PilotsDeck/StreamDeck Profile for ToLiSS A321
Here are the StreamDeck Profiles I created with my PilotsDeck Plugin for the ToLiSS A321.
It has all the usual Buttons/Switches/Korries from the Overhead, MIP/Glareshield, Pedestal, FCU (working) and MCDU (with Full Keyboard) to support normal Flight Operations without touching the Mouse!
They are designed for my SD/XL/Plus Setup:
- XP-ToLiSS-A321 => The SD Profile which only has supplementary Functions: Changing Views, Calling Ground Ops and Better Pushback, UTC Clock and the XPDR
- XP-ToLiSS-A321-Plus => SD+ Profile with mostly everything that makes Sense to control via the Encoders: FCU, EFIS, Radio, ACP, WXR, Display-Brightness, Lights
- XP-ToLiSS-A321-XL => The XL Profile with all Functionalities. Besides specific Folders for the different Panels/Areas it has Folders for the different Flight-Phases with the most critical/common Controls needed for that Phase.
That means you need at least the StreamDeck XL (or SD+) to get any Use out of it. Please don't ask for SD-Only Profiles - it just got too much to maintain. But you can still use the Plugin and the other Files from this Package to build your own SD Profile customized for your Needs!
The Profiles are for your own and private Usage. You are not allowed to republish / reupload them or any other Package-Content anywhere.
Some of Icons are from Guenseli's Icon Pack - Credits & Thanks to him!
Requirements & Setup
Requirements:
- You need to have at least Version 0.8.6 of my PilotsDeck Plugin installed & running. If you upgrade from a Version earlier than 0.8.0, I recommend to do a clean Installation:
- Make a Export of the Profiles you created with PilotsDeck
- Remove the Plugin via the Installer and then Install it again.
- The Profiles require the Fonts "Digital 7" and "Alte Din 1451 Mittelschrift" installed on your System - you can find them freely in the Internet
- Many Buttons use vJoy System Driver - it is strongly recommended to have that optional Plugin Dependency installed
- Tested with the A321 (CEO) v1.6.2
Installation:
1) Open the Profile Manager App from the Plugin and drop the downloaded zip-File on the Arrow. Check the Readme for Details.
2) Hit Install and add the Profiles to the StreamDeck Software by the Link presented in the App (choose the correct Deck in the StreamDeck Software)
3) If you had the Profiles installed before (and did not rename them), the Profile Manager will automatically remove the old Profiles and rename the new Ones (removing the Copy from the Name)
4) For Upgraders: Remove the PilotsDeck-TLS321* Lua Scripts from your FlyWithLua Directory.
Setting up the Views:
The Buttons to change Views are based on the normal sim/view/quick_look_X Commands. If you already have these Quick Looks defined for the ToLiSS, change the Mapping in the Profiles accordingly. But you could also use these Buttons to setup the Views: the long Press on these Buttons are mapped to sim/view/quick_look_X_mem - so enable the long Press and set & save the View! (The long Press is disabled by default to prevent overwriting a Quick Look accidentally)
vJoy Button Mappings:
These Commands need to be mapped in X-Plane to the vJoy Virtual Joystick:
| vJoy Button# | Command DataRef | Command Description |
| 31 | AirbusFBW/PaxOxyReleaseButtonPress | Release the passenger oxygen masks |
| 32 | AirbusFBW/CVRTest | CVR Test button pressed |
| 33 | AirbusFBW/FireTestENG1 | Test Fire detection circuits for engine 1 |
| 34 | AirbusFBW/FireTestAPU | Test Fire detection circuits for engine APU |
| 35 | AirbusFBW/FireTestENG2 | Test Fire detection circuits for engine 2 |
| 36 | AirbusFBW/CabVSUp| Manual Cabin Pressure Control held in 'UP' direction |
| 37 | AirbusFBW/CabVSDown | Manual Cabin Pressure Control held in 'DOWN' direction |
| 38 | sim/flight_controls/rudder_trim_left | Yaw trim left |
| 39 | sim/flight_controls/rudder_trim_right | Yaw trim right |
| 40 | sim/flight_controls/pitch_trim_down | Pitch trim down |
| 41 | sim/flight_controls/pitch_trim_up | Pitch trim up |
| 42 | AirbusFBW/TOConfigPress | Pressing the TO config button on the ECP |
Usage
I hope/think most Buttons should be self-explanatory. They are generaly configured in such a way to trigger the most common Action in the respective Phase. If applicable, they have a long Press for Off, Reset or a second Key. Some Notices:
- The (3-State) Light Switches behave differently depending on Folder
- On "Gate" they are toggled between Low- and Mid-Position.
- On "Taxi" they toggle from Low > Mid <> Up (so they can quickly be triggered when entering/leaving the Runway). A long Press will set to Low.
- On "Flight" they toggle from Low <> Up (so full either full on or off). Except the Strobes ;)
- The vJoy Button Mappings allow the respective Buttons to be pushed and hold (like you would do with the Mouse).
- The FCU-Displays are also Buttons. They either toggle between Managed/Selected (normal Press) or toggle things like SPD/MACH, HDG/TRK, Alt Scale (long Press). The VS Display/Button is Pull (normal) or Push (long). On the SD+ Managed/Selected is on pressing the Encoder and the other toggle Functions on the Touch-Display.
- The SD+ has different Pages. You can use the Buttons to navigate between them, or use the Swipe-Feature to go to the next / previous Page - for Example for a quick Switch from FCU to Radio or FCU to EFIS.
- The Radios on the SD+ are done with Encoder-Stacks: Push the Dial to switch between Outer and Inner Knob (a ">" or "<" denotes the current Knob). Tap the Touch-Display to swap Frequencies. (Turn -> Press -> Turn -> Tap)
- The MDCU Menu Keys have long Presses: "INIT DATA" for Example will select the INIT-Page on a normal Press and the DATA-Page on a long Press.
- Some ECP Buttons in the Phase-Folders have long Press Assignements for other Pages or STS/RCL.
- Generally on other Multi-Position Switches the normal and long Press either are mapped to the different Directions (e.g. normal is UP/ON, long is DOWN/OFF) OR the Action automatically toggles between the usual States (e.g. the XPDR from XPNDR to TA to TARA and back to XPNDR)
- The Pushback related Buttons in the Displays/Ground Folder are mapped to BetterPushback Commands
- The other Ground Service related Commands map to the default X-Plane Services
FD+LS Sync
The included Scripts automatically sync the FO's FD and LS Buttons with the Captain. You can disable that on-demand in the Displays/Ground->Script Settings Folder.
