VC switch problems

[bkumanchik]

I'm having an issue with a couple of switches on my VC panel, I have two seperate switches for [switch_panel_light] and [switch_nav_light] they both work but when I turn on the [switch_panel_light] the [switch_nav_light] turns on at the same time, I can then turn it off but then sometimes if I click one or the other it toggles the other switch (on or off) - weird

I don't know if there is some kind of dependency between the switches or what.

Also is there a switch for an overhead light VS the [switch_panel_light]?

Thanks in advance for any help,

Brian

The "default XML script" in the FSX modeldef.xml rather stupidly toggles BOTH the panel lights AND the nav lights!!!

To overcome this rediculous situation, edit the script to remove the stupid nav lights toggle!

    <PartInfo>
        <Name>switch_panel_light</Name>
        <AnimLength>50</AnimLength>
        <Animation>
            <Parameter>
                <Sim>

            <CallbackCode>(&gt;K:PANEL_LIGHTS_TOGGLE)</CallbackCode>
        </MouseRect>

For the "overhead light" add this to your modeldef.xml file:

<!-- Custom Animation GUIDs -->
<Animation name="switch_flood_light" guid="F4360074-83CF-47dc-B391-9B141F53A88C" length="50" type="Sim" typeParam2="switch_flood_light" typeParam="AutoPlay" />
<!-- END Custom Animation GUIDs -->

<!-- Custom XML Switches -->

  <PartInfo>
    <Name>switch_flood_light</Name>
    <AnimLength>50</AnimLength>
    <Animation>
      <Parameter>
        <Sim>
          <Variable>LIGHT CABIN</Variable>
          <Units>bool</Units>
          <Scale>50</Scale>
        </Sim>
        <Lag>400</Lag>
      </Parameter>
    </Animation>
    <MouseRect>
      <Cursor>Hand</Cursor>
      <TooltipID>TOOLTIPTEXT_LIGHT_SWITCH_CABIN</TooltipID>
      <MouseFlags>LeftSingle</MouseFlags>
      <CallbackCode>
        (&gt;K:TOGGLE_CABIN_LIGHTS)
      </CallbackCode>
    </MouseRect>
  </PartInfo>
