Maarp Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 G'day everyone, Has anyone had any luck mapping all the controls/switches of the Otter to hardware? I've got the flight controls ok and some of the switches but can't seem to get things like the starters, fuel cutoff switches and others mapped. Spad.Next shows some of the LVARS in action but they don't seem to respond correctly when you put them into a profile. I'm stumped here and would be grateful for some help.

Aerosoft SimWare Posted March 22, 2022 Aerosoft Share Posted March 22, 2022 Hi Warwick, Please let me know the Lvars you use (and for what) and I will have a look at it. For the sake of information, here is a post on lights interface in the Twin Otter : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maarp Posted March 23, 2022 Author Share Posted March 23, 2022 Thanks for that, I really appreciate the help. I've got some of the Overhead Panel mapped (DC Batt, most of the lights) but for example can't get the fuel cutoff levers to move using: DHC6_FUEL_CUTOFF_L_LVAR (1) or the Starter to move/fire using: DHC6_STARTER_LVAR (2) which should be right for Engine 2 I think. Not sure if I'm leaving anything out or am on the wrong track Cheers Warwick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerosoft SimWare Posted March 23, 2022 Aerosoft Share Posted March 23, 2022 Hi Maarp, I will give it a try later today and come back to you. Best regards. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoolander64 Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 Greetings All, I too am in the same boat and it would be greatly appreciative to get these items mapped through SPAD.neXt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerosoft SimWare Posted March 25, 2022 Aerosoft Share Posted March 25, 2022 Hi, Still checking for the starter assignments. As for the cut-off levers, no need to use the Lvars or external utility. Just use the plain standard MSFS assignments as shown belo : Do the following assignments in MSFS. Goto OPTIONS -> CONTROLS OPTIONS Assign MIXTURE (1)(2) AXIS (-100 to 100%) to the two right levers This is part of the following tutorial : Best regards. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Håvard Bertelsen Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 Did anyone have any luck in mapping the starters iin spad.Next? Have the same issue as the original posters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Håvard Bertelsen Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 OK, so finally figured out the correct combinations of LVARS: Right Engine: Set DHC6_STARTER (LVAR) to 2, Set ASDHC6_ENGINE_START(LVAR) to 11 Left Engine: Set DHC6_STARTER (LVAR) to 0, Set ASDHC6_ENGINE_START(LVAR) to 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
