Toggle button with transition

[Djeez2]

Some actions take some time, e.g. lowering the landing gear. It would be nice to be able to show that. In case of the landing gear (just as in real life) during transition, the light are red. Green when gear is down, off (black) when gear is up, and red during transition.

My proposal is to add a toggle button that supports a transition state. Users should be able to specify a Value for the On state, and a Value for the Off state. In addition, they should be able to specify 3 icons, one for the On state, one for the Off state, and one for the Transition state. The transition icon is then shown when the value is not On or Off.

Implementation could be based on the existing Generic Toggle Button with 2 extra entries in the property inspector: 1 for an Off value, and one specification of the Transition icon.

An obvious use would be a landing gear button.

Thank you for considering this request.

Yah I notice this too, but is there anything other than landing gear that can use this feature?

Hi, I think this would be useful for instance for flaps as well. Based on the current flap extension, the user could apply different logos showing the state of the flaps. It could as well work for the fuel selector. In each of those cases the user would obviously need more than one button (extend/retract, etc.), but one of those buttons could show more than one status (I.e. fuel left/right/both/off).
