SimConnect control not working for various switches.

[ZenIT_SWE]

@Elay As long as you sync the hardware switch positions with those in the sim it works fine. I have the Honeycomb Bravo and have mapped all the switches (bat, alt, pump, lights, pitot heat) to the switches on the Bravo.

I do however hope they will adress this issue and make it possible to use the correct simvars.

Does work...,

@ZenIT_SWE How do you sync them...I assume you don't mean manually clicking in cockpit so they match the hardware or vice versa, how do u get it to read in the switch positions?

[ZenIT_SWE]

@sluflyer06 That's exactly how I mean 🙂
You can probably do it better, but I recon it won't take long until they fix this so the toggling is a temporary solution.

[daparkerSD]

It is not only Simconnect. Using the default bindings for the Alpha Yoke, without simconnect, none of the battery, alternator, light switches work.

[sluflyer06]

@ZenIT_SWE

another helpful person on discord pointed me towards using LVAR's to bind all these switches and they all work perfectly now with discrete on and off commands setting the variables.

[ZenIT_SWE]

@sluflyer06 nice!

[ZenIT_SWE]

@sluflyer06 Would you mind sharing how you did? I've been trying to make it work but without any luck.

Hello,

I operate both the Honeycomb alpha and beta consoles. The connection with the Arrow is not working properly and see that I am not the only one. Is Justflight aware of this problem are you working on a solution?

[paalder]

beta means Bravo by the way.
