    @escriba see below

    note 1: as usual disregard the JOY condition (it's a particular check I do due the use of multiple functions to the same hardware switch)

    note 2: I posted screenshots for left engine only, for right engine use GENERAL ENG STARTER:2 and TURB ENG IGNITION SWITCH EX1:2 instead

    Using this I can get the switch to move but it does not turn on everything. If I pull the breaker and push it back in it turns on. What am I missing.

    I also found the same thing on AVSIM Forum from December

    Trying to get the avionics master switch to work for the Black Square king air with my Alpha, using Spad.next . I can get the switch to move up and down by updating "VAR_AVIONICSMASTERSWITCH", but the avionics don't actually power on. Strangely, if I pull the avionics breaker, and push it back in, they come on. Is there some variable or event I'm missing here?

    After doing the breaker trick if I turn bat, alt and avionics off then all I have to do is turn on the battery on and the GOS (530) comes on.
    So is this an issue in the AnalogKinAir.xml file??

      @meh1951 the LVAR VAR_AVIONICSMASTERSWITCH alone does not do the trick for the Avionics, you must add the other commands (ELECTRICAL_BUS_TO_BUS_CONNECTION_TOGGLE & ELECTRICAL_CIRCUIT_TOGGLE) as indicated in my previous post in this thread dated back Mar 15th.

          @meh1951 yes, you must execute in the same sequence as indicated. This sequence you can verify by looking into the events page when you switch avionics on using the mouse.

              @meh1951 notice there are two conditions that must be observed for Avionics switch ON. You are covering just the first one for SWITCH_ENGINE == 0, maybe you need to add the second condition (SWITCH_ENGINE =! 0) and the respective actions to be executed (in this case you don't execute the ELECTRICAL_CIRCUIT_TOGGLE event(131)). Please refer to my previous post on this thread for details.

                Does not change the fact that GPS (530) does not turn on when I turn avionics switch on and Starter won't kick in unless I turn OFF the Avionics Switch.

                  @meh1951 do you have the latest version of GNS530 installed (Working Title)+ latest version of GTN750 (2.1.84) installed (including the patch version 1.1.4 and the King Air mod version 1.0.8)?

                  Try and publish a short video to illustrate the issue, it may help understand if there's something else missing.

                        @anderson said in KA350i Avionics switch:

                        mod version 1.0.8)?

                        I have KA350 0.1.3 which I think is the latest.

                          @anderson I am new to SPAD.next and I'm curious where did the [SWITCH_ENGINE (Device)] come from. I can't find that in my SPAD.

                          @meh195, knowing this is an older topic, were ever able to find this: [SWITCH_ENGINE (Device)] in spad? I am trying to get the avionics switch assigned to my Honeycomb Alpha and not having success so far.
