Ah, operator error I'm sorry to say. No, I was not actively connected to the sim!! When I started FS2020, the 'grey line' suddenly disappeared. I also unchecked the 'Show Title' option to remove the 'Rotary Encoder' text line. My apologies once again, but I've been away for a while due to personal circumstances, and I've forgotten some stuff. Thank you so much. All good now. No grey progress bar.👍✌

Oh dear. My apologies to you. I've downloaded and installed the new version after quitting the Stream Deck app. The rotary Encoder now shows 73.02 when I right click it, so that's fine. However, when I drag the Rotary Encoder action across to my Stream Deck app it still shows the 'grey line'. I must be doing something wrong, but I don't know what. Can you help me out a bit please? I see the text 'Rotary Encoder', the 'double headed green arrow in the icon space and also the grey 'progress bar'...Dohhh

Ah, okay. Thanks. As you know, I'm not too techy and a bit of a slow thinker out of the box. Thanks for the advice. Regards...

Ah, when I right click on the Rotary Encoder option it says 'AxisAndOhs Integration 60.02'. Is that what you are meaning. I've had it for a long time now. I've just noticed a download on Flightsim.to version 72.01. Should I update to this version?

Hi Folks. I've noticed a grey line, possibly the Bar variable progress bar, is showing in the icon display of the Lorby-SI Rotary Encoder dial in my Elgato SD+ unit. I do not require a progress bar or 'grey line' showing in the display bar. I see in the 'Stream Deck Plugin' documentation that 'All variables are optional' and if I don't supply a variable the corresponding element will not be shown. I do not have an entry in the 'Bar Variable' text box of the Rotary Encoder, but the progress bar is showing. Does anyone have any knowledge of how to remove the grey line/progress bar? Regards...Kenny

No need to say sorry. I'm thrilled that it's working for me. I love it. Kenny.

Hi There. I've just remembered that you were going to take a look at why the Editor was not allowing me to drag and drop actions. I've downloaded version V1.14b01 and it works perfectly for me. This means that I can load in profiles designed for the larger StreamDecks and drag actions down onto my SD+ profiles. Many thanks and at the risk of embarrassing you, I'm in awe of what you do and the constant help and assistance you provide us simmers. Best Regards...Kenny.

Hello again Lorby. Many thanks for the info. This is similar to one of your other replies to me some time ago. I did not realise/had forgotten, that the "S" was for Scripts, but it's obvious now!! I'll get on it again tomorrow and report back. In AAO the Script title is "battery", and the Script group is "H145" I can now see that when I use a Script from the left side of the "Manage Script Groups" section, I'll have to enter that information into the relevant box. Many Thanks...Kenny.

Hello again folks. As an intermittent user of A&O and an SD+ due to ongoing family medical issues, I sometimes struggle with, to me, complicated lines of code. I'm looking at this code... (L:H145_SDK_OH_BATTERY_MASTER, number) 0 == if{ (>H:H145_SDK_OH_BAT_MASTER_ENGAGE, number) } els{ (L:H145_SDK_OH_BATTERY_MASTER, number) 1 == if{ (>H:H145_SDK_OH_BAT_MASTER_OFF, number) } els{ (>H:H145_SDK_OH_BAT_MASTER_ON, number) } I'm wondering what I need to do to get it to work in my SD+. I've tried pasting it into a button with various actions, but I can't get it to operate the battery switch. This code is taken from a profile I downloaded for the HYPE 145 helicopter. I would appreciate any help in understanding what I need to do. I've looked at the mappings in the 145 user docs, but this code seems to do the required three actions in one snippet. Thanks...Kenny.

Thanks for the heads up. At my level of knowledge, it's like a new language to learn. Could you recommend a beginners document for RPN? I've looked at a lot of the SDK stuff on the web, but I got led down an xml side road. In fact, a lot of it makes use of xml, and I don't really have the time to learn to that level. That's why I love AAO and my SD+ and X touch mini. It's so straightforward. Aside from getting stuck with a new problem of course!! 🙄 Regards...Kenny. p.s. here's an afterthought. In AAO, I have a script for the longitude. When I open it in AAO, I see lots of subscripts. When I click on one it opens in the main pane with, what to me at present, seems like a complex line of RPN script code. Do I simply copy it and right click it into the textbox? Like the example you give above, including the quotation marks and brackets. I've shied away from that script because I don't fully understand what I'm supposed to do with the RPN line of code

