Starter/Ignition with HC Alpha (Axis & Ohhs)
-
I have a question for the "A&O" guys around here:
I set up the Magneto-Switch of the HC Alpha (Ver. 1 without the spring-loaded magneto switch. And I can't write scripts, I only use the A&O Interface)It works fine with the LVAR "L:BKSQ_IgnitionPosition_(1/2)" and 0-5 as the values for the switch positions.
BUT I have a problem with the ignition of the engine:- I bound both values "4" (starter/ignition itself) and "5" (visible switch position 'start' in the VC) to the START position of the Alpha Switch.
But it doesn't behave as a “continuous hold”. I hear a short single ignition sound and the prop turns a little bit.
And this is repeated over and over as long as I hold the Switch in the START-position. Like pushing a button repeatedly instead of holding it down.
-> When I use the mouse to turn the switch in the cockpit, you can hear that the starter is engaged continuously and the engine ignites normally
What is the secret here to get it work as wanted? :)
- I bound both values "4" (starter/ignition itself) and "5" (visible switch position 'start' in the VC) to the START position of the Alpha Switch.

You may consider to use a script and assign this to your button, ticking the "Repeat" and "Adaptive" boxes in your binding settings window. The script I wrote and bind to the switch(in my case a dedicated switch on the Bravo throttle) looks as follows (for the right engine):
4·(>IE:BKSQ_MagnetoController_R)You may also try to set the value 4 directly to the IE variable in your binding, but I prefer scripts.

@syff That works! I just chose the wrong LVAR for the binding. With the "MagnetoController" one it works instanly.
Thank you very much!I know, scripts can do "magic", but I have no clue how to write them (coding in general is all Greek to me) xD, so I'm happy to have the little GUI from A&O.
