Keystroke for Air and GPU?

[Need-To-Know]

Hey guys, before I spend too much time trying to track down a Dat or something I was wondering if anyone else has ever tried creating a keystroke for connecting the GPU and air...and cargo doors for good measure?

Is it even possible? Anyone have the Dataref or method I can add it w/ maybe .. it has been a while since I tried this if you can't tell already.

I want to create a keystroke so I can map it to my voice software.

Thanks fellow Captains

As far as I know there aren't any datarefs or commands for the ground services.

Maybe it's something IXEG could consider to add in a future update.

Jean is correct, there are no datarefs for that.

I will add it to the list of requests - maybe those can be added in a future update!

Cheers, Jan

Thanks guys, saves me the time of looking.

Thanks Jan! It would be nice to use voice comms to have the ramp guys connect/disco. I have recently purchased the MCE plugin and enjoying the wonderful world of voice communications with Radar Contact and a second officer in the IXEG (the only plane I fly).

Has anything changed in this topic after v1.33 update ???

Nope.

;-) well. 

Is there a chance to solve this problem on your own with the help of dataref and lua script ???
I use VR and would prefer to do this without taking my VR helmet off  ;-)

I managed to get the external power animation to appear (or disappear) and the "GRD POWER AVAILABLE" light in the cockpit to appear, but the switch (PWR ON/OFF) does not activate the power :-(

Hmm, I am not an expert on how those variables work, but it seems strange to me that the blue GRD PWR AVAIL" lights up but the switch doesn´t work...

I agree that it would be nice to be able to access this - and other options - in VR as well.

The workaround I would suggest for now is to simply use the APU. There are no noise restrictions while flying in X-Plane and it can do everything that a GPU and ground air can do as well.

I have placed the request for a programmable button/key into our list of enhancements again - it will probably be a quick addition, but I can not say when the next update will be available .

Cheers, Jan

The switch works, but does not connect the power   ;-)
There has to be some other variable (which I can't locate) that provides the current.
Thank you very much for your help and I am counting on an update taking this into account.
Have a nice day  ;-)
