Yawman Arrow Controller & X-Plane 12

Multifunction Controls with the Yawman Arrow Controller and X-Plane 12

My XPlane 12 FlyWithLua Scripts for Multifunction Yawman Arrow Controls can provide your finger tips access to more cockpit functionality from the Yawman Arrow without reaching for your keyboard and mouse.

These scripts were inspired by Yawman’s official PMDG 777 mappings but there are notable differences. The scripts vary per aircraft but they all generally provide easy access to autopilot functions and views to avoid using the keyboard or mouse use.

See each script’s GitHub page for bindings. See Yawman’s discord for community chat and to find more Yawman goodies plus announcements.

These are Lua scripts and they are hosted on Github. Generally, each aircraft requires its own script. The scripts indicate if they’re for a specific aircraft by developers such as Toliss or Flight Factor. They probably won’t work with other developer’s aircraft. The scripts currently do not care who the developer is but only the airframe’s ICAO code.

Requirements

Installation

Note that most scripts do not modify your axes. You’ll need to set up your Yawman Arrow’s axes as you like. Spoilers and engine reversers tend to be the systems that need to be reversed depending on the developer’s preferences.

After FlyWithLua is successfully installed into X-Plane 12, save *Yawman Multipress.lua to /X-Plane 12/Resources/plugins/FlyWithLua/Scripts

Example Button Assignments for the Toliss Airbus A321

Sixpack 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 are referred to as SP1, SP2, SP3 etc. These are the two rows of three buttons, where the upper-most left button is 1 and the lower-most right button is 6.

Some Yawman documentation refer to these as MF 1L (SP1), MF 1C (SP2), MF 1R (SP3), MF 2L (SP4), MF 2C (SP5), MF 2R (SP6)

Assignments

The following assignments are not completely documented at this time. It’s best to review the script for assignments until the coder gets his house in order.
