1. If using FS Controls these values should not be manaully changed select FS Controls again from the category drop down to alter your selection Some cockpit switches may be multi position rotary switches such as Auto Brake selector and Mag Starter switch These types of rotary switches can be connected to Bank 1 or Bank 2 only and they need an Off Value of 999 This means that now the Flight Simulator program will only be sent the On Value that you type into the box The example below shows the Engine Starter Switch positions that the rotary switch would use You can manually type the extra details after the description so that it is easier to keep track of what each switch does E 64 Inputs and Encoders Config E x fel Save K Ext N Help gF Board Config RLUSCOOL Flight Sim Version Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004 A Century of Flight a a a a a Board Number 1 O2 Configuration Saved Bank 7 3 an R an sa cams pumas sms Bank 8 Encoders Bank 1 Bank 2 Bank 3 Bank 4 Bank 5 Bank 6 Bank 7 Bank 8 Encoders Key Category Description Offset Bytes On Value Off F Engines s Engine 1 Starter Switch Position Off w 1 Starter Switch Position Of tion Of 0892 0892 2 fo b s99 Engines v Engine 1 Starter Switch Position Righ oss2 0892 Z Ss aooo o 339 999 Engines w Engine 1 Star 1 Starter Switch Position Left tion Left 0892 Eoo e a99 9992.

6. s Config program without saving any changes Test Inputs There is a 64 Inputs Test program that can be used to validate your switches pushbuttons before running the configuration program This can be useful if the switches are already wired and you need to figure out how you wish to configure them This program can be found either in the Program Menu under Ruscool Applications or in the 64 Inputs and Encoders directory in Windows Explorer While running this program you can operate switches and or pushbuttons one at a time and see which bank and switch number they are wired to It is suggested that you operate the switch pushbutton a couple of times to ensure that the correct reading is shown As some switches can already be ON when this program is started you can get misleading results the first time you try a switch on each bank 64 Inputs Test Please operate switch pushbutton multiple times to ensure correct results Board 1 Bank 1 Switch 5
