Flap setting Hotas

These things are much easier to do in target script than in the game lua and it doesn't disappear every time you update.

Just saying.

Good explanation Gospadin.

As for using target, some do, I don't. I find it much easier to bind in game for everything. And using JGSME is super easy too, just haven't bothered with 1.5 yet.

This work for Mig-21, creating flaps up, take-off (middle) and landing positions.

-Alternate flaps
{down = device_commands.Button_1, up = device_commands.Button_2, cockpit_device_id  = devices.CONTROL_SYSTEM, value_down = 1.0, value_up = 1.0, name = _('Alternate Flaps Up middle'), category = _('Flight Control')},
{down = device_commands.Button_3, up = device_commands.Button_2, cockpit_device_id  = devices.CONTROL_SYSTEM, value_down = 1.0, value_up = 1.0, name = _('Alternate Flaps Landing middle'), category = _('Flight Control')},

Here's a modded default.lua that contains new settings for both 3 position flaps for the Warthog HOTAS and for stepping over the gate when starting the engines, from STOP to IDLE.

 

Place it in /DCS World OpenBeta/Mods/aircraft/L-39C/input/L-39C/joystick.

 

Recommend backing up the default.lua first

 

cheers

Hi,

This doesn't seem to work any more since the latest patch of a couple of days ago. I copied your default.lua into the correct folder, and the alternate flap commands appear, but you can now only assign a keyboard command or rudder button to it, the other options are greyed out. In particular I would like to assign those to my warthog throttle, but I cannot select it. Worked perfectly until the latest patch. Help!

Thanks gospadin! Didn't see that bug report!

This thread has been extremely helpful.

Though, the ALTERNATE FLAPS code does not work with my Warthog throttle when I paste it in the default.lua file in the L39C joystick subdirectory. However, it works like a charm when I paste it in the Throttle - HOTAS Warthog.lua.
