jenx Posted September 16, 2009 Posted September 16, 2009 I have started to build my cockpit in stages. I have gone with leo bodners BU0836 card. The question I have is if i use svmapper to program my switch to key command how do you go about activating something if it has a cover on the switch in game. EG the landing gear emergency hydraulics selector the actual switch command is LALT G but to lift or lower the switch cover is LCTRL G. If i move my actual cockpit switch and use svmapper to simulate LALT G will that work or do i have to do something to lift the cover first?

-Bazong- Posted September 16, 2009 Posted September 16, 2009 Maybe you could send both commands from SVmapper? So that when you flip the switch it sends: Lctrl-G then Lalt-G
JG14_Smil Posted September 16, 2009 Posted September 16, 2009 (edited) if you hit LALT G it will open the switch cover and work the switch in one shot. You would have to send LALT G, LCTRL G to turn the siwtch off and close the cover (if you are not using an actual switch in your cover). Edited September 17, 2009 by JG14_Smil friggin' dyslexia
talisman Posted September 18, 2009 Posted September 18, 2009 Thats not entirly accurate. if you have a switch with a cover you would expect to use LALT G to operate the switch, but this is not always the case. I find that using svmapper to operate switches i have to use the switch press twice. first LALT G opens the cover - second LALT G operates the switch. After that the switch operates and the cover will not ever change from open. I havent experemented yet with useing two commands for the switch cover state. (ill give it a try tomorrow and report back perhaps) I am currently running 3 of leos boards with latched toggles and normal push buttons. Because of the above limitations - i only use latched toggles with switches that dont have covers in the sim. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No - Its a Stinger - Damn.......

JG14_Smil Posted September 19, 2009 Posted September 19, 2009 I see what you mean, sorry for the mixup. It should be very easy to send a macro with the mapper to do both. How will you do a manual startup if you don't map for switches with covers? best of luck...
