Good Day All
would like to enquire if anyone has a solution to the following. When selecting the fuel cut off switch to ON on the 767 there are two lights above the fuel cut off switch which need to open and then stay open. the LED light associated with this need to cycle on and then go off. Basically an in transit light. Have configured using the data ref and mobiflight. I am able to get the lights to go on in response to the fuel cut off lever been moved however the lights stay ON. any idea on how to make the lights IN TRANSIT lights.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Hi

I not fully understand the situation ( i not fly a B767)

Basically.... Best way is if we can read the needed information of the LED itself. So a clear state if a LED is ON or OFF (1/0)
I not mean e.g. a state of a switch that also mean the led must light..... i mean a dataref that is standaloane for the LED itself!

If this is not possible/available then we can build logics with outher sources.... E.g. We can say "Aslong switch is ON light also a LED.
Sure also more deeper like "If switch is On and Altitude is above 5000ft and UTC Time is between 10 and 11 then light else not".
Those logical statements can be don perfectly with MF.

The last thing that is currently difficult is a Timer Event.
So say something like "If situation happen then Light a LED for exact 5 seconds and then go Off again"
Its possible with deeper transform formulas and multiple configs ( using the Sim Time as a Value and a mem slot) but thats a little uncomfortable.
With MF10.0 we plan for a timer tool in a better and easy way directly within Mobiflight !
Good Luck !
