Hello,

First, excuse my bad english... I'm a french simmer, building a home cockpit with a mix of GoFlight, Saitek and Vrinsight modules.

I try to use a mouse macro for the taxi lights on the Wilco Airbus Series 1 (A 318->321). On the overhead 2D panel, the switch is a 3 positions : off, ground, landing. In my cockpit, I have a 2 positions switch, so, I try to make it make a double click to go directly from off to flight.

I can make the macro for the first "click", the file give me this :

(Only a sample for the "off fonction", when it will be solved, the "on fonction will be the same... and also for landing lights, passengers signs...)

[Macros]

Module="A318CFM_feelThere.DLL"

1=ignon=RX11850*Xa1cc

2=ignoff=RX11890*Xa1cc

3=eng1off=RX11910*Xa1cc,31

4=eng1on=RX118d0*Xa1cc

5=eng2off=RX119e0*Xa1cc,31

6=eng2on=RX119a0*Xa1cc

7=taxilioff=RX13e00*Xe8cc

After reading the docs, I understand that I can have two or more actions, so, I have change the file like this :

[Macros]

Module="A318CFM_feelThere.DLL"

1=ignon=RX11850*Xa1cc

2=ignoff=RX11890*Xa1cc

3=eng1off=RX11910*Xa1cc,31

4=eng1on=RX118d0*Xa1cc

5=eng2off=RX119e0*Xa1cc,31

6=eng2on=RX119a0*Xa1cc

7=TAXILIGHTSOFF

7.1=taxilioff=RX13e00*Xe8cc

7.2=taxilioff=RX13e00*Xe8cc

For me, it should do two times the same job.. But it doesn't work. Can you say me where I am wrong ?

Thank you.

The data in those lines tells FSUIPC where in the Gauge code to call to do the programmed action. I am guessing that on single click action is all the particular location does. Either that, or it needs a true "double click".

Without the aircraft to try things on I can't really help, but you might experiment with the parameter values you can have (,n) at the end of the line. They are listed in the documentation and relate to different things a mouse can be detected doing.
