Which FS and version of FSUIPC are you using?

Try setting logging for Events (non-axis controls), open the logging console and activate the switches in the virtual cockpit - what do you see logged? Try assigning to the control (and parameter) that is logged.

You will probably see custom controls logged. These are maybe the custom controls needed:

Quote

// Pedestal - Control Stand - Fuel Control
#define EVT_CONTROL_STAND_ENG1_START_LEVER                (THIRD_PARTY_EVENT_ID_MIN + 520)    
#define EVT_CONTROL_STAND_ENG2_START_LEVER                (THIRD_PARTY_EVENT_ID_MIN + 521)    

To use those (for a toggle control), you would assign to the Rotor Brake control, with a parameter of 52001 (for engine 1) and 52101 (for engine 2). See the following FAQ entry on how to use custom controls when using mouse operations:

If you want separate events for cut-off / idle, better to use the custom controls directly (i.e. with a parameter indicating the state, not the mouse operation) - this post shows how to do this:

N.B. If using MSFS2020/2024, then you can also use the available (MobiFlight) presets - and you have posted in the wrong forum!

If using FSUIPC7 (for MSFS2020 and 2024), please use the specific sub-forum for FSUIPC7. I will move this topic to thst sub-forum.

And if using FSUIPC7, you may find it easier to use the available presets for the PMDG 777, which use the custom controls via the Rotor Brake method. In the assignments panel, check for 'select for Preset', click the Find Preset... button, then navigate to the MobiFlight PMDG 777 presets, which will grouped by subsystem.
