Game controller Button mapping issue in A10-C: some switch's on/off is 1 action :(

[overpro]

As the attached image shows, some switches on/off state is combined as one action, for example: AC generator power left, AC generator power right, APU generator power, Battery power, Emergency flood ... ...

 

There is no separate action such as AC generator power left ON, AC generator power left OFF. So I'm unable to map the APU generator power on and off to 2 different button on my USB game controller. That's say if I use an On-Off toggle switch on my usb controller then I need to flip it on and off to make the APU generator power goes ON, and then flip it on and off again to make the APU generator power goes OFF.

 

If I make the Game controller to generate a same button push signal no matter I flip the toggle switch ON or Off, ( for example: flip to ON generates BUTTON9 press signal, flip to OFF also generates BUTTON9 press signal ) then I can make it works as expected, BUT...... if my toggle switch position is out of sync when simulator starts, then these toggle switches will be always in an inverted state compared to the simulator.

 

So I'd like to seek recommendations from you on how to resolve this issue. Thanks in advance.

You have 2 choices. The first is to install Helios and use it to program your toggles. I have heard that some folks are having some input lag issues using Helios. The second choice is to program your toggle directly in the device LUA files. I've started to do this with help from HMA. If you check pages 5 and 6 of this thread http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=96522&page=6 you can follow our discussion of how to do it.

Hope this helps.
