I can't figure out how to assign 3 stages of a Flap lever and the TBM850 mode switch using A&O. Can anyone help me?

I simply wish to use a custom range for axis Z (50-90%) as 'flap lever' and reserve the top 10% for another custom LVar to activate '850' mode in the TBM850 from Black Square.

I have tried using 'detents' but there is no documentation on them in the manual, so I have no idea why it's not working.

I have also tried using custom 'margins' to limit the axis input range but that doesn't work either.

Assigning an action like this really shouldn't be this complicated. Any help is much appreciated.

I have three assignments in total for the TBM, the 850 LVar needs two different value ranges to work properly. The complexity is not in AAO, it is in the aircraft logic. Besides, what you are trying to do is complex, I don't see how this could be made "easy" in any way. 163 flap detens seems like a lot btw.

I will try and upload some screenshots.

Also, make sure that you have the latest version of AAO.

I don't know about "correctly". It is "a way" of doing this. There are probably many others.
I don't think that there is a "correct" way, or that BlackSquare even thought of external controls when they designed this logic.

Appreciate you sharing these images. I have adjusted the blue arrows so that the movement works on my Honeycomb quadrant. Slightly different to your TCM Airbus module. Thank you for your help.
