Mapping momentary buttons to WinCtrl PAP 3

Featured Replies

Hi,

I've been having some difficulty mapping in game buttons the the WinCtrl PAP3 autopilot panel. The dials and switches are not a problem but for some reason I can't get any of the buttons to work. They are big momentary push buttons (that come back out right away), here is a link if you are unfamiliar with the product: https://winctrl.com/view/goods-details.html?id=1065. I am in MSFS 2020 and I've been trying to map Flysimware Learjet 35 and the Contrail Falcon FA50 controls without any success. I've been reading the LVAR's from the sim and trying to map those. Also tried using IE Events but nothing happens. I tried assigning LVAR's to the button down and button up with values of 1 and 0, and I tried using just the button down with value 1. What am I doing wrong?

thanks.

Is the button not picked up by AAO or are you asking about the correct assignments? Those assignments are different for almost every aircraft, and must be figured out individually. Ideally by using the MSFS developer mode, Tools->Behaviors. Then click back into the sim, hover the mouse over the VC control that you are interested in and press Ctrl+G. Now analyze the Interaction components that handle the mouse events - replicate the code as required in AAO.

For the Learjet, MSFS IEs or their BVars should work fine. Just checked the HDG button, no problem there 1·(>B:AUTOPILOT_Heading_Mode_Toggle)
