I am very much a newbie with Mobiflight and still learning. I am trying to follow the Landing Gear switch tutorial video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=98sx64YF4h0&t=522s
At minute 9 Sebastian is telling me to select Action Type "MSFS2020 - Events"

Unfortunately that option doesn't show on my version 9.5.0 of the software.

MSFS2020 is detected (green)
FSUIPC status is green
WASM module is green

I'd show you a screen shot but I have no idea how to get an image in here. The Action Type pulldown list shows a whole bunch of items but only one MSFS one called "MSFS2020 - Custom Input". There is no "MSFS2020 - Events"

Can anyone educate me on what I am doing wrong?

Hi

Your correct.

The Video is pretty old and was done with Version 9.2.
That time FS2020 Inputs was not already "global" and have to be included by hand in a text file.
So we build for that first periode of FS2020 a quick and dirty interface !
FS2020 Events was the Stuff drom this Text File..... FS2020 Custom Input was a coding line where users could include the code themself.

TODAY we have "HubHop Database" .
So tenthousands of Events are already included in our Database and we have a nice Dropdown and Search system now.
Means there was no need to have these 2 Modes anymore.

ALL FS2020 Inputs are done via the "FS2020 Custom Input" Area.
Simply open it and in the Mask you can choose for Vendor.... Use "Microsoft" for Stock Fs2020 Aircrafts.
Then type gear in the search field.
And now you will see the same Gear Presets like in the Video.


***********
Sorry for that situation.
But its not possible to make new videos for every Version. Means older Video Tutorials are always based on that time up to date Version.
Mostly there are no big changes in the UI, but in that example it is. Apollogy for that !
Good Luck !
