Futaba 18 MZ WC query
When I select a switch for Conditions the switch selection page shows the On/Off prompt allowing to set the appropriate positions ( the user manual shows this ).
When I do this for the ignition switch the switch selection does not show the On/Off prompt but rather the Group/Single prompt. The switch I have used for ignition is SC. The choke is on SB and I get the same screen. Am I doing something wrong or is a possible software issue with the Tx. A couple of photos showing the user manual screen depiction and the screen as it appears on the Tx. |

If I am understanding correctly you are wondering why you don't have the On/Off switch selection screen for the ignition and choke functions.
These would only go to either -100 or +100. So to change the on/off position of the switch, you simply reverse that channel. Hope this helps. |

A single function on a switch or a condition can be one and the same. I have conditions where the only difference between one condition and another condition is one switch setting. I really don't need another condition in this case, but it gives me a different titled condition in programming so there is some benefit to doing it that way.

Thanks for the replies. I probably didn’t explain it clearly enough. I only used the condition as an example as when a condition is added it asks for the switch to activate it which when selected gives an on/off selection. The user manual leads one to believe whenever a switch selection is made ( for whatever ) there is a corresponding on/off selection available to be user defined.
This is not always the case but notwithstanding I have it sorted with the chosen switches activating the functions. Thanks again for your advice. |

I'll chime in. I use conditions on my gliders to set the trailing edge for different flight regimes. I use the trim mix to do this. I also set it up as a condition so I can have a unique elevator trim in that condition. I use the same switch to enable the condition and to turn on the mix.
I set the direction for the condition and then the direction for the actual mix. However, when I do this with the ignition it is simply assigned to a channel and I use the servo reverse menu to make sure the switch operates correctly. I also use the same switch for the condition that is an engine off condition. For that the condition menu is used to set the direction of the switch to turn the condition on. |

I am not sure if that was your doubt? |
