Hi,
I recently bought the piper pa 28 arrow iii and turbo arrow bundle for Prepar3d v4 and encountered some problems. I have a small generic homecockpit setup which I use for many different GA aircraft (default, A2A, RealAir or the JustFlight BN-2 Islander). I normally use FSUIPC to assign all aircraft functions to various hardware switches and buttons so I never have to use the mouse during a flight. But with the PA 28 Arrow III this didn't work for the first time. Some of the functions are easy to set up, for example I can control the Piper's lights, Pitot heat and fuel pump using the respective FSUIPC offsets. But the ignition /magneto switch cannot be controlled by button presses assigned within FSUIPC, even though I use the exact same fs control that the event log shows when I turn the ignition using the mouse (Magneto1 set). Also, the main battery switch can only be operated using the "Toggle Master Battery" command, while it should also be possible to turn the battery on and off using the FSUIPC Offset 3102 Byte set command with the parameter 0 for off and 1 for on. At least this works in all my other aircraft and is much more precise than the Toggle command which doesn't respect the actual switch position. So is there any way to map those functions to hardware buttons? I hate using the mouse for starting up the aircraft, and I hope there is a way to resolve this issue.

Thanks and best regards,

Fabian
