Hi all, Hoping someone with a bit more knowledge of SPAD can help me out here. I’m trying to bind a few things to my HC Bravo and have got a bit stuck on the panel lights.
According to the event viewer, the panel Lights use simevent MSFS:LIGHT_POTENTIOMETER_3_SET and depending on how far the dial is rotated the brighter the lights. Now on the HC Bravo I don’t have a spare potentiometer to configure up so wanted to just bind to a switch so I could flip the switch and have the panel lights go to 80%.
I have the switch configured as a simple button through SPAD and set to send a simevent to change the parameter to 80 on press. All seems to behave well in that a press of the switch and I can see the simevent sent and the parameter change to 80, but it instantly changes back to 0 rather than staying set to 80.
I’m clearly going about this the wrong way, so wondered if anyone had any hints or tips on configurations I could try.
You’re better off using the LVARs rather than SimEvents. You’ll need to install the LVAR Bridge plugin into your community folder. You can find the install here - C:\Program Files\SPAD.neXt\GamePlugins - or wherever you installed it.
Once installed you can enable LVAR in Spad Next - Settings > Application Settings > Simulations
Then you can use LVAR variables, for the panel light I used CENTRE_LOWER_PANEL_LIGHT (LVAR) and set it to 8.
Should probably add that I think you need the beta or alpha version of Spad.Next for this to work, I don’t think it works with the current release channel.
How would you set panel lightings MFS:LIGHT_POTENTIOMETER FROM 4 TO 7. I’m doing this on x touch, there are also Defrost, Cabin Air, Temp Fwd Cabin Air. All part of 310R Milvitz.
just stickin my 2 cents in thats not even worth that much… I gave up on potentiometers. Most planes I try to setup seems to use a different assignment for the same function. Even the stock planes, whats worse is when I get one working the next SUx changes it. Sorry, just ventin my frustration. I wish u luck. Hopefully someone has found a solution.
It’s rather easy unless the aircraft is encrypted, then it’s trial and error. I just keep a collection of generic numbered pot increase-decrease scripts around and then assign whatever is needed for the aircraft.
