• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

MSFS how to manage code for power ON and OFF a LED with condition?

Hi all,
I've done a works code for power ON a Led into the cockpit as soon as I switch ON the the Circuit n.20
Follow the code

<Component ID="BKP_BATTERY_LED" Node="BKP_BATTERY_LED">
<UseTemplate Name="ASOBO_GT_Material_Emissive_Code">

<EMISSIVE_CODE>(A:CIRCUIT ON:20, Bool) 1 ==</EMISSIVE_CODE>
<EMISSIVE_CODE_FACTOR>3</EMISSIVE_CODE_FACTOR>

</UseTemplate>
</Component>


My question is.. now If I want to power off this LED using another condition for example turning ON the Engine, how do I have to change this code? Or do I have to do it in another way?

thanks

Code:
<EMISSIVE_CODE>(A:CIRCUIT ON:20, Bool) 1 == (A:ENG COMBUSTION:1,bool) ! &amp;</EMISSIVE_CODE>

The light will only be on when the circuit is on AND (&amp ; ) the engine is not (!) on.

Hi Anthony31
So I have to think that :
&amp = and
! = Not ?
Does it means your sentence?
Thanks

Yes

&& is "and"
! is "not true"
|| is "or"
!= is "not equal"

I write && as &amp ; though because in XML && might not work (it didn't work in FSX so I have kept the habit)

In the same way that the > symbol should be written as &gt; because > in XML is a special character.

Thank you very much for explanation.
Sure it will be useful for me for other xml instructions. Doing my project I’m learning also.
