Hi Nathan,

to trigger via MobiFlight something in the Sim, you need the EventID's.

The Developer, here PMDG, determines, how to trigger something. Normaly you can trigger with normal parameters like 0, 1, 2,3 or so.
In the original PMDG you do the most settings with the mouse. Left click, right click, wheel up/down and so on. These settings are assigned certain values. So you have to use these values in MobiFlight.

If you config a switch defined in MobiFlight you have to enter accordingly the EventID. In the next step you have to fill in the required parameter. In this example you have to fill in a mouse parameter. MobiFlight transmit this parameter to the Sim and the Sim executes the corresponding action.

Every EventID published by the developer can be taken. Same applies to the offsets. To remember: offsets are for Sim-Output and EventID for SIM-Input.

For the AFDS the you need 3 momentary Buttons for the EventIDs 69971, 69972 and 69973. This Events have all the same parameter: 536870912. This is the parameter for the singel left mouseclick. Only in the Sim you only take the left mousclick to "push" these buttons. That's all.

If you have further questions, don't hezitate to ask them ;)
