T1-TV fix trigger not working correctly

[howie87]

Works fine in 3 position switch mode but not when mapped as a two stage trigger. It gets stuck in the first detent mode (T1) when releasing the trigger.

[razo+r]

that's why you also have to map the T0 button/detent

[howie87]

You can't map the T0 mode with a two position trigger. The T1 state should only be active when the trigger is depressed and then go back to the T0 state when it's released.

 

In other words it should act as a momentary switch, like PAC1 does in the A-10C.

Yeah, this'd be nice to resolve somehow. :)

As a temporary fix, you can add the following line to your "DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\aircraft\AJS37\Input\joystick\default.lua":

 

{down = 3006, up = 3005, cockpit_device_id = devices.NAVIGATIONPANEL, value_down = 1.0, value_up = 1.0, name = "T1 Fix (Hold)", category = "Radar"},

 

and then map the new command "T1 Fix (Hold)". I've used this for the first detent of my Warthog Trigger and it works fine there.

Great job, Phobon. I actually used TARGET to assign a DX button on MapKeyR for TG1, but your way works with any 2-stage trigger. This really needs to be officially implemented.

[Dahlbeck]

So how do people do this, all you who've been running the preview, anyone?

[QuiGon]

It really misses a "T1 Fix (Three Position Switch)" entry in the configs. I guess it will come with one of the next updates. For now I mapped T1 (the normal one, not the three position switch one) to the first detent, TV to the second detent and T0 to another button that I can press if I initiated a fix with T1, but then want to abort the process.

Confirmed here too! I thought it was something I was doing wrong.

Thanks for this Phobon, where do I enter it in the file? Do I have to delete any existing lines etc?

I've tried a couple of options that both left me unable to edit the mappings in game?

Sorry, I'm not at home right now so I can't show you my working file. But your version should contain a large list of similar looking lines. Just drop it somewhere in there :)

If you did that and still have problems, your editor might have messed something up while you were editing it. In that case, I recommend repairing DCS to get the original file back and then try again with Notepad or even better Notepad++

 

I will post my complete file in a few hours when I'm back at my computer.

Ok thanks Phobon, I'll give it a go using Notepad ++

[hughesj2]

Yeah it was the fact I hadn't used Notepad ++, worked fine after I dropped it in the Radar section

Cheers!

This worked great, thank you for sharing it. :thumbup:

 

Cobra, any chance you can implement this with phobon's permission of course (or something similar) as standard code for us Warthog users please?

Phobon's fix should work for an X52 two-stage trigger, shouldn't it?

Sure does for me ;)

Had to put it back in place after this Friday's update.
