I am try to make a model of the Garmin 430 / 530 and have programmed all the buttons but I can not find the offsets for page up and down. I would like to use my encoders for this but currently limited to buttons.

Does anyone know the offsets for this / how to program mobiflight for these knobs?

Thank you

Hi,

if there is an eventid for pageup / down, you can use it in MobiFlight as well as any other eventid.
If you can not find lists of Offsets / EventIDs on the internet, you can contact the developer. Whether they then push out is another matter ...

Hi Please check your Modules Folder of your Sim ( e.g. D:/FSX/Modules )

there is a file called "The 2016 List of FSX and P3D Controls.pdf"

This include all Events, that existing.
Serach there for "GPS" and "G1000" i found more then 50 Events there.

Alternate: You can set the needed commands in FSX/P3D Keybind menue to a keypress.... with Mobiflight you can simulate those keypresses.
Good Luck !

You need to have good knowledge about Lvars. Found this list for A2A C172/182 trainer.
http://www.a2asimulations.com/Cockpitbuilders/A2A%20C172%20Trainer%20-%20Variable%20list.pdf.
Also look at the program xml_vars.
Good luck.

A2A cessna172 is an excellent simulator with more realistic and detailed simulation of the Cessna. They have Lvars of whole cockpit and particularly geared towards cockpit builder. There is whole list of garmin gps 400 series functions in the manual. Sorry I am not clear about this. Just in case some one want to use the a2a Cessna. Like some one prefer pmdg 737 or aerosoft a320 over the build in version of FSX. Then we need those custom variables. I am thinking of build one radio panel for this excellent add on. Once you fly the a2a c172, I don't think you want to go back to the generic one.

Your basicly right....

But the Guy who open the Topic not said he use A2A.... So your information is on wrong place.....
Maby your right... But he don´t say that... Without detailed information i must think he use FSX and no AddOn.
Good Luck !
