I am not sure how AAO resolves the use of one switch with a ON and OFF function so as to perform two distinct events. In my case, I am trying to have a Parking brake On when the button is on, and Parking brake off when the same button is released. In MSFS it's simple; how is it done in AAO. I cannot use the MSFS option, since this particular aircraft, JF F28, uses LVARS. thank you.

? With the key down and key up event boxes?

Option 1:
- Connect AAO to the sim, wait until you are sitting in the cockpit of the F28
- Execute "Scripting->Read LVars from sim", wait until it completes
- Add a new button, the LVars are in the usual event list, in the group "Local simulator variables". I suggest using the "Filter" to find the one you are looking for (=when the event selection dialog opens, immediately start typing "park" and press "Enter")
- Dial in 0 or 1 into the value boxes of the Key Down and Key Up events as required.

Option 2:
- Enter the LVar manually using "Scripting->Input Custom Variables Manually".
- Assign the button the same way as in 1., the variable will be in the group that you specify on the input dialog

Option 3:
- Create two scripts for ON and OFF that you assign to your button(s), using the LVar directly

Parking Brake On
1·(>L:F28_CAPT_Park_Brake_Lever,·Number)

Parking Brake Off
0·(>L:F28_CAPT_Park_Brake_Lever,·Number)

Option 4:
- Create two scripts for ON and OFF that you assign to your button(s), using the default parking brake toggle (yes, that works with the F28 too) - these scripts should then be usable in every aircraft

Parking Brake On
(A:BRAKE·PARKING·POSITION,·Bool)·0·==·if{·1·(>K:PARKING_BRAKES)·}

Parking Brake Off
(A:BRAKE·PARKING·POSITION,·Bool)·1·==·if{·1·(>K:PARKING_BRAKES)·}
