I'll have a look at it again later Flagrum, it could well be I did something wrong like that. I'll reply back here if it's still doing the same thing. Thanks for the help.

I have other Mods running mate, so I'm sure it's set up ok. This is the path I placed it in to try and get it to work in JSGME. The LUA file you have mentioned is in saved games is it not? You have to change the LUA file in the directory I have mentioned when configuring toggle switches because that's where all the data is, it's not in the saved games directory. Below is where I placed this in JSGME. C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\_MODS\Toggle switches\Mods\aircrafts\A-10C\Input\A-10C\Joystick\ default LUA This is the path of the default LUA file I copied from the main directory and pasted into in JSGME hoping it would work. Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\Mods\aircraft\A-10C\Input\A-10C\Joystick) folder

I have got a problem with trying to modify the LUA file using JSGME. I didn't want to screw up my LUA file, so I thought it would far easier if I placed the default LUA in JSGME and modified it from their. The problem is as soon as I save the modified default LUA in JSGME, I find that the default LUA in the main directory has also changed to the one I created in JSGME. Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong here? I get a message when I try to load the Sim, it asks me if I want to reinstall the LUA File or something on those lines. How do I make a LUA file in JSGME that I can modify without it effecting the default LUA in the main directory? Thanks!

@DeJohn I have know doubt your method will work, but there are that many people posting in this thread, I thought it best to give them what you gave me and see for themselves it works. I only told them to report back there findings so it convinces others who keep posting with similar problems. :thumbup:

Maybe someone could try this and post here if it works! Someone was helping me out and gave me this answer, so it's a big thanks to them if it works. I will continue to use ON ON switches for an ON OFF function because I think it's easier, but I have ordered some ON OFF ON switches to test this out. Please do reply if this works for someone though. Thanks! For an On/Off/On switch we’ll look at lines 767,768,769, this is the GUNPAC switch, it has 3 positions. ARM/SAFE/GUNARM Now even though it’s a 3 position switch, we are only going to use two (2) buttons to make it work. We are going to change line 767, and line 769, it is not necessary to alter line 768, since this is the SAFE position, (which will be the OFF position on our switch. Also, as with the ON/OFF switch we coded above for the battery, these lines as also ‘iCommand’ functions, so we don’t need to add values for down or up. Line767 we are going to add, combos = {{key = 'JOY_BTN5'}}, to the beginning of the line, and up = iCommandPlaneAHCPGUNSafe, after the down command so the line looks like this….. Line767 { combos = {{key = 'JOY_BTN5'}}, down = iCommandPlaneAHCPGUNPACArm, up = iCommandPlaneAHCPGUNSafe, name = 'GUN/PAC switch ARM', category = 'Armament HUD Control Panel'}, You’ll notice that for the UP command we are using the command information from Line 768 to code the OFF position of our switch. Line768 {down = iCommandPlaneAHCPGUNSafe, name = 'GUN/PAC switch SAFE', category = 'Armament HUD Control Panel'}, Now for line 769, we use the same combos = {{key = 'JOY_BTN6'}}, command at the beginning of the line, and the same up = iCommandPlaneAHCPGUNSafe, command as in line 767, Again this will be the OFF position of our switch. Line769 { combos = {{key = 'JOY_BTN6'}}, down = iCommandPlaneAHCPGUNArm, up = iCommandPlaneAHCPGUNSafe, name = 'GUN/PAC switch GUNARM', category = 'Armament HUD Control Panel'}, Now save these changes to your ButtonBox Interface.lua I hope I haven’t lost you along the way. I know it’s a lot of information, but really its not. There are only 4 basic parts to the code you need to remember… Combos = {{key = ‘JOY_BTN#}}, is the button number you wish to use down (means the switch in in the ON position) up (means the switch is in the OFF position) Pressed (also means the switch is in the ON position, but usually refers to a momentary switch)

I'm going to purchase this aircraft regardless, but does anyone have any idea if it's going to be easier to learn then the A10C? I'm really looking forward to it, but I'm still learning the A10C :joystick:

Last time I used 3D vision it halved my frames rates. Not worth it if you ask me.

Nobody, but since they have done it for 1.2.7 and 1.2.8, I take it they'll also do it for 1.3.0. I mean, why would you think they change course now?

I thought that was the idea of having a beta run alongside of the Sim. The beta is work in progress everybody knows that, so how come we don't get to try it and squash the bugs a bit quicker? When is 1.3.0 patch going to be released, is this the next patch or do we have some other patches to come before this 1.3.0? How long have people been anticipating this Edge stuff now, it must be years for some.

