In AAO, when you assign an event to an axis, the dialog becomes bigger and displays the control for "Trigger Mode". You can select if the event shall be triggered when pushing the slider up, down or in both directions. If you need it to do different things on up and down, just create another axis assignment with the opposite trigger direction.

If that isn't flexible enough, use scripts. Set Axis Min and Axis Max as required (for example 0 and 3 if your slider is used to handle 4 positions), Rounding  "Int", and make the script do different things for the different values.

Thank you very much for looking into this Sir. In fact , the products documentation is so good that I should not bee asking this questions. But I have not managed to obtain the results I want. I have tried, just as you remind me , the "Trigger Direction" and else. With native Sim Events and with self made scripts.

For an example, I have a slider that I want to assign the "push button" task of "Elevator Trim Up" on one end and Down on the other end. I get the correct output in the plane but have not been able to stop it from moving. It goes either up or down continiously ( wich does not happen if you use a button or even a key on the keyboard ) . The sim has an "Elevator trim axis" but that does not work either , interfering when in Autopilot ...

There is something that I do not yet understand and is preventing success. 

Maybe you can elaboate on this particular example for me . Thank you again.

Thank you Sir. That and the autogenerated sript variable will do the trick.

Endless possibilities. Somehow I did not understood this after reading ( many times ) the official documentation and the "AAO fur Einsteiger" document . 

I havent dealt with axis before , only in script developement.

I am using an Futaba 9c Heli transmitter to implement this interface, ( 8 proportional axis into Windows )

I am repeating here  ; AAO is a Very powerfull tool.

Greetings.

Thank you
