Request for add Switch parameter to ignore Knobster

#1 Post by catflyer38 »

Hi, I am in the process to change the behavior of some switches in the FlyByWire A32nx Overhead panel

Example Overhead lights panel, some of the switches have two positions and you can just click/touch on them and they will change position, but some of them have 3 positions and you need first click/touch on them and then use Knobster to change position.
The goal is that they behave all the same just click on it.

It would be great to add a parameter to the Dial touch setting command
(e.g. touch_setting(node_id,property,value) add "Use Knobster" true/false)
This would allow the developer to flag certain Switches so they can be ignored by Knobster

Hi,

I think this is already catered for with..
https://siminnovations.com/wiki/index.p ... se_setting
And
https://siminnovations.com/wiki/index.p ... ch_setting

As I understand Knobster only works with "Touch "

Hi,


No, it is not there atm.

But disabling the knobster would make it fall back to the 'normal' touch rotation, which is probably also not what you want.

Couldn't you just add a transparant button and handle the implementation yourself?