@Laurius Well it was Warhog that gave me the advice, but I'll do my best. The Leo bodner board I use is not a pulse board, it is a board that stays on and something Warhog told me DCS needs. It has buttons 1 to 32 and that's all the info you need to know about the board. All I did to get a function for an ON OFF switch was use an ON ON switch. The switch I got has 3 terminals. I placed a wire on both sides of the switch (ON ON terminals) to one block connector. I then connected one wire coming out of the same block connector, so basically making two wires become one. I connected another wire to the middle terminal of the switch which is GND (Ground) and I was ready to place the wires into the Bodnar board. I placed the two wires I had made into one wire in a slot on in board (say slot B32) and I then just placed the GND into the GND of the board. I then went into the options in the game and flicked the switch for battery. Which as you probably know has only one option in the option menu of the A10C Sim. This assigned a key and now when I switch it in the game it acts like an ON/OFF switch. The only problem I ever got with this method was that when I clicked the switches fast they sometimes wouldn't be recognised. This was no biggy though because I would just put the switches in the sim to the same posion as my toggle switches and it was fine again. Anyways, it doesn't happen now because I just move the switches back and forth a bit slower now to give it time to recognized. For a switch like the APU which has two function in the DCS options ON and OFF, I used the same ON/ON switch but wired it differently. I left out the block connector, so had a wire connected to both ON ON terminals and One wire for GND. I placed one wire in B29 and the other in B28, and then obviously I connected the other wire into GND. I then went into the options of DCS, I pressed the toggle up for ON and it gave me a Joy Button and then pressing it down gave me another Joy Button. Warhog gave me the advice and it's worked for me without messing with the LUA files so far. I am not sure if this is the way you are suppose to do it because I know nothing about this, but it's worked so I'm happy.

Well I just did what Warhog suggested I do for a 2 function switch and it worked without messing around with LUA file. I just used an ON/ON switch like he said. I placed two wires into one slot on the Bodnar, say B32, and one wire into the GND on the board. Now I have an ON/OFF function just like he said, so why all the messing with the LUA for a 2 position switch?

Does the fuel flow override work in this Sim? I set my TM Hotas to override and then watched to see if the fans could reach 100% like it said they could, but nothing seemed to happen. All I found was that my gauges moved slightly before settling back to what they were, but there was no increase in fan speed or another changes as far as I could tell. Can someone tell me if this is this suppose to work or not in this Sim?

Anyone got any idea when this will be available?

I am trying to find CDU Power ON/OFF & EGI Power ON/Off for the A10C, but I am having difficulty locating them in the controller option. Does anyone know what the names of them are in the option? I want to assign a toggle switch to them. Thanks!

I am making a panel for the A10C and would like to know where the cockpit screens are kept?Will I also be able to resize these so that I can print them out? Maybe there is some some templates knocking about. Can someone give me a link if there is? Thanks!

@Warhog- So I can just use one like B3 for 2 connections and the GND for ground? I don't have to use two like B2 & B3? Thanks!

Do you have a link to that software you are talking about? Thanks

I read this guide (link below) but am a bit confused as to what to put in the LUA file for an A10C. I am trying to get an On Off toggle switch to work with the Battery power switch, but I'm not sure what to write in the LUA to make this work. Can you just copy and paste me a line to put in the LUA file to get this to work? Then I would be able to work out my other switches from there. Thanks! http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=89226

I am still a bit confused as to what to put in the LUA file for an A10C. I am trying to get just an On Off toggle switch to work with the Battery power switch, but I'm not sure what to write in the LUA to make this work for the A10C. Can you just copy and paste me a line to put in the LUA file to get this to work? Then I would be able to work out my other switches from there. Thanks!

I just got the Bodnar BBI-32 board and some On Off switches to make some toggle switches for the A10C. However, I have ran straight into a problem with this. I placed one wire in B17 and one in GND on the board to test it and then went to set the Battery power switch in the controls of DCS A10C. The problem \\I found is that the Battery only has one function in the control section in the A10C menu which is called Battery power. There is no Battery power ON & Off option so all my switch does is switch On but not Off. I have to switch it to the ON position two times for it to switch Off in the Sim. Can someone tell me if there is a way around this or has this been a waste of money. Thanks! Update: Another problem I found is when a switch does have an On Off function, (like the APU start) it's only the On switch that works in the Sims cockpit. When I turn my switch to Off, it just remains On in the Sims cockpit. I already own the TM hotas, but I wanted this board to set switches for things like Battery power & lights ..ect. Any ideas anyone?

I think I might be getting confused with the 2120 board here. Where you pointed out that the On Off switch on that board acts like a pulse and is not optimal for DCS. I have now purchased the Bodnar BBI-32 and I assume this board doesn't act like a pulse when using an On Off switch, but instead stays on when placed in the On position, is this correct? Most of the switches on the right side of the A10C are On Off switches and these are the ones I want to mimic.

I have already thought about what I am going to use it for. I want the switches for the A10C, so for things like battery lights and any other switches on the right side of the cockpit. Not to bothered about dials yet, but I'll look at that later once I have the switches sorted out. I am just not sure what switches will work with DCS though, since you pointed it out that DCS uses a constant on control. So are you saying an ON OFF switch will not work because that type of switch will only act like a push button? I'm just confused about what switch to get. I know TM Hotas switches stay on because I checked this in the control properties. But what switches does the TM Hotas use?

Just a quick question about the board you recommended the Bodnar BBI-32 . Can you tell me if I would need ON ON switches for this board to work in DCS, or ON Off switches? I saw that Flagrum said that DCS uses a constant On when the switch is in the on position and he is right, but I'm not sure what switches to get now.
