Mig-21 3 Stage Flap Key Binding with TM Warthog

[Jinef]

Dear ED Forum,

 

I have just spent 4 hours attempting to get my Mig-21 Flaps work as they should with my 3 position switch on my TM Warthog throttle.

 

There is lots of info out there however it still required me to edit the LUA files and do lots of trial and error.

 

So in the hope of making it a shorter and less brain melting event for the next user I paste my findings below.

 

Navigate the default.lua found somewhere around here:

 

C:\DCS World\Mods\aircraft\MiG-21BIS\Input\MiG-21\joystick

 

Open with text editor. Look for flaps.

 

Add 2 lines

 

{combos = {{key = 'JOY_BTN22'}}, cockpit_device_id = devices.FLAPS, down = device_commands.Flaps0, value_down = 1.0, up = device_commands.Flaps25, value_up = 1.0, name = _('Flaps Up Toggle'), category = _('Flight Control')},

{combos = {{key = 'JOY_BTN23'}}, cockpit_device_id = devices.FLAPS, down = device_commands.Flaps45, value_down = 1.0, up = device_commands.Flaps25, value_up = 1.0, name = _('Flaps Down Toggle'), category = _('Flight Control')},

 

Kind Regards, Jay

I have it set without any LUA editing. It can be done using just press and release functions in TARGET.

 

select control----assign parameters====select event

 

FLAPU----L_SHIFT f (press)====flaps up

FLAPU----f (release)====flaps take-off

 

FLAPD----f (press)====flaps down

FLAPD----L_SHIFT f (release)====flaps take-off

 

 

I hope it helps! ;)

Very well done Jinef! Thanks for sharing! I will try this out as soon as possible. I avoid using TARGET so this was exactly what I was searching for.
