DX and Lua

[Menessis]

Since I still use my old Cougar to fly DCS I have been slowly changing over to DX. This way I don't have to load a profile to fly a different AC.

 

So one problem I am having is trying to use the DogFight switch as my Boat Switch. DCS A-10c has:

Boat Switch Forward

Boat Switch Center

Boat Switch Aft

 

So I need to learn how to mod the lua files so that when the switch is returned to the center position it cancels the Forward or Aft. The center position doesn't generate a key press.

 

Thanks for any help.

What about using the /P/R modifiers instead?

 

Like in:

BTN T8 /P Boat_Switch_Forward /R Boat_Switch_Center

BTN T7 /P Boat_Switch_Aft /R Boat_Switch_Center

I know this is for Thrustmaster, but the concept is similar. Take a look at

It's one script for the throttle (since joystick buttons don't have state). It loves the boat switch problem nicely - and you can use one script for all aircraft.

I already have a working Foxy profile. I want to switch over to DX to simplify things.

 

I have read a lot of threads. But the problem is things change from version to version so much it's hard to figure it out. I'm not even sure what lua files are the ones I should be looking at, at this point.

So can someone point me in the right direction?
