I fly the Vision Jet from FlightFX. It has a short list of non standard bindings. For a few days I have been trying to figure out how to assign those options to my regular keyboard (so no other hardware or streamdecks or whatever). You'd think it would be extremely easy to get this done but I can't find a clear tutorial about this anywhere. I read about scripts and lvars and hvars and all kinds of utterly complicated stuff but SIMPLE information doesn't seem to be available.

So... can someone tell me
1. if it is possible to assign non standard bindings to a regular keyboard key AND
2. how this can be done? You'd think this could be explainable in one or two sentences...?

Examples of what I'd like to assign to keys:

Checklists
Scroll Up : H:checklist_scroll_up
Scroll Down : H:checklist_scroll_down
Select : H:checklist_checklist_select

Storage Cover
sf50_ va ms_stati c_sto rag e_cove r
0 = OFF' l = ON

Head phones
sf50_vams_static_headphones
0 = OFF' l = ON
" O " means off of head and placed on the
dash

Chocks
chocks : sf50_vams_static_chocks
0 = O F F l = ON '

Covers a nd Protectors
sf50_vams_static_covers
0 = OFF l = ON

Hello,

the spec is a little unclear as to what those items are.

I suggest that you go to "Scripting->RPN Scripts Editor" in AAO and try them out. When they work, save that script under a name of your choice and assign it to the button.
Code to test
1 (>H:checklist_scroll_up)
1 (>H:checklist_scroll_down)
1 (>H:checklist_scroll_select)

The others are probably LVars (does it say anything about that in the spec?)
Try this code (this toggles the LVar between the values 0 and 1):
1 (L:sf50_vams_static_storage_cover, Number) - (>L:sf50_vams_static_storage_cover, Number)

After you made sure what those items really are, you can alternatively add them to the AAO database (bottom of the Scripting menu). But simply using scripts is easier I think.

Here is a package that contains ready made scripts. Maybe those that you seek are among them.

FlightFX Cirrus SF50 Vision AAO Scripts & StreamDeck XL Profile for Microsoft Flight Simulator | MSFS

Never mind the StreamDeck profile, you only want to import the Script XML file.

Thanks for the quick replies and that link! I'll have a look at it!

Try the script code above first. Nothing to it. Connect to the sim, wait until you are sitting in the cockpit. Copy & paste the code above (one line at a time!) into the editor box and press the "Test" button. You will see right away if it works or not.
