Spad next problem

Hello!

I am trying to bind the course selector knob to adjust the OBS course on the HSI. I have identified the LVAR that is associated with the course selector value (from 0 to 360). I have coded in the spad next this LVAR to ”increment 10” for every click clockwise (rotaty knob on the flightsimbuilder g1000 pfd) and ”decremenct 10” for every click counterclockwise. The rotary encoder is defined as a normal push button (one button fore clockwise and another for counterclockwise) in spad next. My probleb is that after doing this the obs value only flickers but remains unchanged. I have succesfully coded other variables in the same manner e.g light dimmers etc. What could be the problem? I fly with JustFlights PA28 (arrow 3).

Another very weird problem is as follows. On my ignition switch panel (desktop pilot) I have assigned the fuel pump on-off switch to operate the fuel pump via LVAR successfully. The weird thing is that every time I switch the fuel pump switch to on, it toggles the autopilot switch (on when it was off and off when it was on). I have looked everywhere and cannot find any binding to autopilot for this button! No such bindings in spad next (it does it even after diasbling the button in spad next). In MSFS control menu there is no binding to operate the autopilot for this switch either. It is like a ghost button that operates the ap even without any bindings. Any other button on the switch panel works just fine without this issue.

I’d recommend joining the Spad.Next Discord. There are lots of resources and smart people there. Link below to join.

That said, mapping things with Spad.Next (and Iother similar products) is often a lot of blood, sweat, and tears trying to figure out obscure mappings. I’ve spent many hours doing so with over thirty different planes (sorry, that doesn’t include the JF PA28).

Go into developer mode in the sim open behaviors. Hover over the switch you want to program, and hit ctrl-g on your keyboard. Then you can see the variables that are used for that function much easier than trying to track them down manually.
