Missed some events in that list, here are the remainder:

AS1000_CONTROL_PAD_COM

AS1000_CONTROL_PAD_CRS
AS1000_CONTROL_PAD_Home

Multi-Function Knob

For the GCU479 multifunction knob, the following RPN is an example of how the knob is done on the SR22T:

Inner knob:

                        (L:WT1000_Controlpad_Mode, Enum) 0 == if{
							p0 0 > if{ (>H:AS1000_PFD_COM_Small_INC) } els{ (>H:AS1000_PFD_COM_Small_DEC) }
						}

						(L:WT1000_Controlpad_Mode, Enum) 1 == if{
							p0 0 > if{ (>H:AS1000_PFD_NAV_Small_INC) } els{ (>H:AS1000_PFD_NAV_Small_DEC) }
						}

						(L:WT1000_Controlpad_Mode, Enum) 2 == if{
							p0 0 > if{ (>H:AS1000_PFD_CRS_INC) } els{ (>H:AS1000_PFD_CRS_DEC) }
						}

						(L:WT1000_Controlpad_Mode, Enum) 3 == if{
							p0 0 > if{ (>H:AS1000_PFD_XPDR_Small_INC) } els{ (>H:AS1000_PFD_XPDR_Small_DEC) }
						}

Outer knob:

						(L:WT1000_Controlpad_Mode, Enum) 0 == if{
							p0 0 > if{ (>H:AS1000_PFD_COM_Large_INC) } els{ (>H:AS1000_PFD_COM_Large_DEC) }
						}

						(L:WT1000_Controlpad_Mode, Enum) 1 == if{
							p0 0 > if{ (>H:AS1000_PFD_NAV_Large_INC) } els{ (>H:AS1000_PFD_NAV_Large_DEC) }
						}

						(L:WT1000_Controlpad_Mode, Enum) 2 == if{
							p0 0 > if{ (>H:AS1000_PFD_CRS_INC) } els{ (>H:AS1000_PFD_CRS_DEC) }
						}

						(L:WT1000_Controlpad_Mode, Enum) 3 == if{
							p0 0 > if{ (>H:AS1000_PFD_XPDR_Large_INC) } els{ (>H:AS1000_PFD_XPDR_Large_DEC) }
						}

At this time there isn’t a dedicated event for that knob.

Numeric Lighting

On the GCU479, the number pad backlights are blue when inputs will go to the selected COM/NAV/CRS/XPDR mode selection, and white when they will go to MFD page inputs.

On the SR22T, this is achieved with two sets of emissive node labels, one set that is white, and one set that is blue. You can detect the current mode using the L:WT1000_ControlPad_ModeInput_Inhibited LVar. When this is true (inhibited) this means input to the selected mode control is inhibited and the lights are white. When this is false, this means input flows to the selected mode control and the lights are blue.

Hello! Do these work with simconnect?
