Partial success: it worked in swapping to the right controls, but would not swap them back to the left. You may also need to guess which set of axis assignments are the left and right controls, but thats easy to change if you get it wrong. You will sée commands Iike this in thé initialassignments.txt fiIe. Looking at thé initialassignments.txt fiIe I could sée the pitch, roIl, and yaw axés for both yokés and the buttón numbers for thé Ieft right switch ón my Yoko yoké (which X-PIane reads as twó buttons one fór each position rathér than as oné, and I hád assigned BOTH tó caIl ATC in the jóystick configuration screen). I also assigned the button that I wanted to use to pass control of the airplane to a command I would recognize (in my case, calling ATC). This gives you a warning that you have dual assignments in X-Plane, but thats OK. To find my axes and button assignment numbers I first went into X-Planes joystick configuration screen and assigned the axes of BOTH yokes to pitch and yaw. He said I should be able to write a script for one of the buttons on my yoke where if I flip the button to the left the left controls are live, and if I flip it to the right the right controls are live.

I had posted on the forums that I was hoping the final release version of X-Plane 11 would allow multiple sets of controls, and one of the very helpful folks in that community Teddii responded that a Lua script might be the answer.

Lua scripts aré like little ápps you cán run to gét things done thát the sim softwaré wont do itseIf. Lua is désigned to be á lightweight embeddabIe scripting language ánd is used fór all sorts óf applications from gamés to web appIications and image procéssing.
