GNX SEM-V swap switches

[Eetsjone]

Hello,

Is it possible to swap the landing gear switch and the flap switch together with the landing gear lights? To me what is now the switch with the label "Flaps" looks more as a landing gear switch.
So I would like to swap the switches but then also that the lights "Landing gear" also react to the new switch.

Thanks.

Unfortunately that's not possible.

Ok, thanks for the reply.
Maybe you can make a controller in the future where the electronics for these switches are swapped. So that both switches stay in place but that the top one controls the flaps and the large one controls the landing gear.

I mean, that can be achieved just fine, assuming you are okay with no more than three flap detents (four detents are only possible on the large lever). In-game bindings are yours to decide, and the labels can be changed using stickers.

As for the LEDs responding, that can be set up in vkbdevcfg. If you scroll down the list of LEDs (global/external tab), you should find a set of six events where three consecutive LED numbers are controlled by two physical buttons. You may have to look around a bit, it is hard to describe more clearly over text when I do not have the device in front of me, and the exact numbering depends on your other connected devices. Anyway, if you change the OP1 (button number) on those, you can make them respond to different inputs, like the lever that is usually for flaps.

Alternatively, if you are playing MS Flight Sim, X-Plane or Prepar3d, the latest version of Mobiflight comes with support for LEDs on VKB devices. With it, you can make the LEDs respond to the simulated gear position, rather than the lever position. (Shameless plug since I contributed that code)

Thanks Delta, will certainly have a look into this. Hopefully I get the LED's working also in DCS & IL-2 as those are the sims I fly.
(Shameless question: maybe a mod also for these sims?

I'll gladly provide advice to anyone who wants to write those plugins, but as I am not playing either, actual plugin development wil be up to someone who does.

Thank you Delta for showing the way in VKBDevCfg, this is an amazing piece of software.
I changed the LED's so that what is for me the landing switch now controls the LED's. Switch down, LED's green. Switch in the middle & up position. LED's red.
