AxisandOhs was mentioned as a possible solution in the Microsoft forums on what I'm trying to do.

I'm trying to control the Range dial to zoom in or zoom out of the map in the MFD panel of the G1000 NXi without using the mouse.  That is, use the joystick buttons or keyboard shortcut keys instead.

In previous iterations of flight simulator, this was done with the plus or minus key. Depending on the dial selected these two keys can increase or decrease values, slide up or slide down, or turn left or right control dials. I don't think it's possible in MSFS now. I'm hoping there is some other way. Can this be done with the software?
 

Isn't that controlled by the same HVars as the default G1000?

In this case AS1000_MFD_RANGE_DEC and AS1000_MFD_RANGE_INC ?
(how do I test this? How do I know if the NXi is active or not??)

You will find those two in the "Html Variables" section of the event list. HVars that AAO doesn't know about can be either used in an RPN script or added to the AAO database manually (Scripting menu, bottom of the list)

I have a few of your other programs for P3D, but I don't own AxisandOhs. I have no idea what these terms are eg. "Html Variables", event list, AS100*, RPN script, etc. Before I download the demo version, I'm just wondering if the Range button can be controlled by keyboard shortcut or joystick buttons (Logitech 3d Extreme). 

I just saw it in simMarket but I don't see a link for the trial version.

There is no link. Direct links that go outside the shop are frowned upon I think.

Below the red notice in the product description is the address of the AAO website where you will find the current demo version.

Theoretically yes, using the Html Event mentioned above. In actual application - hard to say. I'm not sure that the NXi is even active on my end. Normally there is always a way, but it may be hard to find - that is how things are with MSFS. Every developer uses different methods for controlling knobs and levers - LVars, HVars, BVars, including "can't be controlled at all". What exactly is required is a constant game of searching for variable names coupled with trial&error.

Thank you. This is probably an exception to the rule but the link to your Wildfire app exists and works.

While there is no link for AAO, I was able to download the AAO demo from the address description. I took a quick look at the AAO manual. It looks extensive and will take more time to digest than I'm willing to do at this point in time. I was hoping AAO would be as easy to use as your unreleased version of WAMA for Windows which I am hoping will eventually get released after MSFS matures or after MSFS change whatever it is that may be preventing you from releasing it for MSFS.

WAMA for MSFS has been released months ago. But since some compromises had to be made, I didn't advertise it. The MSFS version should be in your shop account where you bought the original.

Thank you. I found the Windows version embedded in the "WhereAreMyAircraft_1_22_b3.zip FSX and P3D" file.

I don't understand - all Lorby addons are Windows apps, I don't make any other - ???

And where did you get that file? In the shop there should be one single ZIP with 7 different installers in it. FSX, FSX_SE, P3D V2, V3, V4, V5 and MSFS

Sorry, I should have said I downloaded the version for MSFS from simmarket.com under my purchase order history in a file for FSX and P3D. I bought WAMA way back in 2017.
