CDU range knob events
-
Hi, I'm trying to map left side CDU range knob events to be used with my X-Touch-Mini. According to the manual (and also Starship_Interior.xml file) these are supposed to be: H:CDU_RangeKnob_Inc_1 and H:CDU_RangeKnob_Dec_1, but for some reason they do not work. I have no problems with other similar bindings (eg. RTU knobs). Is this any known issue or any special treatment for this knob is necessary?

Hi all, just following up on this question. I spent some time over the weekend trying different approaches but still haven’t been able to get these events to work. I’ve double-checked the manual, but H:CDU_RangeKnob_Inc_1 and H:CDU_RangeKnob_Dec_1 don’t seem to respond.
Has anyone run into this or found a workaround? Any suggestions or pointers would be hugely appreciated - thank you!

@piosto Hiya - yep that is exactly the correct Event to use. Am using it with SPAD on my Razor controller no problems. Here is an exact copy of the INC Event from SPAD:
<EventDefinition xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" Trigger="TUNER_CLOCKWISE" xmlns="http://www.fsgs.com/SPAD">
<EventActions>
<EventActionControl TargetDataDefinition="H:CDU_RangeKnob_Inc_1" />
</EventActions>
</EventDefinition>Sry if obvious, but this only controls the range on the Pilots ND when RDR selected on CDU. The range on the MFD is controlled using the buttons at bottom of screen.

@OrionNZ Thanks a million for your help!
Knowing that the events themselves were OK let me narrow down my search. It turned out that, for some mysterious reason, the first two lines of the events.txt file weren’t being loaded by my Mobiflight instance — and that’s exactly where I’d put the two definitions, of course.
After inserting two dummy lines at the front everything works perfectly now and I can fully enjoy this wonderful plane. Thanks again!
