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.

Hello again. Thanks for the info. I'll use the rotary encoder canvas as you suggest, but it's knowing how to determine the correct variable for the visibilty part that I'm unsure of. I'm using an IE to trigger the change between FMS and MAN mode and I know about the 1 and 0 that causes the switch, but I'm unsure how to use AAO to find the variable that uses the 1 or 0. Perhaps I'm looking at it wrongly of course, I just don't know. I'll go and have a further tinker with it.

Hi Folks. I am trying to use a Rotary dial on my StreamDeck plus to operate the autopilot SPD mode control in the fs2020 default Longitude. I have the code to operate the change from FMS mode to MAN mode and it works with a simple left/right turn of the rotary dial. However, I would like to make use of the relevant FMS and MAN .jpg images from the X-Icon Pack Guenseli 1_6_60Klp set of images for the Citation Longitude. I downloaded the pack from the web. I have the /lorbyaxisandohs_elgato_plugin.pdf and have read the relevant sections concerning the two types of rotaries available in the plugin. I just don't have the knowledge to get the two images from Guenseli's pack to show as icons when I turn the rotary to select either the FMS or MAN setting in the autopilot mode panel. I get lost deciding how to use the images in the 'Icon definitions' and the 'Visibility variable' sections of the Rotary Encoder dial from the plugin. Can anyone give me some advise please? I would love to get the icons to show in the strip above the rotary dial. I just don't have the required knowledge yet. Thanks...Kenny.

Hello again. I've just updated to the latest version for MSFS 2020 i.e. 4.53 b19. I now find that the display for the MFD IE events has changed and I am at a loss to understand what it means for my SD+ buttons. The MFD ENTER button in my SD+ no longer opens the MFD in the default C172. The Heading Sync button does not work either. However, the Yoke Hider one does. I have most of my SD+ buttons set to use the IE Events. I'm not a technical person, but I can use the option to watch the simulator events and I see that it still shows as IE Events when I use the mouse to action the MFD Enter button in the sim. Once I open the MFD, I find that the softkeys no longer work either from my SD+. The PFD softkeys do not work either. I have no idea as to what has changed after the update. Can you give me any information on where I find IE Events for the MFD and PFD in the new AAO update? I realise that I may not have worded this very well, and will respond to any input from yourself. Thanks. Regards...Kenny

Ah, sure thing. I'm already doing that within my SD+. I feel that the editor gives me more of a visual look to it, and I can see the actions that are available in a more graphic way. I'll keep trying the editor, though. No need to reply. I know that you are always busy with other folks. Cheers.

Hello again. Ah, okay. Thanks for the input. I'll keep trying with the editor. I don't wish to pester you with this, but may I ask what difference the StreamDeck software version 6.0 makes. I'm not a techie, so may not fully understand what the update will do. I'll go and check and pdf docs for it. Many thanks.
