Killing the backlights BUT not the LEDs

[Weegie]

Is there an easy way to do this?

 

I've been trawling some threads but the usual way is to set the intensity to "0"

 

When that's implemented the LEDs don't turn on either

 

It's possible to turn them off with the GUI but I wondered if anybody could assist with a script that would kill the backlighting but still keep the LEDs available to be turned on & off like the GUI can

On the Warthog throttle or the MFDs? on the warthog LED0 is the back lights, you can turn that off then initialise the others separately.

The code snippet below is my initialisation, except I make sure the Backlight is turned on and the others are turned off, then I tie turning them on the switch positions.

 

ActKey(PULSE+KEYON+LED(&Throttle, LED_ONOFF, LED_CURRENT+LED0)); //set backlight on
ActKey(PULSE+KEYON+LED(&Throttle, LED_ONOFF, LED_CURRENT-LED1)); //set LED 1 OFF GEAR
ActKey(PULSE+KEYON+LED(&Throttle, LED_ONOFF, LED_CURRENT-LED2)); //set LED 2 OFF HOOK
ActKey(PULSE+KEYON+LED(&Throttle, LED_ONOFF, LED_CURRENT-LED3)); //set LED 3 OFF SPEEDBRAKE
ActKey(PULSE+KEYON+LED(&Throttle, LED_ONOFF, LED_CURRENT-LED4)); //set LED 4 OFF LIGHTS
ActKey(PULSE+KEYON+LED(&Throttle, LED_ONOFF, LED_CURRENT-LED5)); //set LED 5 OFF PROBE

 

Then I use a command like this to turn them on:

MapKey(&Throttle, BSF, CHAIN(DX10,LED(&Throttle,LED_ONOFF,LED_CURRENT+LED3))); //LED 3 SPEEDBRAKE

Thank you so much Shu77, that's super

 

That answers my question (I hope) I'll mess with it later today. Yeah it was the throttle backlight I was referring to as opposed to the MFDs (which I don't have.........YET)
