Can't quite work this bit out :(

Hi All

I am getting to grips with how switches and levers work in the home cockpit...and realised early on that an On/Off switch can be wired up to, say..a PoKeys unit via USB..and then configuring in your pc's game controller settings, and flightsim controls...but..I'm a bit stuck on something.

Say, for instance you want to assign the Beacon light to a switch...I can figure that out...but what about something like the Hdg Select button on the autopilot panel of a 737?

Unless I'm mistaken, you cannot assign that to a keyboard key in FSX?....so, how can you assign it to a switch or rather a pushbutton

I hope this question makes sense?...lol

thanks for any help

Just make a mouse macro or LVar assignment in FSUIPC.

Oh... so that's how you do it!?

Many Thanks Avro748

Yep, trust me, you'll join the Pete Dowson worshipers too once you realize how much his program can do.

Yes, I mean I've used it (you need to with many of the addons)..but never sussed that's how you do it.
I'll have to have a good read up in the 'advanced' section though

Yep, that's where you'll find it. Thought it's actually a lot easier than you think, so I wouldn't really worry too much.

Found a video on youtube, which explained it well..and now done my first :)
