Macro with Carenado Hawker 850XP FSX, Overhead switch mouse right click.

[gustavousanj]

Hello all,

I have the aircraft Carenado Hawker 850XP for FSX. I'm trying to create macros for the overhead, and it works fine, with exception of the switches (usually 3 positions) where I have to use the mouse right click to change the switch position. How can I program the macro simulating mouse right click? Anyone here with the same issue?

Thank you so much!!!

Create with a left click initially, then edit the macro file and change the left mouse-click code 3 to a right mouse click code 1.

The mouse click codes are defined in the Advanced User Guide, in the Mouse Macros section:

Quote

1 Right single click
2 Middle single click`
3 Left single click
4 Right double click
5 Middle double click
6 Left double click
7 Right button & drag
8 Middlebutton & drag
9 Left button & drag
10 Move
11 Right elease
12 Middle release
13 Left release
14 Wheel up
15 Wheel down
16 Leave
17 Count

Hey John,
Thx for the quick help response! If the line of the macros is: 

[Macros]
1=L:ASD_SWITCH_ISOLATE_850XP=Toggle

Where in this line should I add the number to activate right click instead of the left?

I’m manually typing the macros. Carenado Hawker doesn’t work with mouse macros.

Thx again!

But thats an lvar macro, not a mouse macro.

Ok. But if using lvars you need to consult the documentation for the aircraft on how the lvars work. I don't know that aircraft, but, for example, the PMDG SDK uses parameter codes (to controls) to emulate different mouse button clicks. Maybe its as simple as using the Set action (instead of Toggle), with an appropriate parameter? Or maybe Inc/Dec controls? You could try logging the lvar values with the switch in different positions, to see how that lvar changes.

In the 850xp this L:Var has 3 values :
0 = Batt 2, 1 = Normal, 2 = Batt 1

Using 2 buttons, the left click can be : 
#=L:ASD_SWITCH_ISOLATE_850XP=Inc,2
then the right click can be :
#=L:ASD_SWITCH_ISOLATE_850XP=Dec,0

Save a button! 👍 😃 Just make 1 button cyclic :
#=L:ASD_SWITCH_ISOLATE_850XP=Cyc,2

Hope this helps,
