Holding switches during runup

Post by spickle » Wed Jun 24, 2020 6:04 pm

Has anyone come up with a good solution to hold switches during the runup? Holding the Autofeather switch to test with a right handed mouse while also trying to manipulate a right handed throttle is pretty cumbersome. Are there any good key bindings?

Thanks for any ideas!

I don't believe there is a key bound to that switch. Asking one of the devs to confirm.

Hi,

Let's take the Autofeather test as an example.

Firts, right click on Autofeather switch and HOLD the mouse button down. Keep it down while you pan over the VC; switch will remain in Test position.
Now, to select the engine to test, type E plus the engine number, 1 left 2 right. You'll hear a voice call "ENGINE (1/2) SELECTED". Move your throttle controller to manage power of the selected engine. Once finished with one, type E plus number for the other.
After the test is completed, type E to recall throttle action for both engines (single lever), and release the mouse buttom.

Other tests can be performed using this same method.
