Ability to send calculator-codes for debugging purposes #1787

Open joeherwig opened 3 months ago

joeherwig commented 3 months ago

As a User flying open-source aircraft wich are continously maintained (FBW) I'd like to have an easy option to try out the calculator-codes to see if they have the right effect, before I assign them to an input control, so that I can check the functionality without the need of having already an input selected.

Describe the solution you'd like An Multiline input-field like for the button assignments AND a simple "test" or "send command" button would help.

Describe alternatives you've considered Currently I need to define a "__Test command", select an Input (eg. Button press) and then I can check it out, which commands are the right ones. Tried it with the "Execute Calculator Code" Funktion in FSUIPC, but it's quite annoying, as it clears the calculator code form field after each send. image

Mobiflight allows any standard MSFS RPN code to be entered in the input config preset code box.... it doesn't have to be code from the preset drop down menus. You can copy the input config line for a button, so the device selection is already made for you. That is how I test most of the input events, before creating the preset in Hubhop. The code can be saved as part of the mcc file.

Jep, that's the workaround I'm using as well for the moment. Unfortunately not as convenient as the rest of Mobiflight.
