I need ideas for Magneto & Fuel switches please.
Hi.
I've been building my generic cockpit over the past 5 days and it's coming along ok so far. I'm running Hangstrom USB108 and have just bought FSUIPC (yet to look at it in detail). I can wire up the toggle and push button switches ok.
I'd like to install 2 x magneto switches and 2 fuel selectors. Anybody got any pics or ideas on how this can be done?
One a seperate issue, I can't seem to locate the commands for things like NAV LIGHTS or Right Alternator to assign them in the Hangstrom interface. I've wired up the switches just like in a light twin prop and would like to assign all switches so that I can flick off either alternator as required.
Cheers,
Nick
I noticed something else with rotaries.
Thanks for the info. I took one apart today and also found a good article at Simkits (magneto kit) which helped with the setting up.
I noticed that if you remove the 2 ball bearings which are responsible for the positive clicking at each step, you could then make a "silent" switch for large fuel selectors for example where you may want to skip a couple steps (to give a greater angle between positions) without having to click past these unused steps. I hope that makes sense. Sounds possible.
Cheers.
