Hi!

I am trying to make the QW 146 work with MF.
I am having a few difficulties with the ALT and V/S...

The ALT value comes from a LUA (LVAR) and is using offset 66C0. I can read the value in MF no problem.
The ALT hold LED comes from FSUIPC standard offset for ALT hold.
The ALT hold trigger (button) comes from a Mouse Macro via FSUIPC. Has to be this way since ALT HOLD FSUIPC offset doesn't illuminate the LED on the 2D panel in the sim.

The V/S value comes from FSUIPC standard offset for V/S value.
The V/S hold LED is monitoring the above value with 2 preconditions: <-99 and >99 the LED should come on.
The V/S hold trigger (button) comes from Mouse Macro via FSUIPC. Has to be this way since V/S HOLD FSUIPC offset doesn't illuminate the LED on the 2D panel in the sim nor trigger it.

Problem here is that:
1) V/S LED does work if >100 and <-100, but when back at 0 it doesn't turn the LED off on my button.
2) V/S LED does not turn off when V/S is turned off because desired altitude is met or I physically turn it off via 2D panel or button.
3) The ALT LED is still on when V/S is being used. An example, currently at 9000ft, set at 5000ft, V/S at -1500ft and ALT LED is on. Seems like the QW code keeps ALT HOLD in ON position despite V/S being set to ON...….

I am on Discord if anyone can help here, not sure what else can be done.
Pending feedback from QW directly, but not sure if they will respond.

Thanks,
JR.
