I've learned how to do a toggle for a 2-way switch, is there a way to toggle a 3-way switch with a single button on my HOTAS? IE: the landing light in the Kodia has 0-off, 1-strobe, 2-On. Can I sequentially switch 0-1-2-1-0? 

I can simply switch between off and on with this: 

2·(L:SWS_LIGHTING_Switch_Light_Landing,·Number)·-·(>L:SWS_LIGHTING_Switch_Light_Landing,·Number)

but I don't know if there's a way to do a 3-way with a single button. 


Ohh, one more question I've had - Is there a way to use AAO to change settings in MSFS? Specifically, I'd like to toggle on/off the AI radio assist.

Sure, this can be scripted too, using the "seq" or "iseq" operators. "seq" is used when you have a unique sequece where no value is repeated (0-1-2-3). "iseq" is for sequences where values are there more than once (0-1-2-1-0)

0·1·2·(L:SWS_LIGHTING_Switch_Light_Landing,·Number)·3·seq·(>L:SWS_LIGHTING_Switch_Light_Landing,·Number)
This will toggle 0-1-2-0-1-2-..

or
0·1·2·1·(L:SWS_LIGHTING_Switch_Light_Landing,·Number)·(L:SWS_LALISEL_IDX)·4·iseq·(>L:SWS_LIGHTING_Switch_Light_Landing,·Number)·(>L:SWS_LALISEL_IDX)
This will toggle 0-1-2-1-0-1-2-1-0..
"SWS_LALISEL_IDX" is an invented LVar, it contains the current index that the sequence is at. This must be named differently and uniquely for each iseq script.

No, that is not possible. Settings are not accessible from the outside, unless you find them in the SDK Events/Variables or figure out a CoherentGT command to make that change (AAO can send those). But in most cases, the simulation has to be stopped in order to make a settings change, they cannot be altered "on the fly" (pun intended).

That being said, you could create a mouse script in AAO that stops the simulation, calls up the settings menu, changes the setting, saves it and returns to the sim.

Thanks! I saw the "iseq" and wondered if that's what I needed, but wasn't sure how it would be scripted. Thanks for the info. 

As far as the settings....I figured it wasn't possible, but thought I'd ask. Thanks again
