    yoke switch

    I have recently tested all my switches and found that my push button switch in the yoke (used to pause) will only do so when held in, is there a way to make it so that when i push it it pauses and when i push it again it unpauses?

    i cannot account for FSX however in FS9 it should work fine pushing it once to pause and again to unpause however if this isn't working. And on the basis you have a registered copy of FSUIPC you can assign the switch to pause there. Just make sure the "control to be held while button pressed" (or something along those lines) is not ticked then it will act as a momentry switch hopefully giving you the button as you want it.

    Hope that may help a little.

    I'm just trying to figure out how to get my yoke which has a wooden shaft to go through my wooden panel smoothly. Does anyone have any suggestions on the matter

    Seal the wooden shaft with multiple coats of sanding sealer to close the grain. Sand the final coat lightly with 600 grit paper. You can use a length of PVC pipe attached to the back of the panel near the same diameter as the yoke shaft. You'll have to devise a way to attach it to the back of the panel.

    Maybe using 'L' angles strapped or JB Welded to the PVC and screwed to the back of the panel.

    Coat the yoke shaft with silicone grease (the white stuff). You'll have to figure out a way to work around the electronics, but there you go.

    the silver stuff is aluminum but I plan to tear that off. Would epoxy resin work?

    I would just get rid of that whole shaft and use a peice of black PVC pipe and a set of inside bearings to mount it in.

    sounds good but is there no way I could do it with wood? I meant use the resein to seal the shaft.
