[FSXA] Glide needle ON-OFF

[FBVLV]

I want to control the glideslope needle with an ON-OFF switch.
Without the switch, this code works correctly.

<PartInfo>
    <Name>00-NORD_needle_ILS1_Glide</Name>
    <AnimLength>238</AnimLength>
    <Animation>
      <Parameter>
        <Code>(A:NAV GSI:1, Number) 119 + </Code>
        <Lag>300</Lag>
      </Parameter>
    </Animation>
  </PartInfo>

But if I change these lines, it no longer works.

<PartInfo>
    <Name>00-NORD_needle_ILS1_Glide</Name>
    <AnimLength>238</AnimLength>
    <Animation>
      <Parameter>
        <Code>
	   (L:NORD_ILS1_ON-OFF,number) 0 == 	  
	   if{ 119 (&gt;A:NAV GSI:1, Number) } <!-- needle deactivated -->
	   els{ (A:NAV GSI:1, Number) 119 + } <!-- needle activated --> 
        </Code
       <Lag>300</Lag>
      </Parameter>
    </Animation>
   </PartInfo>

Thank for your help.

A: tokens are read only. You need to use the approprite K: token.

Try this first:-

	   (L:NORD_ILS1_ON-OFF,number) 0 == 	  
	   if{ 119 } <!-- needle deactivated -->
	   els{ (A:NAV GSI:1, Number) 119 + } <!-- needle activated -->

OK, but what is the appropriate Event ID ?

I'm unable to find it in the SDK.

You won't find one because no such event exists!

What he was commenting on is with regards this part of your script:

if{ 119 (>A:NAV GSI:1, Number) }

You wanted to shove 119 into an A:variable. That cannot be done as A:vars are "read only!"

So, instead of doing the above (which cannot work), he suggests this that will work:

if{ 119 }

[FBVLV]

That works !

Fortunately you are there.

Thanks.

New problem:
I want that several conditions are satisfied.
If one isn't, the glide needle should be disabled.
I thought I would succeed with this code. But only the last condition is working.

<PartInfo>
    <Name>00-NORD_needle_ILS1_Glide</Name>
    <AnimLength>238</AnimLength>
    <Animation>
      <Parameter>
        <Code>
	(A:ELECTRICAL MASTER BATTERY,bool) 0 ==
	(L:NORD_Nav1_ON-OFF,number) 0 == OR
	(L:NORD_ILS1_ON-OFF,number) 0 == OR	  
	if{ 119 } <!-- needle deactivated -->
	els{ (A:NAV GSI:1, Number) 119 + } <!-- needle activated --> 
        </Code>
       <Lag>300</Lag>
      </Parameter>
    </Animation>
   </PartInfo>

Thank for your help.

The conditional must be lower-case only!

OR - won't work!

or - will work!