Hello again. I'm just running through the various bits of information in the Devel Mode Behaviours. Boy, there's a lot to learn and understand, but I can begin to see how things are worded and the reactions when I press things in the aircraft. Thanks for taking the time to research this for me, I appreciate it. I've downloaded the profile and I'll go and get the icons you mentioned. May I ask how I set the value's of 2 and 1 that you mention here? I'm confused as to whether I enter a 'space' or a ':' after the word '_Set'. I'm happy enough getting IE code from the Scripts Editor and simply enering a 1 or a 0 in the Event Value box, but entering a value at the end of a line is new to me and the Long press down and up doesn't have input boxes. I'll use the codes from your new reply obviously, but I wondered about setting the values at the end of a line. Cheers...Kenny Haaa,Haaa. That works, as you know of course!!! Thank you so much. I've just got to figure out how it works...lol. I really am in awe of what you do.😃

Hello again. I've spent a bit of time trying to figure this one out, but to no avail. I'm trying to have a single StreamDeck + button operate a three position switch that has a held position for a TEST purpose which illuminates a green light. This is in the Cessna Longitude in FS2020. The aircraft checklist states that the switch should be held in the down TEST position for a minimum of ten seconds. Here is what I've found in the devel mode Behaviours>Bindings... Behaviours Bindings ELECTRICAL_Battery_STBY-3-Inc ELECTRICAL_Battery_STBY-3-Dec ELECTRICAL_Battery_STBY-3-Set I have also installed a script from the web into my streamdeck for the Longitude and it gives me this... ELEC StbyPwr TOGGLE (L:XMLVAR_BatterySTBY_SwitchState,·Bool)·0·== if{·1·(>B:ELECTRICAL_Battery_STBY_3_Set)·} els{·0·(>B:ELECTRICAL_Battery_STBY_3_Set)·} Once again my lack of knowledge limits me in that I don't know how to make this work with a single button in my streamdeck. I've tried various options, but I can't get the switch to hold down for ten seconds. I don't know how to make use of the script. I've tried assigning it to a keyboard button as per the LorbyAxisAndOhs_MSFS_Document section 5 Scripting, but I can't get the switch to hold for ten seconds in the TEST position. Here are the three positions... Centre (OFF) 1, Down (TEST) 2, Up (ON) 0 Do you have any ideas on how to get a single streamdeck button to make this work? I'm at a loss, but keen to learn another lesson!! Regards...Kenny.

Hello again, and many thanks for your detailed explanation. It's those details that I am unsure of. I must also offer my apologies to you, because I remember you pointing me to the devel mode way of finding out things a while back. I forgot about using it. I don't often get a chance to do this, as I have to care for my wife more and more these days. I do enjoy working with my SD+ and Xtouch mini with AAO and fs2020. It keeps my mind active, even though I don't get much time to actually fly the aircraft...LOL. I'll try to do more detective work before asking questions of you, but sometimes I get lost between all the variables!! Best Regards...Kenny.

Hello again Folks. Can anyone help me out with this question please? I am trying to display the appropriate blank button and starter engaged hatched icon from the Citation Longitude icon pack by Guenseli. The blank button is the icon for the starter when it is disengaged and the hatched square icon is used when it is engaged. I'm using a MultiGauge from Lorbys plugin for my SD+unit and I'm using an A variable in the Visibilty section with this code line GENERAL ENG STARTER:index, Bool I'm not very familiar with this, so do I need to amend this in some way for the sim to recognise it? I have three image definitions, two for the blank button and one for the hatched square when the starter is engaged. I'm using a 0 for the Visibilty Value of the blank button and a 1 for the Visibilty Value of the hatched square. I'm using this K SET_STARTER1_HELD for the Key Event with 1 and 0 for the down and up actions. The starter is working in the sim when I press my SD+ button, but the icons are not displaying in my SD+ button. That's why I'm thinking I need to amend my A variable, but I don't know what change to make to the code line. Thanks...Kenny.

That did it. Wow, thanks so much for helping out, I really do appreciate it. I'm starting to understand the relationships between the actions and the various variables in fs2020. As you know from my previous posts, I'm far from being a techy, but I'm getting there slowly. I enjoy making things happen in the sim by using my SD+ and X touch mini. Your AAO programme is the driver of it all. Best Regards...Kenny.
