Goflight GF-RP48 module and PM MCP setting V/S Hold button

[Randy Holmes]

I am trying to assign the V/S Hold button to a push button on the GF-RP48 module.

I have been able to get F/D, A/T, Hdg SEL to work, however the V/S Hold does not work.

Any suggestions?

Also, do you have any plans in the future to allow the LED lights to work on the GoFLight MOdules?

I am trying to assign the V/S Hold button to a push button on the GF-RP48 module.

V/S Hold has been a non-implemented documented facility of FS for many versions. I don't know why it is still listed, as there's never been any code attached to it.

To hold a V/S simply set altitude hold, set the target altitude, and set the V/S value. The V/S won't stick without an altitude to reach different from the current one.

Also, do you have any plans in the future to allow the LED lights to work on the GoFLight MOdules?

Well, I would like to do something with all the displays, but it won't be immediately. It would probably have to be a different module as it isn't really in the scope of FSUIPC. It might need to be along the lines of EPICINFO.DLL (maybe "GFINFO.DLL"). But no promises about timescales. There's so much else on my list. And I'm waiting for some more GF units too to sort things out.
