fixed RWR Indicator Control POWER Button - Bug?

[RoGaR]

Hello alltogether. I tried to bind my RWR Indicator Control POWER Button to my MFD's but with no succes. I tried to use default shortcuts as well, but without success as well.

 

When I push the key, the RWR panel lights up then turns off. I'm able turn on the RWR via mouse. Another friend of mine have the same issue.

The stock joystick configuration file is bad. Releasing the MFD button turns the RWR off. It's easy to fix. Open your joystick config file World 2.5\Mods\aircraft\F-5E\Input\F-5E\joystick\default.lua in a text editor and search for RWR Indicator Control POWER Button ON. Remove the value_up part like so:

{    down = ic_commands.Power,        up = ic_commands.Power,            cockpit_device_id = devices.RWR_IC,    value_down = 1.0,                   name = _('RWR Indicator Control POWER Button ON'),                category = {_('Instrument Panel'), _('RWR')}},

 

Backup the original file before changing anything. Remember that the file is overwritten with DCS updates, so it's best to use a mod manager.

 

Cheers

Thank you for your answer. But this happens even if I use keyboard.

 

Your solution seems correct but I do not want to touch the root files. Is any chance that this bug will be fixed by next update by developers?

Well, I edited my file in 2017...

Just wanted to reconfirm this bug. The only way to get the RWR to turn on is by pushing the button in the cockpit. The hotkey works only as long as it's held down. Once released, the RWR will turn off again.
