I have build the landing gear handle with 3 mcroswitches but I am unable to get to work with the EventID given.
Anyone that can guide me to the correct answer with which event id's to use and how to program them

Hi Henning,

for GEAR DOWN ON PRESS use EventID 66080 GEAR DOWN) with Parameter 536870912 (MOUSE LEFT SINGLE),
For ON RELEASE use EventID 74183 (GEAR LEVER OFF) with Parameter -2147483648 (MOUSE RIGHT SINGLE)

for GEAR UP ON PRESS use EventID 66079 (GEAR UP) and Parameter -2147483648 (MOUSE RIGHT SINGLE)
and for ON RELEASE use EventID 74183 (GEAR LEVER OFF) with Parameter 536870912 (MOUSE LEFT SINGLE)

So you only need two micro switches. Always if you release GEAR UP or GEAR DOWN you automatically switch to GEAR LEVER OFF. Works like an ON-OFF-ON-switch.

Thanks.
Can I ask another question or shall I make a new one?
I try.
I should restart connector after putting in a switch and then it would not start it comes with a fault as flws:

When I use as you told me. The gear goes from down directly to off position I am unable to move it to on.
I have tried both with the off switch active and deactivated.
When it came to the other fault, it seems to have connection with vers. 7.10.
When I reloaded 7.9.0 I was able to start the connector again

If MF does not load your mcc file after your last config then this config has an error.
Best way is to edit the mcc-file in an editor and remove this config. Search for the name of the config in the regarding section (input or output)
