I have a pic but don't know how to include it. Anyway, I have built my radio stack in the image of the Cessna's... and the buttons I've used top row are the simple momentary, push-to-make, non-latching guys. I've used the if($=0,1,0) value with success on all the other radio buttons, but com1 and com2 need to toggle ~ either-or. Please, someone amazing, advise me of my required settings. Also, how do you attach a pic to a post here??

Hi.

Not understand the problem itself...... Do you use the Standard FSX Cessna ???

You can use the "Both" button for this .... or not ???

Maby you can try the event ID inputs... so you not need the IF Function already !

Good Luck !

Hi pizman82. Thank you, you are right, I could use the BOTH option, but on this project it's more about getting the hardware working correctly. It is so satisfying, and still a little bit mind-boggling, to press a physical button and see the one on the screen react. I said Cessna, but the Beechcraft etc, also, has the standard light aircraft radio stack I have tried to replicate. Of the eight audio buttons along the top, six are latching, on-off. Com1 and Com2, however, swap - either one or the other only. I'm okay at building the stuff but hopeless with Boolean logic etc. and only learned of Event ID last week - promptly losing the list.

Hi
Hint for the future.....

One basic technic i will recomend to all cockpitbuilders is..... Always look how the Virtual Cockpit workes... Same way it should be posible in the Real one....

In youre Example..... The Com Panel of Standard FSX workes as you describe....
All Buttons latching BUT the Com1 and Com2 Button is just a momentary Push button in the Simulator, too. (You see in high zoom in 3D Cockpit that this button only pushed momentary while the others hold in position.)
So the correct workaround is simple to set this like momentary Buttons.

Good Luck !

Cheers again pizman82. I could jump from Com2 to Com1, but not back again. I thought perhaps the button had a physical fault but it tested fine. So I changed from Offset 0x3122 Mask 0x40 to Event ID 66464 - and it works!

I don't know what I was doing wrong but all's well now - somehow. Thanks for your time.
