Buttons and knobs inverted

[Redglyph]

DCS 1.5.4.57288.170

 

Some 3-way buttons and knobs have their left- and right-click inverted, which makes it very confusing.

 

This is the reference, to avoid such confusion :)

 

I haven't checked them all, but here are a few ones:

 

RV:

 

SOD wave selector (right-click should be up, left-click should be down, here it's the opposite)

Radar off/prep/on (same)

Low altitude off/comp/on (same)

SOD modes (should rotate clockwise with right-click, here it's the opposite)

 

CU:

 

Weapon selector

 

CL:

 

C69, dangerous altitude warning set

 

 

...

 

Actually I think most of them are reversed :huh:

 

 

Hope you can fix this, there is a similar problem in the A-10C and it's always a nightmare not to click buttons in the wrong direction. That's why they set a standard (linked above) to avoid that problem.

 

Thanks! :)

bump :)

Alrighty, now that I fixed the A-10C I could fix this one, would anyone be interested by such a fix, so that all switches behave the same as other aircraft?

Here is the fix, you can download it from the user files.

 

Much better now, a right-click moves switches up, and knobs clockwise as expected. The few controls which were already correct were left untouched of course ;)

 

It does not fix

- the "Marker Far/Near" broken switch (it's possible to switch it, but the animation is wrong and you have to guess where the switch actually is),

- the broken red flood light knob which turns the wrong way (and doesn't produce light in 2.0.x)

- the navigation lights, since some people may actually prefer it like it is now

 

 

- 1.5.6.3690 and 2.0.5.3889 fixed the red flood light knob, that's the only difference with the previous versions.

- 1.5.6.4818 changed the localization and did some clean-up of the file.

Thank you.

[Redglyph]

You're welcome :D

 

Let me know if you find anything I would have forgotten.

Thank you!

 

Is it compatible with Integrity Check?

It is! Super!

Updated for DCS1.5.6.3690 and DCS2.0.5.3889 (and later versions).

 

The direction of the flood light knobs was fixed by Magnitude 3 LLC, hence the new file.

 

Enjoy :)

And another update:

 

- 1.5.6.4818 changed the localization and did some clean-up of the file.

[Redglyph]

They changed everything again in 2.1...

 

I'm not sure I'll maintain this fix anymore, if they don't want to integrate it at some point.

 

EDIT: apparently the file reverted to what it was in 1.5.6, without the LOCALIZE (weird). So using the latest 1.5.6 fix in 2.1 should work.
