Hi guys,
I'm sure this has been covered but I can't quite figure it out from the other threads..

My problem is with landing gear down LEDs
And moving leds.

I have 3 green LEDs for the left,right and nose wheels down
I then have 3 red leds for left,right, nose wheels moving.
I used the offsets from the mobiflight presets but I currently get all green and red leds on when gear is down. If you then select gear up, they all go out with their corresponding wheels. If you then select gear down again, they all immediately come on even before the gear is actually down


Any help appreciated!!

Hi.
Yes this is still awnsered multiple times ;)

1. What Aircraft !
For Standard Aircrafts i will give you a guide now..... But look up. If you use a AddOn like PMDG this maby support different offsets for the Gear LED´s.
There you only need to read out this and they show 1/0 whatever LED should be on/off..... For Standard Aircrafts you need the follow system.

2. Prevent Problems with wrong Values.
For Standard Aircrafts the Gear Offset 0BEC (and the other 2 Offsets) have value "0" for Gear UP and "16383" for Gear DOWN.
BUT Some Aircrafts are "bugged" and have Gear Down still at Value 16382 or 16381. They never reach 16383.
So i say here Gear Down is every Value BIGGER Then 16380 ">16380"
So you never have a problem with this !


Solution:

For Red LED "Transition"
Use Compare IF Value >16380 THEN Zero 0
Now on Gear UP Value is 0 so LED is OFF..... In Transition Value is between 1-16380 LED is ON..... On Gear Down Value bigger then 16380 compare set value to 0 and LED is OFF again.

For Green LED "Gear Down Locked"
Use Compare IF Value less then 16380 <16380 THEN 0

Now LED Only Light up if Gear is Down and Value is 16380 or Bigger.
Good Luck !
