Landing Gear Lever and Indicator Lights Question

Recommended Posts

In the middle of building my A-10 Sim pit and working on the Gear and Flap Panel. How do you "program" the light in the gear handle to illuminate when raising and lowering the gear as well as the gear indication lights? I tried searching but couldn't find anything. Thanks!

Thanks for the response Han but I'm not using DcsBios just yet. Is this the only way to activate the gear handle light and gear indicator lights?

I used to utilize Helios and Phidget led 64 board and it worked great. But the Phidget board is almost $80. I seem to recall that Simpit Software (https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=179525) was able to support some output boards, but I may be mistaken

You can write it from scratch, like the pit builder pioneer's, or you can just plug and play with Arduinos and DCS_BIOS. Like Hans said, Helios work's too.

 

If you are using a glass cockpit, you don't need any hardware, just Helios or Ikarus.
