Hello everyone. I am new the forum and a new user of FSUIPC. I am trying to build a fairly simple interface panel using a BU0836 interface board. What I want to do is use two rotary encoders to control multiple functions while using momentary button presses to select the function. The rotary encoders work fine and I was able to get this to partially work using the default FS control settings, but I think FSUIPC is the only way to get one encoder to control the whole number portion of the frequency and the other the decimal part.
I've shortened my case to using only 3 momentary buttons to save typing space.
Button 1 - Select Com1
Button 2 - Select Nav1
Button 3 - Select Autopilot Altitude
From what I have read, IF I were to use a rotary selector switch, then I would be able to simply use conditional assignments for each encoder. For example, if Encoder 1 turns clockwise AND selector switch is set to Com1, then increase whole frequency by 1. So how do I accomplish this using momentary buttons to select? Is the right approach to use flags? If I press Button 1, then its flag gets set high while the other two get set low. Then I use this flag in the conditional statements. This seems like it would work, but I thought I would ask the more experienced users if I am barking up the right or wrong tree.
Thanks, in advance for your help!!
