Input profiles problems

[hsth]

Hi,

 

Since the implementation of the diff.lua I've had some problems.

 

1. Unit.lua

This file in Saved Games keeps the name of the control profile that is loaded when DCS is loaded. But it will only work with "A-10C", "P-51D" or "TF-51D". Anything else will start with the "General" profile. It is annoying because because I mosty fly the SU-25. I now have to go back into Controls to make sure what profile is loaded each time I come out of a mission or start DCS.

 

2. Joystick & throttle.

I'll give an example of the Electric Power Switch, I have this switch attached to switch 20 on the throttle for my SU-25 profile.

Before I could change the line in the lua file:

{down = iCommandPowerOnOff, up = iCommandPowerOnOff, name = 'Electric Power Switch', category = 'Systems'},

.

That made the switch work as it should, push it forward and the electric power is on, push it back and the power is off.

Now I have to do this in two different files (depending on the specific switch) that are in the DCS programm directory, default.lua (specific for SU-25) and base_joystick_binding.lua (for all).

This also leads to two entries in the screen for the SU-25 controls for each switch that has been changed.

I do not see a solution in the diff.lua file as that is recreated each time you go into the Controls screen.
