Hello, I am trying to set up my Honeycomb yoke for the above plane but am struggling with how to do the maneuver roll pitch switch in particular.  It is a button that is supposed to be held down while changing the pitch, then released.  I turned on the "watch events" feature in AAOs and found the event that is triggered when I press the switch on the yoke and I assigned that event to my own yoke.  It seems, though, that once I  press my button the sim thinks that switch is being held down; as though it is turned on but I can't turn it off.  I know there is the ability to add an event when releasing the button but I can't find an event that turns the maneuver switch off.  I can only find the on event.

I have a similar issue with the nose wheel steering switch.  I can turn it on but not off, but that isn't really an issue as it turns off automatically at take-off.

Looking for some guidance on how to best do this.  I have not found any templates or scripts for this plane with my searches.

Thanks.

Events also require the correctvalue being sent to them. Most likely this event (which one exactly??) requires different values for key down and key up. Would make sense.

What simulator are we talking about? Where exactly is that switch located? 

Also, don't rely on the watcher dialog. It shows the result(s) of the mouse action, not the cause. If you are using MSFS or MSFS2024, use the Developer Mode to inspect the behavior code of the control you are interested in. 

Activate dev mode -> Open "Tools->Behaviors" -> Click back into the sim -> Hover the mouse over the button/knob/lever that you are interested in and press Ctrl - G
This usually brings up the behavior code of that control, and you can inspect the "...Interaction..." / "...MouseRect..." elements for what is happening when you use the mouse. That is what you want to replicate in AAO.

Assuming that you mean the switch on the top of the right hand yoke handle "MANUV"

Key Down:
1 (>B:GENERIC_Manuv_RP_Switch_Pilot_1_Set)

Key Up
0 (>B:GENERIC_Manuv_RP_Switch_Pilot_1_Set)

In AAO you can assign the BVar to the Key Down and Key UP actions using the MAN setting, and then dial in the value 1/0 accordingly in the value box to the right.

Edit: this works just using the IE too, selected from the MSFS IE list in AAO. Values must be set to 1/0 as well.

Edit 2: same procedure with the IE "GENERIC_LEAR_STEER_ON_PILOT_1", also required 1 for down and 0 for up

Thanks, this is really helpful.  I got the on/off to work as you described with the 0 and 1 value.  It is also helpful to see the behaviors in developer mode.  I am still figuring out how to get it all to work as expected, but some of that is likely figuring out how to operate the plane properly or at least how it is modeled.  But you have put me on the right track to figuring it out.
