Hayrake YE-ZB Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 Hi there, Is there a guide or video that shows how to set up the light feedback on the PTO2 controller? It works beautifully out of the box with the F18, but I’m trying to get the master caution light, and the landing gear position lights, and the gear and hook transition lights to work with other aircraft. I’ve read the SimappPro guide, and don’t quite see where to start. Any help would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANDR0ID Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 Is this a capability? I thought the only option was to sync with DCS, which really means the F-18. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MustangSally Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 Currently The F-18 is the only aircraft to have the capability Ryzen 9 7950X3D - MSI MAG X670E TomaHawk MB, ASUS ROG Ryujin III 360 AIO 64gig Corsair DDR5@6000, Gigabyte GeForce RTX 4090 AORUS Winwing Super Taurus, Orion2, TO / Combat panels, Collective with Topgun MIP Winwing Skywalker pedals, NLR Boeing Mil Edition Simpit, Trackir Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hayrake YE-ZB Posted March 17 Author Share Posted March 17 I see, well that would explain why I can’t find the information. For some reason, I thought that separate profiles could be built to hook into different aircraft. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wostg Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Suggest raising a ticket, they're usually very responsive and willing to take a feature request, at least Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prestonflying Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 (edited) This is a current ability of SimApp Pro using the provided `C:\Program Files (x86)\SimAppPro\resources\app.asar.unpacked\dcs_event_bind_config.js` file, you can define your own aircraft profiles (In a json dictonary, but there is an example of the F18 and other planes that work), Attached are images of a JF-17 using custom lights and the F18 profile. You can extend this to work with any plane and any light value You will need to look in the game files of the module to determine the value for `dcs_id` as this is the argument number for the module. Example, dcs_id 376 controls the APU light in the hornet. You can find these values in "<DCS_INSTALL>/Mods/aircraft/FA-18C/Cockpit/Scripts/MainPanel/lamps.lua" Other modules will have similar files to get the light values needed for the `dcs_event_bind_config.js`nullnull Edited March 19 by prestonflying 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANDR0ID Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 @prestonflying does it again! An interesting project to tackle when I get time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ANDR0ID Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 (edited) I had a chance to test this a bit... adding additional aircraft shouldn't be too difficult, but for those using the universal UFC mod the PTO, etc. functions will sadly be disabled (or not work correctly) as the universal UFC project currently mimics the F18, and thus all the PTO lights follow the F18 logic too. I was really hoping we could have our cake and eat it too, but no so at the moment. Perhaps in the future with some more investigation.
