in my example is (L:DC6-PropLever), because the script is called "PropLever" and it is in the group "DC6".

If the group would be called "Tom" and the script had the name "Harry", then the script variable would be (L:Tom-Harry)

Hi again

It was all about the space characters...Working now. Thank you for the help!

Another user just found out that the PROP_PITCH_AXIS_SET_EX1 SimEvent works too. So there is probably no need to use the LVar method after all.

Hi, "Throttle_axis_set_ex1" works for me.
