Two rotor brakes on a single switch

[OVD]

Dear Pete and John,

How could I assign two rotor brakes to the same switch with FSUIPC7? Duplicating the line in FSUIPC7.ini and changing the rotor brake value to the one corresponding to the second function that I want to assign to the button won't work, only keeps working the first function.

Thank you so much!

That should work, but you also need to change the assignment index number (the first number), and make sure you do this either when FSUIPC is not running, ot if it is then the button assignments window must be open, and once you have saved the file you must press the Reload button to reload the assignments from the file.

If it is just two controls that you want to send, and it is a button and not a switch, then you could also assign one control to the press and one control for the release.

Another method of doing this would be to create your own preset, using the myevents.txt file. If you are not familiar with presets, if you show me the assignment line that you want to duplicate, and let me know the additional rotor brake value you want to add, I can show you what the calculator code for the preset would be.

There may already be a preset available for this - you can check on HubHob.
