The option to assign hold or toggle to a Key command

[flashben]

Using 1.5 open beta I love the search option in the controls tab, but what I'd love to see even more is to give some actions/keybinds the option to hold, toggle or keep default as to how the designer wants it.

This way you wouldn't have to bind unnecessary key commands like Radar off or EAC disconnect for example(you could keep it for people who have a dedicated simpit with custom switches though and this isn't really a problem for Saitek X55 users since that throttle only uses momentary 2 way toggle switches).

 

When you add a key command to an action in the "add assign panel" there could be another drop down menu from where you can choose the 2 options.

 

Why I'd love to see this?

Im using the Warthog throttle quadrant that has toggle switches, some of these switches are only toggle on or off(which for the Warthog; switched to off does nothing). This can be awkward with commands like:

 

-the Engine master switch in the F86 Sabre.

In the Sabre cockpit it is an on/off toggle switch and I binded it to the APU START toggle switch on the Warthog throttle quadrant. to set the Engine master switch to off iI'd have to toggle it Twice on the warthog.

 

-Or the ASC direct control keybind in the Su 27.

While this toggles to on or off in the virtual cockpit I would have to toggle it twice to on with the APU start switch to switch back to the FBW again.

 

 

 

Sure I can bind these keys to 2 way toggle switches or push buttons, but I'd like to use those switches/for other binds.

 

The A-10C default profile for the Warthog throttle quadrant has key commands like these assigned hold by default(but unfortunately not changeable)

And I would love to see the option for the other modules.

+1 for this. Editing lua files for each module gets a bit tedious after a while.
