Hello Herve, is there a chance you've gotten around to updating the FGProvider wiki? This is a great project! Seems strange there is almost no open/active discusions on the FG J661 interface.

Hello, Back in September of 2011 Hervé Girod stated "For the moment, only the Flightgear => ARINC 661 (Server inputs) are supported in the Flightgear provider. However, the provider architecture already support the ARINC 661 => provider direction, so adding the capability to send commands to Flightgear depending on ARINC 661 interative events should be a no-brainer." I would very much like to be able to send commands to Flightgear. Has anyone got this to work? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated....

Hello, I would also like to ask some advice being new to ARINC 661. Using release 0.17, I have the demo HSI interface to FlightGear. Works perfect! I'm also able to change and add various widgets to the HSI with the J661 Editor. By the way I had to manulally edit <prop name="Filled" value="A661_TRUE"/> of the rectangle widget in the xml. For some reason this option doesn't seem to be available in the J661 editor.

Is it possible to get a toggle button to control switches within FlightGear? I have a toggle button working as expected using the editor/client/server. Text on the button will toggle and I can see the event in the editor window. I've also been able to add a controls tab in FGFSDemo.java and control the master battery switch (on/off) from FlightGear Client Console. But I haven't been able to get the A661 toggle button to control the master battery switch in FG. Below is the mods made to the xml's...

I've been able to add items to the example HSI by modifiying the dataDrivenConfig.xml and using the editor to add items. I've also added an ARINC toggle switch and would like to connect this to the flightgear battery switch. This would be under controls/switches/master-bat in the property tree. Can't seem to get this to work. I'm guessing I need to add the toggle input to dataProvider and modify the GenericFlightGear.xml. I did try adding a variable under the "controls" node like this: <variable...

Thank you!
