Landing Gear Help

[ahmed123]

So let me get this straight, if I buy this card, I can just solder on some switches and buttons? But is there a need to program them all?

[tankist80]

yes of course. otherwise how will the sim know what it supposed to do upon sensing the input.

Well, the Windows OS knows about the card, it sees it as a joystick. Inside the F/S application you must configure the individual switches to trigger some action, like raising or lowering the landing gear. It's more of what I would refer to as configuration, rather than programming. You don't actually have to write any code, or play with any software like SIOC. No other software program or driver is required, just F/S. If you currently use a USB joystick the new card is configured EXACTLY like you existing joystick, it just shows up in F/S as an additional controller.

In F/S when you go into SETTINGS you will see the Controls panel. In the Conrols panel you click on Assignments, then you select a function from the Assignment list and click on Change Assignment. At this point you press the desired button on your joystick or new controller card and F/S assigns this button to perform the function. That's all there is to it.
