• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

Multi Purpose Knobs; Macros Needed?

Hey guys,

Soon I will be starting my autopilot, which uses a small screen with multiple screen menu's. With that, all systems use the Knob adjuster.

Thus my question; Would multiple 'controls' (adjustments of systems) of an AutoPilot require Macros for multiple use of the same click zone 'Area's' for a knob tuner?

The reason I ask is that the FS9 GPS uses click zone Macros for the main adjusting knob on the 500 series Garmin GPS. Will I need special anti-graying medications for my eyebrows when going into this endeavor? or is there a 'easy way' for Kindergardners like myself.

My eyebrows would thank your input on this.

Bill, macros are very useful when building big gauges like the GPS, as they help to avoid writing repetitive code. As they're nothing more than literal replacement of text, you can decide to use them wherever you might think convenient inside a gauge -like in the GPS, or not use them at all, like in most of standard XML gauges.
