Hello,

 

I’m using a StreamDeck XL along with the H145 panel from Guenseli (available here: https://flightsim.to/profile/Guenseli/uploads/category/120).

 

His work is amazing, so I highly recommend checking it out!

 

That said, I have a question. When flying the H145, for example, with the Autopilot  IAS set to 80 kts and the ALT set to 3,500 feet, selecting an autopilot function toggles its ON/OFF state. 

 

Is there a way to select IAS, CRHT, ALT, for example, without toggling the ON/OFF state?

 

I also have a Knobster and would like to use it to adjust various settings in the H145. However, when I select an autopilot function, it toggles its state. I want to simply select the function so the Knobster knows which value I’m trying to change.

 

I’m using Axis and Ohs along with AirManager. Any thoughts or help on how to achieve this would be greatly appreciated!

I am pretty sure that you will have to script that. There is nothing simple about this, as the helicopter itself doesn't have this functionality (it has dedicated knobs for each item), you have to do it yourself.

Off the top of my head I would say you create a status LVar that denotes which AP item you mean, and then make two big scripts, one each for left and right turn, that do different things depending on what value your status LVar has (= 0 changes alt, 1 changes IAS, 2 changes CRHT, etc.). And you will have to find a way to toggle through the different states of that LVar. I'd suggest using the click function of the Knobster for that or make your own SD profile for this (=buttons that set the LVar to a certain value and thus make the Knobster act in a specific way).

The challenge is the aircraft that you are trying to do this with, because the behavior code of the H145 and his siblings is obfuscated to the max. You will not be able to figure out what variable or event is triggered by which knob without using the MSFS developer mode.

Other than that, only @guenseli knows how and why his scripts and SD actions work like they do. I would suggest contacting him directly when you have change requests.
