Cycle selected store?

[CrashO]

It would be nice if they could make a 3 position switch abstraction with:

 

- Magic select else PCA select

- AA gun select else PCA select

 

Just stick this in your joystick lua:

 

{pressed = iCommandPlaneModeCannon, up = iCommandPlaneModeGrid, name = _('Priority A/A GUNS else PCA SELECT'), category = _('3-Pos. Switch Abstractions')},
{pressed = iCommandPlaneModeFI0, up = iCommandPlaneModeGrid, name = _('Priority MAGIC else PCA SELECT'), category = _('3-Pos. Switch Abstractions')},

Just stick this in your joystick lua:

 

{pressed = iCommandPlaneModeCannon, up = iCommandPlaneModeGrid, name = _('Priority A/A GUNS else PCA SELECT'), category = _('3-Pos. Switch Abstractions')},
{pressed = iCommandPlaneModeFI0, up = iCommandPlaneModeGrid, name = _('Priority MAGIC else PCA SELECT'), category = _('3-Pos. Switch Abstractions')},

 

Thank you, that also works. Would still be nice seeing it implemented officially though.

In which file did you add these lines exactly ?

I try to add the lines in this lua file, under the 3 position switch abstraction section of the file :

B:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World 2 OpenAlpha\Mods\aircraft\M-2000C\Input\M-2000C\joystick

 

But it only completely erase the 3 position switch abstraction option in the game so I guess it's either not the proper file or not the proper place in the file to copy the line.

[Gliptal]

That's the correct file. Make sure you aren't missing the commas at the end of the lines.

[bushido]

I check again, it doesn't work, I don't have the 3 position abstraction anymore in the drop down list in the game.

 

In which section of the file did you copy the line ? in the 3 position switch abastraction ? at the begining of the section ? at the end ? in another section ?

[Gliptal]

Try my file.

default.lua

[bushido]

Thanks for your help Gliptal.

 

That's weird when I use your file it works but when I copy paste the added line (the one inside your file just to be 100% sure) it doesn't, I have no more the option in the drop down menu of the game and the boat switch did not work.

 

So I support the idea of having this option native, Zeus if it can be part of a future update I'll appreciate.

[bushido]

A little bump on this one, is it possible to have the 3 position switch abstraction native for this function ?

Would be helpfull.

what do you use to edit the file ? Microsft notepad ?

Probably better using Notepad++ or similar that will maintain the line endings.

[bushido]

Yes i use notepad to édit the lua file. The one that came with windows 7.

[myHelljumper]

Yeah download notepad++, standard notepad break the BOM and makes the files not readable by DCS.

[bushido]

Try it with notepad++ and tadam ! It works.

Thanks a lot for your support.
