An Actual Dragon

That sounds pretty neat, I'll run it. Edit: confirming setup is functional. Will consider binding similar to the other three covered switches I've got, where possible.

That is somewhat correct (or else I'm the one with the misunderstanding now) - the guard cover itself sends no signal, but it physically locks the switch below it in the down position. That switch is momentary, returns to centre, and only signals on up/down. Ideally, I would like the whole unit to behave as such: Switch down (i.e. physical cover down) sends [GMC Cover DOWN] and [GMC Switch OFF] at the same time, so that flipping the physical cover down returns the in-game master arm to off and safe. This I don't know how to do. Switch middle (i.e. physical cover up) sends [GMC Cover UP], so that flipping the physical cover up unsafes the in-game master arm. This I can do with BTN*_OFF, thanks to your advice. Switch up (i.e. momentary) sends [GMC Switch GMC], so that just flipping it up once arms weapons. This is trivial, I know how to do this. Failing that, anything to make the momentary-up toggle [GMC Switch ON/OFF] will do, because I already know how to bind the close-cover command.

Is there a way to use this to set a master arm toggle on the F-5 (GMC switch to GMC or OFF, don't care about training mode)? I've got a VPC control panel and would like to use the covered switch for that purpose, unfortunately the thing is 1/0/1 momentary and sends 1 (down) when the cover is closed, with the cover spring holding it in place. I know that hypothetically I could use the Virpil command configuration software to set 1 (up) as a software toggle, then add GMC<>OFF, but that means I have to cycle the master arm twice every time I start up and/or check my controls. Bit tedious, that. Another hypothetical solution would be to set 1 (up) to GMC and 1 (down) to both OFF and holding the cover closed, but I don't know if it's possible to double-bind like that with this utility.
