Saab 340 Gust locks

[madair]

Perhaps its me but I can't get the gust locks to operate. No big deal but I would like to fix if I can?

Any ideas please?

You need to set up a key for the gustlock command (it opens the detent and allows the handle to be moved).

Then push (and hold) the key and move the handle using your mouse (you can't click and hold the detent and move the levers at the same time with your mouse, can you?).

I have searched through the list of functions including "adavanced" and can see no function for gust locks? hence I am unable to set a key/button for this function.Could you expand please?

you have to assign a key or joystick button to the "gustlock release", then once you keep holding that key/button you grab the gustlock lever with the mouse.

 

gustlock release feature is not part of xplane, it comes with the saab 340, external assignment section

 

look here for your reference:

Thanks.

I have researched this and found a page in Specials for X plane 10.31 but it does not compare with the example shown. Could you comment further please.

While in sim:

Go to your Joystick and Equipment menu.

Go to the Keys tab

Scroll all the way to the bottom of all the key commands.

Click "Ädd New Key Assignment" at the bottom centre of the screen

Choose a key or key combination (example: Shift V) on the keyboard to assign to the gust lock

At the top of the screen, click the box to the left of sim/none/none

You should get a folder tree showing a few different folders.

Click on LES then CMD

Scroll down until you see "gust lock release"

Click "Open"

Close the Joystick and Equipment menu

Gust lock will now work with your key or key combination.
