That is the method to get ATC IFR clearance with MD-82.
Also works with Fenix.
But make sure choose the same SID and STAR with in Simbrief plan.

Are you using the Fenix SimBrief profile?

Yes, the one someone postet a link to somewhere here.

Okay then. I’m just using Auto for Passengers and Cargo and it works fine with random generated numbers.

How to get IFR clearance from internal ATC in MSFS with Fenix Airbus?

It seems as if setting it to Auto in Simbrief helped.
That worked, and since that also the custom pax number works.
All good now :slight_smile:

You need to download the FS2020 .PLN file from SimBrief. Then load the file onto the world map before you start your flight. The ATC will use your uploaded flight plan for clearance, and radio purposes.

Thank you so much! I can confirm that it works!
Now I can map the rest of the buttons :slight_smile:

Hi,
now I’m struggling to implement the 3-way switches, like the LDG LT (retract, on, off), or DOME LT (brt, dim, off). Is ist possible to implement them in X-Touch-Mini-FS2020? and with which syntax?

thanks!

Thank You, it works

Yes, it is. If you follow the KB article I posted a couple of days ago, you should be able to map pretty much everything to a joystick, HOTAS or MIDI device.

The landing lights are a little bit tricky, but I made it work mapping all three positions to a single switch on my TM Warthog: It has two button actions and I assigned ldg light retract and ldg light on to them (key down in AAO). The middle position (ldg light off) I assigned to the key-up action for both, ldg light on and ldg light retract—that’s it. :slight_smile:

This is something that maybe FsRealistic could implement in an update… are you using FsRealistic?

If your controller handles 3-way switches in the same as my Warthog Throttle, which i suspect it will, then the central position will be passive, in that it doesn’t have a switch number. The up and down positions will have switch numbers however.

I must say that I’ve yet to try this and I’m not at my sim PC so can’t tell you exactly, but given that switches in MSFS now have a pushed and a released state that can be mapped to commands, then maybe you could try using that.

For example, given your DOME light and that you have a 3-way physical switch on your controller that has it’s up position mappable say as switch 1 and its down position mappable say as switch 2. The central position won’t be mappable as a switch number, but that might not be the end of it.

For this hypothetical scenario, you might try mapping the press of switch 1 to DOME LT Bright and the release of switch 1 to DOME LT dim. You could then map the pressing of switch 2 to DOME LT off and in the second column for DOM LT dim you could map the release of switch 2. That way, whenever you move the switch to the centre position it should always select the DOME LT dim command.

You need to be careful with the release functions on switches however, as MSFS has a bug where it sets the function back to ‘pressed’ you will need to return to the mapping to ensure that it has correctly recorded the mapping as a switch ‘released’.

I’ll try this myself later on, as I have been making do with using the mouse for such functions, and I’ll report back, but i thought I’d share, just in case you wanted to give it a bash sooner. :slight_smile:

Edit: LOL, a case of took too long to type my reply and @TheMacallan1605 beat me too it. :stuck_out_tongue:

Is it flyable with mouse + keyboard and gamepad? I really want to try it out some how.

Thank you sir, and thank you for @TheMacallan1605

I saw and read the KB article from Fenix already, unfortunately I don’t have Axis and Ohs or Spad.next to assign these events, and it confused me even more :sweat_smile: So I’m using this X-Touch-Mini-FS2020 python tool (GitHub - maartentamboer/X-Touch-Mini-FS2020: Control FS2020 with a Behringer X-Touch Mini - which uses simconnect events and also Mobiflight events) and I’m not sure how to implement the functionality I want with this tool.

this Behringer midi controller have rotary encoders (which I use for hdg, alt etc) and also lots of buttons, and I was thinking I maybe can cycle through these switches (on-off-retract) when I press a button, but I guess it’s not that easy as I thought.

to be fair I don’t necessarily need LDG LT off, maybe only use LDG LT on and retract.
and for dome I can settle for dim and off. I’ll see.

You shouldn’t need anything else to make the changes I suggested, as that functionality is already built into MSFS.

As I said, I’ll check it out myself later today and will report back on my findings, with screenshots of my controls screen as appropriate.

alright now I got it what you mean, you mean the control settings in MSFS itself right?

what you described seems to be how the Mode Norm/crank/ign switch is mapped in my TCA throttle with those “on press” and “on release” settings :slight_smile:

Yes, so you should be able to use that as a template for the DOME and Landing Light controls

The learning curve on this is next level(at least for me). Finally in the air on the way to Miami from Nashville. Fingers crossed. I hope I did everything right.

Any workaround when init request is not working to import the flight plan to the MCDU? It shows up just fine on the tablet.
