Hey,

Sorry, i'm not very familar with MF...

I run a rotary encoder on a bodnar board and use MF to set the EFIS ND Range for all my aircrafts (e.g.: Input: A32NX_EFIS_L_ND_RANGE_DEC <> A32NX_EFIS_L_ND_RANGE_INC)
But it dont work for inibuilds A310, because there are only presets with a fixed zoom factor. (e.g. A310 EFIS Range Capt 240)

Ist there a way to switch between all switch positions with a rotary encoder? Maybe with a precondition? (E.g.: when switch is on 60 switch to 120, when switch is on 120 switch to 240)

Hi,
I don't have MSFS, but if you prefer a rotary encoder instead of a multi position rotary switch i would try to find a command.
So not writing the value, but using a command like EFIS RANGE INCREASE and EFIS RANGE DECREASE for the encoder movement.
If exists such in MSFS and A310...

Do you know that you can simplify: if($=1,0,1) ?
Use simply: 1-$ :)

As i said: I already use a rotary encoder. So EFIS RANGE INCREASE and EFIS RANGE DECREASE would work perfect (works also for my other aircrafts),but i cant find this commands for A310.

Dont know what you mean with this : if($=1,0,1) ?
Use simply: 1-$

Ok, clear.
Sorry I don't have info on that specific aircarft.
The other thing is simply my signature to simplify MobiFlight life :)

I don't think the software is able to read in which position a rotary encoder is, so therefore it wouldn't work. That would probably be different with a switch, but as far as i know a rotary encoder is only able to tell the software which way it is turned, but not the positions it's in.

I thought it might be possible to read the switch position from the plane, not the position from the hardware rotary switch.

I am actually trying to make my FBW setup work, have a potentiometer that I was trying to follow the tutorial to implement the Range increase and decrease.
Possible you can share what works well for you using these variables?, since doing it for the first time so looking for the actual code I need to enter following the online tutorial by Captain-D

Kind of a very late response but here is the code to operate the range knob with an encoder...

LEFT
iconCode:
(L:A310_map_range_capt_switch) -- 0 max (>L:A310_map_range_capt_switch)


RIGHT
iconCode:
(L:A310_map_range_capt_switch) ++ 4 mIN (>L:A310_map_range_capt_switch)
