How do you toggle a generator???

[Guest Patrick_Waugh]

I can't seem to find a way to control the generators.Like if I wanted to switch GENERAL_ENGINE1_GENERATOR_SWITCH for example.Patrick

I only see a circuit, but no switch. So it would seem that FS doesn't really sim this, only the circut being on or off which seems to happen with the battery.Can one write to writable XML variables? Maybe that's the way to go.Patrick
