FSUIPC button options

[abh_jc_03]

Is there a way to map lnav, localizer, vnav in FSUIPC?  I have honey bravo throttle quadrant. Would be nice to do lights with the switches. I fly PMDG and fenix airbus

For PMDG aircraft, you can use the provided custom controls. See 

 

For the NG3, the custom controls are:
#define    EVT_MCP_VNAV_SWITCH                                (THIRD_PARTY_EVENT_ID_MIN + 386)    
#define    EVT_MCP_LNAV_SWITCH                                (THIRD_PARTY_EVENT_ID_MIN + 397)

You can also use FSUIPC's logging facilities to determine what is being used: set logging for Events, open the logging console and see what is logged when you press the switch in the virtual cockpit. This will be a custom control using the Rotor Brake control, which is an alternative method of using PMDG custom controls, also described here: 

(N.B. when logging events in many add-on aircraft you will see many events being continually logged - you should ignore such events using the DontLogThese ini parameter)

For the Fenix, you can also use logging to determine what is being used. If no events are logged, try listing the available lvars (Add-ons ->WASM->List Lvars) to see if any look applicable.
