I was wondering how to do the two events needed to switch on the light and then increase it. I’ll take a look at Air Manager. Can Flight Tracker do the two event sequence?
I mean, airmanager uses simconnect afaik…
Shouldn’t be any different than any other event or set (like heading).
Whether or not simconnect recognizes the event is the only question
Haha what a miss. I’ll add it in next version (probably this weekend).
Yes it can. Use the native multi hotkey function and then embed the two Flight Tracker commands into that multi-command.
That works. Thanks.
Wow. I didn’t know you could do that. Thanks for the heads up.
Yeah, that is great. I just tested it by putting landing lights and taxi lights on one button. I am hoping I can put the C172 panel lights all on one button. I hate when I take off and realize I did not turn on the panel lights. By the time I get my panel in view and turn all four knobs with the mouse I am usually off course in an unusual attitude.
That’s why they have check lists. So you don’t forget.
Released in version 0.28.
Is working fine thanks!
That’s some great work there, thanks for sharing. I’m using these to create a profile for King Air 350 and so far everything seems to be going fine with the exception of a couple of actions that aren’t triggered via Simconnect but are internal MSFS events (at least according to spad.next). I’ll share when it’s done, which should be any day now.
However I should note that many of the disabled versions of these v2 ICONs are a bit too dark for my taste, as you can hardly read the text even with low light conditions. It must be a lot harder during daylight. For example “BEACON OFF” is nearly impossible to read unless you set Stream Deck to max brightness.
Can you post a picture of what you mean. I am running my own SD profile and I don’t know what the v2 icons are?
These: Stream Deck Button Box (My C172 Implementation) - #195 by XAxSys
I began creating a custom profile last night and I even did some editing to a few PDN templates via paint.net. I think the text layers have been saved as images, so they’re not really editable which is a pity so I’m trying to figure out the font used to create a couple of new icons for personal use.
(edit: I think it’s Arial Std Black, found a free version so I’ll do some editing)
As for a picture, I think this will suffice:
Some are a bit too dark to read. Other than that, this is hands down and by far the best effort I’ve seen for Flight Tracker icons and I’ve seen a lot lately (others don’t care to create on/off versions or they use small unreadable fonts or they don’t share PSD/PDN templates or they use elaborate images within a 72x72px icon which doesn’t really help when you’re descending and searching for the button to press).
I discovered another great use for the Stream Deck: Flight Simulator Pause Toggle Switch
Flight Simulator has a Pause function, but it takes two keys, one for Pause on, one for Pause off. No Toggle is provided. Pause is not set up by default so you have to assign the hotkeys yourself. This is different from the Pause key which does not actually pause the simulator. Here is how you can get a Pause toggle switch using Stream Deck’s Hotkey Switch.
@Zeppos I will Zip up all my PDNs tonight and upload to Google drive for you to download. I’ll post a message here when it is done. Theere should be layers galore in many of these as I clumsily experimented with what worked and what did not.
OK I seem to have lost my cleaned up PDN Files so I have zipped up My original uncurated files the link to download is:
Ay idea how to start batteries for the A32O with the plugin?
Generally, does someone succeded in using StreamDeck/Flight Tracker with the A320? …Seems complicated…
HI all,
Got my stream deck today. Looking to set it up to toggle the instruments on and off the HUD when you are in the chase cam?
thanks
Josh
Not 100٪ sure, but I don’t think there is a hotkey for this in the sim (I’m not near my pc to check). AFAIK, you have to turn them on and off from the settings menu within the sim itself?
Hi, it’s not very “academic” (a trick with CSS) but you can use this mod and assign a keyboard key to show/hide the HUD. This also works for Nameplates, Waypoints, POI and Tooltips.
