Want override switch for flight mode on hex

[Moby58]

Hi guys,

Setting up my Hex.
9x running opentx-r2647

I have the 6 position mod done so I can get a number of flight modes on the 1 switch for APM 2.5
So, I have STABILIZE, ALT HOLD, LOITER, CIRCLE, AUTO, & STABILIZE.
So that I can see the mode in the display of 9x, I have done 6 custom switches, with the output value of the 6-pos switch assigned to each. (eg CS1 = -100, CS2 = -41, etc)
I then have set up flight modes with each going to a custom switch. Because there is only 5 flight modes, position 6 goes back to stabilize. (FM0 = CS1 = STABILIZE, FM1 = CS2 = ALT HOLD, etc)

Now, because it is awkward to get to the 6-pos switch, I would like to have LOITER on the physical THR CUT switch of the 9x, and for it to override any mode the 6-pos switch is in. So, whether in STABILIZE, CIRCLE, etc, flick the switch with left finger and the hex goes to LOITER

for my initial P3 mix (the 6-pos switch) on CH5, I have

• source P3
  weight 100
  offset 0
  trim off
  curve Diff 0
  mode 01234 inverted (so active all modes)
  switch ---
  warning off
  multpx replace

and this all works great as it should

I have then added another P3 mix for channel 5 (after the first) with

• source P3
  weight 16
  offset 0
  trim off
  curve Diff 0
  mode 01234 inverted (so active all modes)
  switch THR
  warning off
  multpx replace

but when I check the outputs in APM, when the THR CUT switch is on, the new mix is being added to whatever the 6-pos switch is on, instead of replacing with a fixed value.

SO, what have I done wrong? or is there a better way to achieve what I want??

Hi guys,
Is this really too hard? or is it not possible at all?? I thought someone would have an idea

Use a custom switch to trigger that flight mode, with an OR condidtion between the THR switch and the initial flight mode trigger?

Easy:

Source: MAX
Weight: 16 (or whatever value you need)
Switch: Thr
Multpx: replace

If you use P3 as source with a weight of 16, flipping the THR switch causes the 16% of the current value of P3 to be assigned to channel 5.
I have exactly this config, just with ELE being my "panic button" .
