Thanks for joining the forum and downloading tankER9X.
First question is what version of tankER9X are you using? The last version of tankER9X featured some templates for the El Mod Pro. Select an empty model - go to the templates page and load up the El Mod Pro template. The lights and ignition are on channel 5. It is best to asign the 3 position switch ID0 to channel 5.
Your mix for channel 5 should look like this:
CH05 100% MAX Switch (ID0)
-100% MAX Switch (ID2)
In this case switch up to the (ID0) position and back to the middle turns on the tank (ignition)
Flick the switch down to (ID2) position and back to the middle should turn ON the light repeat to turn off the light.
The example above assumes that you do not want to control an auxillary light (in addition to your headlight).
If you are wanting to control your headlight AND an auxillary light (convoy light or other) then the existing template won't work as is. One way to make it work is to use one of your pots (not ideal and why it is not in the template)
Add another mix to channel 05 so it looks like this
CH05 100% MAX Switch (ID0)
-100% MAX Switch (ID2)
-50% P1 Switch (ID2)
Now if you turn P1 all the way counterclockwise and then flick the ID switch. You should only be turning on your Aux light. Turn the pot all the way around clockwise and flick the switch for the headlight.
As for the manual I haven't done the work as yet and because tankER9X is for all practical purposes identical to the standard er9X version and the standard manual has been fine so far. Although I really need to add some notes on the Templates section as that is the most different.
As for further updates of tankER9X they will happen in accordance to updates of ER9X itself. It was deceided that tankER9X was not going to do the major alteration of changing the RUD, ELE, AIL terms as this would cause conflicts with using eePe. So major C++ work isn't needed for tankER9X at the moment. However, there are a number of other projects on the horizon that will need C++ so I'll be sure to remember your offer. Thanks.
As an example of why the terms aren't changing here is an eePe file for the ElMod Pro to help you out.
