Greetings
Can MF manage buttons in a hierarchical way?
Let me explain. For example with the Mustang F1:
- if you turn on AutoPilot, it also turns on FlightDirector and YawDamper
- if you turn off YawDamper, it also turns off AutoPilot
- you can turn off FlightDirector only after you have turned off AutoPilot
- etc. etc
How to proceed?
Thank you

Several actions on the same button...
FSX/PMDG on WIN7
Usually fly online as 1W4C
Does NOT use the privacy-violating DISCOGS.

I don't understand, please could you explain how?
Also, how do I turn off FlightDirector only AFTER you've turned off AutoPilot?
Thank you.

Add 2 or more input configs and use the same button. I can't add screenshots :(

The dependency you can handle with precondition

Not easy....

Thank you, I think I understand.
Regarding the hierarchy of the buttons, you say "Not easy....", if you mean "impossible" unfortunately I would be forced to abandon MobiFlight...

Not impossible - the logic of MF just ain't my kind of logic. I like Spad.Next better and I might even go back to Link2FS even though it ain't maintained any more and I have to do the programming of the arduino myself.

Hi guys!

@MustangMig - you can definitely create multiple input configs for the same button and then assign them different input actions, e.g. for flipping a set of light switches with only one physical switch.
Have a great day!

Ok Sebastian, thank you.
My other initial question was: can you Turn Off a Button only AFTER you turn off another? (turn off FlightDirector only AFTER you have turned off AutoPilot).
It can be done?
Thank you

Yes, you can use preconditions for this.
Have a great day!
