Happy Saturday everyone,

I'm setting up my almost complete throttle controller and I need some help with editing the lua file(s). I use the Leo Bodnar BU0836X, and so far I haven't had to install any additional software, and if possible I would like to keep it this way.

The on-off-on switch I have for flaps works perfect for the hornet, I edited the lua file so that moving the switch to the middle off position sets the flaps to the flaps half position. Now on the FC3 planes we don't have a specific setting to set flaps to half (some FC3 planes have 3 position flaps, up/half/full), so I changed the lua to...
{down = iCommandPlaneFlapsOn,    up = iCommandPlaneFlapsOff,            name = _('Flaps Down Toggle'),        category = _('Systems')},
{down = iCommandPlaneFlapsOff,    up = iCommandPlaneFlapsOn,            name = _('Flaps Up Toggle'),        category = _('Systems')},

This works, but can get out of sync, to get it back into sync I just need to cycle the switch through all 3 of its positions.

So here are my questions...

1. is it possible to have 1 command do 2 or more actions (1 button/switch does 2 actions)? For example, if I were to set the 'flaps up' part of the switch to do 'flaps up' and then again 'flaps up', this way if the switch is out of sync, and I move it to 'flaps up' position it will go to flaps all the way up. Same would apply for flaps down.

2. On the on/off switch (single pole switch) that I use for landing gear, is it possible to bind it to do the landing gear and also act as a modifier? I want to use the analog TDC thumbstick up-down axis for analog wheel braking, I know it wont be Ideal but better than an on/off button. So whenever the gear is down, the TDC Thumbstick up-down will be wheel brakes both, axis tuning definitely required.

3. If #2  is possible, could I assign 1 axis to to 2 different commands? I would like to use the TDC's left-right for left and right wheel braking, for left wheel braking I would tune the axis to do nothing when TDC moves right, and the opposite for right wheel braking.

Thanks for reading and, I hope you can figure out what I'm trying to say here.
