May 5, 20233 yr Hello again..just a quick question. How do we program AAO to cope with the short press on Xtouch mini to SWITCH into another mode. so for example Altitude..normally say 1000s of feet on knob turn short press the button to use 100s of feet on knob turn Hope that makes sense..cant see how to set up the switch press ...I know the Lvars, but how do I enter that so it works when button is short pressed on Xtouch Mini Thanks. !

Then you assign the CLICK Event on the Rotary Encoder as a Combo button in "is Toggle" mode on all four, and the "suppres..." option activate for either both 100s or both 1000s, so only two of them are active at each given moment. Then clicking on the encoder will switch betwenn 100 or 1000 increments. Or, if you are dealing with LVars, maybe write a script that switches an increment variable from 100 to 1000 and back. Or... There are probably a dozen possible approaches. You need to find the one that is best applicable to your use case and aircraft. Also, make sure to browse through flightsim.to, I've seen a couple of ready made X-Touch templates. And the excellent X-Touch Gauge and Configurator made by Funatic.  Edited May 5, 20233 yr by Lorby_SI LORBY-SI

Perfect ! ..will give that a try and let you know If I need any further help.. again thanks for the awesome support !Â
May 5, 20233 yr Author Hmm thats not working.. I must have misunderstood... I have 2 button assignments for alt inc - 100 and 1000 (assigned to rotary right turn ) 2 for alt decrease 100 and 1000 (assigned to same rotary left ) then ive gone to assigned combo box on all four..pressed the short click button (rotary push) and then ticked "is toggle" so all four are the same in that box.. (such a pain we cant attach pics here) anyway what is now happening is that both 100 and 1000 are lighting up and it only increments/decrements by 1000 ... when button pushed... nothing happens when rotaries are turned I clearly have something set wrong EDIT ..it works if i ONLY have click event as combo assigned and ticked on the 1000 assignments , and remove those from the 100 assignments  🙂   Edited May 5, 20233 yr by vsukpadman

This option "inverts" the action of the Combo button. That way two will fire when the Combo is on while the other two are suppressed, and vice versa. Edited May 5, 20233 yr by Lorby_SI LORBY-SI
