Just an update, that I inserted the binding entries for the canopy into the Mods .lua file, and it worked perfectly. Thanks again for your help! Now that I’ve got it working, it’s time to create a spreadsheet, so that I can keep track of changes that are made. I’m certainly anticipating that updates to DCS will tend to rebuild those files, effectively removing any custom additions/changes. take care.

Hello,, while I cannot help you with a solution to your G13 question, I do find it very interesting. I have a G13, and it didn’t come to mind as a possible hardware solution for new keybinds. Do you use it for any keybinds in your current setup? At worse, this reply may bump your question up to the top of the topic list ! Mike

Hello again,, Thank You for the detailed reply. It certainly makes it easier, and I kind of feel better that it wasn’t a simple solution. I was starting to question myself as to why I couldn’t grasp the solution. But one thing I noticed is that you recommend putting the commands directly into the Mods structure, rather than into the <user>/saved games folder structure. Is there any special reason for that? And finally, kind of off-topic, but a Lua question… I’ve noticed that some commands use a name section with name =_(‘xxxx’), while others I’ve seen do not use the underscore _ Could you possibly explain? Thank You again for the help… you’ve been extremely helpful !! Much appreciated !! Mike

@LeCuvier Thanks for the response. I guess I didn’t make my intention clear in my post. if I wanted to simply do a setup for a keyboard binding, to get the canopy operation to function via the normal LCTRL+C, I would need to set up for 2 commands? One for the OPEN/HOLD 3007, & one for the CLOSE 3006? I just don’t see which 2 entries I would use in that scenario. Or was your suggested 5 line command strictly for a joystick solution Thanks Again, Mike

Sorry, but a bit confused on this. On the A-10C, I'm not exactly sure which type switch it utilizes. I believe it is a 3-positions switch. If that is correct, then... ===== For use with a 3-position switch, bind the commands "Canopy OPEN/HOLD" and "Canopy CLOSE/HOLD" === Would that mean I would only need to include 2 of the command lines, i.e. 1 for the OPEN/HOLD, and another for CLOSE/HOLD? I'm still rather new at this; I've reviewed the control bindings pdf document, but trying to get my arms around it. Thanks for your help...much appreciated. Mike

Hello,, Is it just me, or is there an issue when trying to close the A-10C canopy with the keybind LCTRL + C. Anyone else seeing this? Closing still works with the in-cockpit switch; I've dbl-checked my keybind in controls, and all is good there. If it's just me, does anyone have any ideas as to what might be the issue? Thanks, Mike
