Hi Folks. I'm new to this forum and I'm looking for some help with mapping the Longtitude MFD GTC's rotary knobs to my Xtouch mini rotary knobs. A friend over in the WT Discord channel gave me this event  AS3000_TSC_Vertical_2_INC/DEC for zooming the screen. However, the list of html variables in AAO does not list that. How would I find that in AAO? To be fair, my friend uses a different programme from AAO. Can anyone advise me on the best way to find the correct event for zooming the MFD screen in AAO? I don't mind a spot of trial and error, but I am unsure how to do that for html events. I have watched a few YT videos and have grasped the basics of using AAO but I am not a techy with regard to the various sim events and variables.

Regards...Kenny.

Assuming from the name that this is an HVar (HTML Variable in AAO) you have two options:
1. wrap it into an RPN script like this:
1 (>H:AS3000_TSC_Vertical_2_INC, Number)
(there is a "Test" button on the RPN Editor, so you can make sure that you got it right) - and assign the script to your encoder turn

or

2. add this HVar to the AAO database using "Scripting->Input custom variables manually" (there are test buttons on that dialog too - for an HVar it shouldn't matter which one you use)

In both cases, make sure that AAO is connected to the sim and you are sitting in the cockpit of the plane (otherwise the "test" doesn't work - obviously...)

Option 1 has the benefit that you can easily update the name should it change (again) in the future.

Thanks for the prompt reply. I appreciate it. I have to say that your response will require quite a bit of research on my part. This will be an interesting journey for me. I am by no means  conversant with the inner workings of RPN. I'll go away and have a trial of what you propose and do some homework on AAO. I am keen to learn though.

Cheers...Kenny.
