Custom Axis configuration and Rotorbrakes again

Post by TWIVEZY » 24 Jan 2020, 15:37

Hi all,

Does anybody know if, when using the Range definition in Custom Axis Configuration, I can assign a different rotorbrake code depending on whether I move the Axis clockwise or counterclockwise through a set Range. I'm trying to control the brightness of a VC display that I can only control with 2 rotorbrake codes; one to increase and one to decrease the brightness. The actual control is a rotary knob. I recall that in FSUIPC I was able to differentiate between going up or down a set range. It wasn't pretty, but I managed to simulate turning the brightness knob this way.

Thanks!

Can you set one to increase and the other to decrease at the same time?

turning clockwise
So that you have one going say "A" = 0 to 255 while the other is "B" going 255 to 0

turning counterclockwise
"A" = 255 to 0 and "B" = 0 to 255

Two events on one knob.

Hi David,

Thanks, I have successfully done this with FSUIPC. I was wondering if this method works with SPADNEXT as well...using the Custom Axis configuration feature..will it differentiate between moving through a range clockwise and anti clockwise?
