SchneiH2 Posted November 20, 2015 Report Share Posted November 20, 2015 Hi everybodyI have some trouble with programming of a 3-position switch for the EFIS. As DataRef I use sim/cockpit2/radios/actuators/HSI_source_select_pilot. (NAV1 = 0, NAV2 = 1,GPS = 2). In Blender (2.76) I use for the switch 3 keyframes and a 'wrap'-manipulator.(with a 'button'-cursor) However, in XPlane10 the switch just works once and switches only between two positions 1 and 2. To position 0 it does not switch at all. After one switching cycle it stops to work.Would be great to get some help/advice. Best regards SHJ P.S. Does anybody know how to realize the functionality seen on the QPAC A320 V1.0/V1.1 (freware versions) for the OBS-setting for the ILS, i.e the ILS course is automatically been set when setting the NAV1 frequency. The point is that no additonal OBS-setting with any knob is necessary once the right ILS frequency is set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SchneiH2 Posted November 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2015 Hi JGregoryThank you for your reply. You can find information about the 'Wrapping'-manipulator here: http://wiki.x-plane.com/Manipulators Best regardsSHJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JGregory Posted November 21, 2015 Report Share Posted November 21, 2015 (edited) Hi JGregoryThank you for your reply. You can find information about the 'Wrapping'-manipulator here: http://wiki.x-plane.com/Manipulators Best regardsSHJI'm quite familiar with the manipulators. I think what you are describing is actually a type of "button" manipulator. Please post a screenshot of your Planemaker screen showing the manipulator properties and the keyframes.

SchneiH2 Posted November 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2015 Hi JGregorySorry for the unclear description of the problem. Attached you will find a screenshot showing the settings of frame 1. As already explained the switch has 3 positions with 3 keyframes.Best regardsSHJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JGregory Posted November 21, 2015 Report Share Posted November 21, 2015 SHJ, Are you having an issue with the animation in X-Plane, or with the Manipulator not setting the proper values? If it is the latter, are you using DataRef Editor to observe the daters values? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchneiH2 Posted November 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2015 Hi JGregoryThank you for your reply. Basically, I could solve the issue already taking into account your first reply (use of other manipulators). Indeed, it works with the 'drag-axis' manipulator. I was just a bit confused with the description in the XPlane-Wiki regarding the 'delta' and 'wrap' manipulaors as to my understanding they refer to a switch-functionality. However, I am fine with this solution.Again, many thanks for your replies and help. Best regardsSHJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
