    Panel to switch's

    Hi all i'm after a bit of help (again)

    I'm wondering how i can set up rotary switch's, I'm using the Tin Mouse 737-200 and have started building the auto pilot panel, This is the problem, the panel on the aircraft use's 2 click zones to turn the A/P switch using the mouse - left and + right if i want to convert this into a real switch which has 4 zone's HDG, LOC ,AUTO APP, MANUAL G/S ( Left to Right) how would i do this? i've got a Reg FSUIPC and have got toggle switch down to a tee
    i've had a look through the forums and can't find anything.


    Thanks all

    Rob

    Only assign a function in FSUIPC when the switch closes. Do not assign a parameter when the switch is released.

    Use a four position rotary switch.

    Thanks michael, The bit i'm confused about is how to assign the possition of the switch if the panel only has a + and - mouse click spot to turn it left and right

    Forget about the on screen panel and look for the selections within FSUIPC you want to use with the switch. They're all there.

    If the Tin Mouse 737-200 will not recognise the commands then use the mouse capture function within FSUIPC.

    Most freeware with operate using the assignment feature, but there could be exceptions. The SP-50 in the DF727 will not recognise the AIL HOLD command, but the mouse capture function works it perfectly.
