Guten Tag

Ok so do not laugh at this but it is funny somewhat. I did the LED config and it went very well and then the switch config tutorial and not so great..I am using a toggle switch and for some unknown reason it only works when I release the breaks when I set brakes nothing happens, but the LED comes on saying it is set...Little help please sir

Danke für Ihre Hilfe

Hi
I can not help without see the configs or know what you do.

Basicly the values are interesting.
The LED will work if value is bigger then 0 ( 1,2,3,100,999999 no matter) .
So a lighted LED means Value of Offset is 1 or higher

The Brake is set at a specific value ( 16383 if i remember right)
Your Push button say " 0 for OFF and 1 for ON"
"Maybe" 1 means the Offset is no longer "0" and LED Light.... BUT its not high enough to activate the brake itself.

Solution:
Set the Brake by Mouse input in the Sim..... Observe the Output Config of LED and check the FSUIPC Value right of the Config line.
If it is e.g. 16383 for ON...... then simply rework your Input Config and say for ON no longer "1" use e.g. "16383" or the value that was shown while your testing.
Good Luck !

Ok so I would like to say thank you for the assistance on the switch tutorial and Led for the brakes
After reading what you said and downloading the list for the FSUIPC and using it with X plane 11 it works. I am using X Plane 11 and setting up my panel for Carenados Premier 1A

Thank you

Ahhhh

Thats the problem !
You not tell me in initial Posting you use Xplane !

XPUIPC is a little different to FSUIPC..... For example as i know FSUIPC accept also "1" value like written in the tutorial. Maybe XPUIPC will not and need the full number. !
Also AddOn Aircrafts can be different. e.g. your Corado "can" accept or won´t accept the standard parking brake Input.
Startup your project.... But always remember XP11 and AddOns there are mostly a bit more difficult.
Good Luck !
