Winwing Orion 2 A/A A/G LED Sync question

[Synth]

Hi,

How do I set up A/A, A/G buttons LED to sync with DCS? If I understand correctly it should work this way once I turned on "sync with DCS" - it's done (pic1) and the backlight now is synced whenever I control the Primey Console Brightness Knob.

However AA, AG buttons are not light up when I enter AA or AG mode respectively - I can only turn their LEDs separately in the app settings (Pic2)

What plane?  And are you leaving SimAppPro running in the background while you're flying (you need to for lights to sync)?

And if you're using Tacview and SRS as well, make sure your export.lua is set up in this order:

D:\Users\xxxx\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Scripts\Export.lua

TacView

WinWing

SRS

F-16. The app is running on the background. Like I said the overall sync works OK (turning Consoles Brightness Knob affects the Throttle backlight), A/A and A/G buttons' LED are not synced when I enter the appropriate mode by pressing these buttons.

Regarding .lua I think it's ok too, here is a pic (using Steam DCS version)

Hi try this go to your export.lua. back up then rebuild start with the winwing line only and see if the AA work to begin with then add lines from their if it worked with just winwing and then as you add line it messes up change the order of the lines. This is mine and winwing will not work if I put it first in my case.

Good luck

All I have there is WingWing line and Tacview. Tried to set WW in the end of the list it but it still does not sync AA AG lights  Probably will contact WW support later, thanks for the help!

Those controls are not really related to SimAppPro.  Windows sees them as buttons on a device, so they'll work properly even without SimAppPro installed, let alone running.  You only need SimAppPro running for syncing lights and or running any UFC or ICP info.  Somewhere your SimAppPro isn't communicating with DCS.  Might be an antivirus or firewall blocking the communication.

Does the F-16 have any A-A and A-G button light up respectively? I don‘t think it does. 
So I think those buttons on the throttle base will only work appropriately with the Hornet.
