If you want Button A, B and C to be the same, you can make Button A, and then make Button's B & C Clone buttons of A. Then when you touch any button A, B, or C they all will change images together and stay in sync. Is that what you want?

It is not possible to press Button A, and have other buttons change unless they are the same cloned button.

hmm clone buttons are nice but they dont have the effect i need . I thought it might be possible to cange buttons without clone.
I try to explain waht i am trying to do...

Ive build a Autopilot for boing 747-400 (Flight Simulator)Boeing 747: Auto Flight Director System the Problem is that some Buttons swiches Off when anoter button is pressed.
Anyone have an idea how to make this?

You'd have to have the sim program you're using be able to send data to TB to tell it to "turn off" that button. Then Zorlac would have to add that to the code.

You might be able to just jump to another tab when the button is touched. Maybe make 2 tabs, and when the button is touched, send the keystroke and also jump to the new tab that looks exactly like this one. Make that tab have the buttons set the way you want.

That's just an idea/trick that others have used for like MFD displays. I don't know if it will work for you here though... But it's an idea to think about.

Currently, there is no way to change other specific buttons status from touching another button, sorry. It's on Zorlac's list I'm sure.

hmmm ok^^ sounds that it would not be easy....

1) anyone knows how to export datas for FSX?

2) hmm maybee it would be eayser to add to every button the possibility to change button status. Maybe with macros...

*edit* ahh the tab changing idea is a think worth. I have to look dont know how many difenrent tabs i need, because there a different varients with each button. Hmm i think i need 8 or 9 tabs in combination with the clone buttons (is it possible to have a cloned Button on a different tab then the original one?) I need to grab a pencil its a bit complex situation....

Yes, you can put clone buttons on any tab and they all stay in sync with each other.

Hi

after some days of testing i realized that there are some more buttons that need to switch other buttons off. The Problem is that other buttons have to stay in their position. The nasty thing is that when i press another button the same buttons (that have to stay, need to switch). A smal example because of my bad explanation....:

[A]----------[1]
[b]----------[2]
I-------[3]

[A] switches [1] off and [2] and [3] stay in their position. [b] switches [2] and [3] off and [1] stays in their position. Due to this fact i cant work with multiple tabs and clone buttons, because the buttons have to "clone" and change their status in diverent situations :-/

Anyone have a idea how to bring it on? Or would there be in future a possibility to swith buttons status in TB. (That would add many new possibilities)

greetings

BILL - I noticed with the A-10 TB profile that the flaps update on one tab but not another... just a FYI since we are on the topic

[Wild.Bill.Kelso]

I created that profile before clone buttons existed.
