FSLABS PROFILES FO HONEYCOMB BRAVO

[Arty77]

Hello; I bought FSLAB A321 NEO and I wanted to associate the Honeycomb buttons with the Overhead functions (APU, LIGHTS, ENGINES, etc.). There are no presets that work, so I tried to create some Custom ones using variables found in the Behavior list of Tools (APU MASTER 72516). It is not possible even through msfs2024. No luck. Where am I making a mistake? Thank you for the help. ...

What variables? What do you mean by "APU MASTER 72516"?

Unfortunately I had to re-install windows due to a failed update last week, and am slowly rebuilding my system I haven't re-installed the FSLabs yet, but when I do I can take a look.

In the mean-time, please try using FSUIPC's logging facilities: set logging for Events (Log->Events), open the console window (Log->Open Console) and see if anything is logged when you operate the function in the VC with the mouse. You can also try logging Input Events  (Log->Input Events) to also see if anything is logged, and also list the lvars (Add-ons->WASM->List Lvars) to see if any of them look appropriate.

I think that the FSLabs uses custom controls (via the Rotor Brake control) for some switches (such as lights), but I may be mistaken....logging should help.

Also, if you can show me some of the code, maybe for a light switch to start with, I can take a look at that. Otherwise, I will get back to you in a few days once I have re-installed the FSLabs aircraft.

There are also some presets available (78) for the FSLabs A321 Neo, and many of these are for the overhead/lights. However, these are all pretty new (from late June) and won't be available in the preset list (events.txt) file with the latest version of FSUIPC7. Try the one attached below.

Note that I provide the latest preset list (events.txt)  from MobiFlight at the time of release. For newer presets, you should check the HubHop site (https://hubhop.mobiflight.com/presets/) and download the latest events.txt file yourself if there are newer ones that you would like to use.

I tried as you said. But from the list that scrolls at lightning speed, it only records a few commands automatically (lights and master battery) without touching anything. If I click the APU Master button with the mouse, it records: Control 66587-0x0001041b Param 72516 - 0x00011b44 (if I turn on, 66587 - 0x0001041b - 72518 -0x00011b46) ROTOR BRAKE. That's all.

Those are events that are continually sent. You should ignore those by setting the DontLogThese ini parameter so that such events are not logged.

The n try those, i.e assign to the Rotor Brake control using those parameters (72516  & 72518). Presume one of those is for turning the APU master on, and the other off, no?
As I said, I thought that the FSLabs used custom controls via the Rotor Brake control form many buttons/switches and so that would appear to verify that...

Did you check the lights presets in the latest events.txt file that I attached above? Use that to replace the one in your FSUIPC7 installation folder then load them using File-> Reload Presets.

Sorry; last question: where i find Rotor Brake control for use this parameters?

What do you mean? The Rotor Brake control is a standard FS control/event. You would assign it as any other FS control, i.e. from the control drop-down box (when Select for FS Control is checked).

John, you're legendary. Its work. putting only 72516 I can set on and off APU. I'll try with othe controls. thanks very vey much.
