MSFS2024 Multiple Commands Single Button Help (PMDG77W)


Recommended Posts

Posted

Good day,

I will start by apologizing, I am certain this has been asked prior but unfortunately, I cannot locate the topic. Secondly, Pete and John, thank you for the years of dedication and additions to the flight sim community. 

 

In MSFS2020 I had the Bravo throttle quad programmed via FSUIPC where I could control all landing light functions in the PMDG 77W (6) with one button. Same with the Taxi and Runway Turn Off lights. No issues. 

 

Fast forward to MSFS 2024, I can get the buttons programmed, however the actions are erratic. Meaning, when I turn the Landing lights on, only a single light of the 3 will turn on, then once turned off, the switch will stay "on". As I function the switch, the lights turn on and off in no order whatsoever. Same to be said with the taxi lights/runway turn off as well. 

I do have the beacon, nav, strobe, taxi, etc. programmed and they work great, it just seems the multi command lights do not function as intended. All programming has been completed in the .ini file. 

 

Any assistance would be graciously appreciated at this point.

It would help if you could attach your FSUIPC7.ini so I can see your assignments, and also maybe a log (with appropriate logging enabled: Buttons & Keys, Events and WAPI Debug level if using presets)) so that I can see what is happening . Are you using a (combined) presets for this assignment, using a macro or overloading your assignments?
What you can try is dependent on what you are currently using. 

If using individual presets and have overloaded your assignments, you can try combining them to use one preset. Here are some combined presets for the 777, but I am not sure if they are valid for MSFS2020, MSFS2024 or both:

//PMDG/B777 300ER/Lights
PMDG_B777_Landing_Light_All_Off#(L:switch_22_a) if{ 2201 (>K:ROTOR_BRAKE) } (L:switch_23_a) if{ 2301 (>K:ROTOR_BRAKE) } (L:switch_24_a) if{ 2401 (>K:ROTOR_BRAKE) }
PMDG_B777_Landing_Light_All_On#(L:switch_22_a) ! if{ 2201 (>K:ROTOR_BRAKE) } (L:switch_23_a) ! if{ 2301 (>K:ROTOR_BRAKE) } (L:switch_24_a) ! if{ 2401 (>K:ROTOR_BRAKE) }
PMDG_B777_Landing_Light_All_Toggle#2201 (>K:ROTOR_BRAKE) 2301 (>K:ROTOR_BRAKE) 2401 (>K:ROTOR_BRAKE)
PMDG_B777_Runway_Turnoff_Light_All_Off#(L:switch_119_a) if{ 11901 (>K:ROTOR_BRAKE) } (L:switch_120_a) if{ 12001 (>K:ROTOR_BRAKE) }
PMDG_B777_Runway_Turnoff_Light_All_On#(L:switch_119_a) ! if{ 11901 (>K:ROTOR_BRAKE) } (L:switch_120_a) ! if{ 12001 (>K:ROTOR_BRAKE) }
PMDG_B777_Runway_Turnoff_Light_All_Toggle#11901 (>K:ROTOR_BRAKE) 12001 (>K:ROTOR_BRAKE)


If using a macro or overloading your assignments and sending multiple commands (one for each light), then you can also try adding a pause control (control number 1152) between sending each command (whether this is a preset, an event/control or an input event).
