Zeke Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 I've tried a number of things to get my on/off toggle switch to act like a two way switch for the 'Rocket Jettison Switch" in F86F. I was able to change a few other with no problems but this key is giving me fits. After reading a ton of stuff on these forums yesterday and trying to edit the Save games diff file too, I was hoping someone may have a solution or idea I could use. This is the command from the default Lua file I'm trying to change: down = device_commands.Button_30, cockpit_device_id = devices.WEAPON_SYSTEM, value_down = 1, name = _('Rocket Jettison Switch'), category = _('Center Pedestal')}, Here is one thing I've tried: {down = device_commands.Button_30, up = device_commands.Button_30 cockpit_device_id = devices.WEAPON_SYSTEM, value_down = 1, value_up = 0 name = _('Alt Rocket Jettison Switch'), category = _('Center Pedestal')}, Whenever I've edited this button in the default Lua all my button commands disappear. I do have a number of other buttons added/changed with no problems. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurius Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Hi Zeke, You might be interested in trying this (unless you've seen it and tried it before) : http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=124480 I was used to modify the default.lua for the switches in the A-10C, but since version 1.2.11 or 1.2.12 (I don't remember which one), it was no longer possible. Karls' mod saved my life.

Zeke Posted April 4, 2015 Author Share Posted April 4, 2015 Hi Laurius, Thanks, although I downloaded his Data mod lua file I didn't look at his example to hard since I was studying from a different post on how to edit that file. Whatever I tried didn't work. Well, I just saw my mistake after reading that post again and viola I can edit that file and it works just fine. :) Still wish I new why my other buttons work in the default file but not that rocket switch. Thanks for your help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurius Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Zeke, you're welcome ! when things started to change with this default.lua, I had some switches working fine but not all of them when editing this file, mainly the 3-positions switches. But most of the 2-positions switches were working fine. Then, at some point none of them were working anymore. That's why I came to this mod and now everything is working sweet. So, if I understood well, this particular switch you mentioned is now working ? If so, that's great ! I couldn't figure out either why some switches were working and some other not while editing the default.lua file. Still a mystery. Now, I don't bother anymore with this default.lua and everything is fine since I use that mod. I'm glad if I could've been of any little help to you.

Zeke Posted April 4, 2015 Author Share Posted April 4, 2015 Yes, it's working now! The holy grail will be a mod/program that let's us easily program our panels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
