This is a little odd.

For my cockpit I have bought a load of SPDT toggle switches, which I was intending to use as analogue multi-position switches with voltage dividers.

 

I didn't realise this was significant when I bought them, but the switches are on-off-on, and this confuses DCS-BIOS about what position corresponds to what control. The centre position is 'off', DCS-BIOS thinks that's the lowest position for the switch, so the outputs to the cockpit don't match the physical position of the toggle switch.

 

SPTT switches are pretty expensive, and I haven't yet been able to think of a way to modify the switches I have. So I want to read the resistances off my voltage divider manually and then command a switch position with DCS-BIOS (e.g. - 'set switch 1 to position 3'), but I can't see how to do that. All of the commands determine the switch position to command based on the hardware inputs. I want to determine the command myself and send it directly. Can I do that?
