iv been playing and the best iv done so far is basically duplicate the control which allows you to set 2 seperate jpystick buttons to the same function, they both operate like push buttons though so pressing it again aill alternate between on and off im still working on it

{ down=device_commands.LIGHTS_PositionTail, up=device_commands.LIGHTS_PositionTail, cockpit_device_id=devices.COCKPITMECHANICS, value_down=1.0, value_up=0.0, name=_('Lights Position Tail BRT else OFF ALT'), category=_('Lights')}, { down=device_commands.LIGHTS_PositionTail, up=device_commands.LIGHTS_PositionTail, cockpit_device_id=devices.COCKPITMECHANICS, value_down=-1.0, value_up=0.0, name=_('Lights Position Tail DIM else OFF ALT'), category=_('Lights')}, iv named it alt just so i know its modded

VICTORY!!!!!!!!! { down=device_commands.LIGHTS_PositionWings, up=device_commands.LIGHTS_PositionWings, cockpit_device_id=devices.COCKPITMECHANICS, value_down=1.0, value_up=0.0, name=_('Lights Position Wing BRT, else Off'), category=_('Lights')}, that sets it as on else off!!!! YES!! haha

you could do that, a switch for on and a switch for off, or you could do on else off. that way a single switch would toggle it on or off. same for anti collision light, theres a video that goes into it but i dont understand it well enough yet, he uses the huey specifically at the end

i cant see it in there, id like to default off the pilot body too

im sure you can add controls including axis but i dont know how, id love to do it though

i take it that only works with virpil hardware? i have a mixture of virpil, tm and homebrew button boxes and i want to do what youve done, ie on/off/on toggle switch to do all 3 functions

no i couldnt understand what that was, a mod manager?

pretty please with knobs on can we get 3 way controls with an else off option added please. example wing position lights currently have 3 seperate commands bright/dim/off all seperate. can we get bright elso off and dim else off please. iv spent 2 days trying to do it with no joy so far its wing position lights, tail position lights same for red and white flood lights iv done it myself haha, im so chuffed with myself lol wing and tail lights bright and dim all work so do red and white flood dim and bright. they all are now on else off!

i thought there was a thread like that but i couldnt find it, thanks

elements["PNT_913_22"] = default_3_position_tumb(_("Position Lights Wing"), devices.COCKPITMECHANICS, device_commands.LIGHTS_PositionWings, cockpit_args.LIGHTS_PositionWings, false, true, pilot_only) all i can find in the cliackabledate lua is that for wing position lights, wtf does true, false, pilot only mean lol is that bright/dim/off??

currently trying with this

hi im trying to add custom commands directly into the dcs default lua (i dont mind addind it back in every update) what im struggling with is how to add on else off into the control. (its for wing and tail position lights on the f14) i added , else off, into the line and thats what it shows in controls ingame but when i bind it it just behaves as normal so does switch off when i release the switch, iv tried addind down =1 up = 0 aswell and no joy, what do i actually need to do?

trying to follow that now, struggling though lol, it sounds exactly what i want though. iv tried adding else off to the control line and it does SHOW in the controls but binding it doesnt work

is there any way to add extra keybinds eg wing/tail position lights bright/dim/off, thats 3 seperate binds, some controls have on else off setting, can that control line be altered to do that here? ie tail pos light bright else off, tail pos light dim else off. this would allow a 2 pos + off switch to bind it. i use that for other stuff.

the tacan is an arse to read for me, fuel gaugfe is ok but i cant check it while im actually refuelling. icls channel can be tricky to see which 1 its actually on but apart from that everythings ok, for speed i tend to just glance at the angle of the needle anyway rather than reading the numbers

iv seen 30 miles mentioned but take that with a big pinch of salt as im not 100%

1 anecdote from a pilot that blew my mind (to the point im skeptical about its accuracy) was he got a solid track on a big target (tanker maybe i cant remember now) from something ridiculous like 180 miles away! using said irst

thats pretty much how i look at it

i was today years old when i realised 9-6 are a different size to 7-8 lol

you can flare, its slightly tricky if youre not used to it or more used to the fbw because she has sooooooo much lift she tends to just fly away if youre not careful lol

if half the stries from flight crew are half true and plenty of them actually did number 2 to some extent irl, me personally im british so im a sneaky bugger looking for ways to make things work but i dont flat out cheat. example being i had to find a strike group without knowing where they were coming from. i figured theyd be on a boat so cycled through the standard tacan freqs, boom there they are (where theyre coming from any way) i know if you fire the c in stt its fox 1 all the way and will go duymb if you snip it. is the same true for the c or will it wake up if the awg9 loses the track? agreed, i try to milsim (or mostly) and every single flight has errors in it!

well thats gonna bugger my muscle memory right up haha

i havnt read every post on 45 pages no

iv heard several pilots mention 54 was near hypersonic, anybody got anywhere near that in game?
