1.2 Switch Names

(used with s, s1 and s0 commands for normal switches s0, s1, s2, etc. for rotary switches) This section describes the various switches in the CH-47 and their functions. Push buttons (marked with [b]), and rotary knobs (marked with [r]) are also shown here. Switches that are for RP purposes only and do not have an effect on the helicopter are marked [RP] in the description. For switches that have guards, the guard is addressed by appending a "-g" to the switch name (marked with [-g] after the name in the table below).

2 APPENDIX B - SWITCH SUMMARY

2.1 GENERAL

This appendix includes the list of all switches and knobs in the helicopter. The switch names can be used to control the switches from chat commands or gestures. The chat commands for the various switch types are described below. Chat commands may be issued on local chat, or on the channel /2973 for use in gestures.

2.1.1 Toggle switches

Figure 1: Toggle Switch

Toggle switches (Figure 1) are simple two position switches, in most cases with an ON and OFF position (a small subset are selectors between two options). Commands for toggle switches are:

Command	Description
s name	Toggle a switch
s1 name	Move a switch to the ON position.
s1 name	Move a switch to the OFF position.

2.1.2 Rocker Switch

Figure 2: Tri-State/Rocker Switch

The H-160 has a few three-state "rocker" style switches (Figure 2). The switch positions are numbered with "0" as the center position and "1" and "2" as the edge positions. Rockers are moved be clicking on one half of them. Each click moves it one position. Some rocker switches are "spring loaded" on one side or the other. For example the DG CORR switch shown here has LH, RH positions that are spring loaded to a center neutral position. They can be controlled with the following chat commands:

Command	Description
s0 name	Move switch to center position
s1 name	Move switch to edge position 1
s2 name	Move switch to edge position 2

Note that chat commands with spring-loaded switches will not automatically return to the center position. You must explicitly use an "s0" command after a delay. This is to allow you to control the delay in gestures.

2.1.3 Rotary Switches

Figure 3: Rotary Switches

Rotary switches (Figure 3) have varying numbers of discrete positions and are controlled with a rotating knob. The positions are numbered starting with zero at the most counter-clockwise position and increase in a clockwise direction. For example in the knob shown in the figure to the left the BOTH setting is position 0, and the OFF setting is position 3. Knobs are moved interactively by clicking on them. The side on which you click, relative to the indicating line, determines the direction of rotation.

To set a rotary switch to position n via chat command use:

sn name
