FSLabs 320 VC dimming knob using rotorbrake codes

Post by TWIVEZY » 27 Dec 2017, 15:12

Probably this is not going to work and I have to replace my Potmeter axis by a rotary encoder. But I thought lets give it a try...

Rotorbrake codes for ECP upper display dimming are 77025 to increase and 77024 to decrease

Is there a clever way to use a potmeter axis to control this VC dimming switch?

I remember using FSUIPC, I could use a TQ axis to set flaps using rotorbrake codes by assigning ranges up and down to the TQ axis.

Thanks for any feedback

Should be possible using the Range-Custom Axis programming

I have tried but have not been very successful so far. I couldn't figure out how to assign different actions to the same range depending on wether the range was entered via an increase or a decrease. I will spend some more time on it soon.
