WARTHOG TOGGLE SWITCHES Ahhrrr

[Flying Spanner]

Just setting up my new Warthog for the Huey and after much head scratching and searching of these threads, I've finally found how to simply turn my Huey de-ice on using a toggle switch with the TARGET interface without having to fiddle with my LUA file which seems to change with each release of DCS anyway (and I just wan't to get and fly the thing without screwing anything up)

 

So take the ERNORM toggle as an example: I have my layers set so I selected D for this low priority function then in the boxes; and on PRESS

 

Event Name: De-Ice ON

 

Key Command using virtual KB: i

 

Type: Pulse

 

Delay: Default

 

Then press ADD EVENT to save the event.

Then press ADD EVENT again

 

Event Name: De-Ice OFF

 

Key Command VKB: i

 

Type: Pulse

 

Delay; Default

 

SELECT THE SEQUENCE BOX

Then press ADD EVENT

Make sure you also have De-Ice OFF set on EROVER

Sweeeeeeeeeeeeet at flikin last.

Hope this helps someone out.

 

NB I did the same with the main fuel cock but had to set the Type to HOLD

just play around with it, it worked for me and very happy now.

In case it's of any assistance, a while back I wrote a comprehensive how-to for TARGET.

 

Maybe you'd find it usefull as well, or others perhaps :)

Thanks for your overview, however even from this it does not help me if I wanted to know what to do IF the toggle switch is not moving as required in the DCS Huey sim.

The manual is lacking in this respect, it says the toggle will be different and thats it, no real examples for the toggle which is why I think this other thread is so long.

All the best for the heads up.

 

Also I have four MFD thrustmaster units, two of which I plan to use with monitors like in your recent LCD mod. Thanks for that thread, good photos too.
