Hello. The Baron G58 has a toggle switch for De-ice Surface which has Auto, Manual and Off. I have connected my On/Off/On switch but there does not seem to be a MSFS 2020 event for this switch.

There is a Microsoft Generic structural de-ice: (>K:TOGGLE_STRUCTURAL_DEICE) but only toggle.

Same problem with Fuel Boost Pump High and Low, Left and Right.

Can someone please help me out?

Thank you.

Hi

Are you "GuyMFG" ???
If yes.... Nice to meet you again my friend !

About question.
Some Input Events on FS2020 not have a SET Option..... Just a toggle. Otherwise we have mostly also a "Variable" that include the Status.

The solution is some Coding in the Input.... Done by the RPN Code.

For example if we be able to use a "Toggle" Event and we be able to read current Stauts from a var we say somthing lile:
Of ON : If Current Variable is "1" then send do nothing..... But if current state in sim is "0" then send the toggle!
For OFF reversed....Do nothing if its still OFF or toggle if its still ON.

Another attempt to handle this is directly write the Variable if its possible (writeable) So we not use the Toggle Event.... We simply SET the Variable to 1/0 by Press/Release.

Badly there is no clear logic meanwhile in FS2020. Some things have SET Events.... other have Toggle.... And others fully have no Events.
Additional there are some typ of events and Variables we currently not be able to handle with Mobiflight in case Asobo not allow this.

Good Luck !
