Hi Mark !!
First, thx for the fantastic video`s and this amazing Twin Otter Cockpit !!

I also love this plane and would like to build me a start panel.

But I have the problem that I do not find the start toggle switch in fsuipc !!
I mean the starter toggle on the left side panel overhaed. (on left - off - on right)
What switch do I have to choose to start the toggle to serve in FSUIPC?
cank you help me please ?

Hi there. You won't find the starter function in FSX, it is implemented by Aerosoft. You need to poke the right Lvar to make it operate. Here is an extract from the LINDA library that shows how to manipulate the Lvar you need:

function Starter_Sw_left ()
    ipc.writeLvar("L:Starter_Sw", -1)
end

function Starter_Sw_off ()
    ipc.writeLvar("L:Starter_Sw", 0)
end

function Starter_Sw_right ()
    ipc.writeLvar("L:Starter_Sw", 1)
end

Maybe you can do this from FSUIPC without Lua, or you may need to write some Lua macros to do it. Use LINDA, I say
