Custom key-bindings

[Zabuzard]

So I thought it might be useful for LNS and us to collect our custom key-bindings. Here are mine:

 

There was no joystick assignment, just keyboard:

{down = 3011, value_down = 1.0, cockpit_device_id = devices.TESTRADIO2, name = 'FR22 Push-to-talk', category = 'Radios'},
{down = 3011, value_down = 1.0, cockpit_device_id = devices.TESTRADIO, name = 'FR24 Push-to-talk', category = 'Radios'},
{down = iCommandPlaneEject, name='Eject (3 times)', category = 'Flight Control'},
{down = 3302, cockpit_device_id = devices.WEAPON_SYSTEM, value_down =   1.0, name = "Weapon jettison Cover", category = "Weapons"},
{down = 3303, cockpit_device_id = devices.WEAPON_SYSTEM, value_down =   1.0, name = "Weapon jettison Button", category = "Weapons"},
{down = 3402, cockpit_device_id = devices.WEAPON_SYSTEM, value_down =   1.0, name = "Fuel tank jettison Cover", category = "Weapons"},
{down = 3320, cockpit_device_id = devices.WEAPON_SYSTEM, value_down =   1.0, name = "Fuel tank jettison Button", category =  "Weapons"},
{down = 3001, cockpit_device_id = devices.ERRORPANEL, value_down = 1.0,    name = 'Master caution reset', category = 'Caution panel'},

T1 Fix (Hold) for HOTAS 2-stage Trigger:

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

Commands for 2-stage switches:

{down = 3304, up = 3304, cockpit_device_id = devices.ENGINEPANEL,   value_down = 1.0, value_up = 0.0, name = 'Autothrottle mode AFK  (2-switch)', category = 'Autopilot'},
{down = 3301, up = 3301, cockpit_device_id = devices.FLIGHTDATAUNIT,   value_down = 1.0, value_up = 0.0, name = 'SAS mode SPAK flight   stabiliser (2-switch)', category = 'Autopilot'},
{down = 3001, up = 3001, cockpit_device_id = 7, value_down = 1.0,   value_up = 0.0, name = 'Reversal (2-switch)', category = 'Flight   Control'},

As you might know, they go into:

DCS\Mods\aircraft\AJS37\Input\joystick\default.lua

 

after that they are assignable through the regular interface of DCS.

So I thought it might be useful for LNS and us to collect our custom key-bindings.

Good idea :idea: Mine are gathered in this thread.

Are you able to show me how I use these? I haven't a clue what I'm doing with them.

[cichlidfan]

You paste the code into the file specified in the OP.

 

DCS\Mods\aircraft\AJS37\Input\joystick\default.lua

 

It will enable you to assign joystick, or other controller, buttons to those functions.

[Zabuzard]

That's basically the file which specifies which stuff is assignable in the DCS option menu.

 

You can add it with, for example, notepad++ and add your own entries. Then you will be able to assign buttons to them and if you click them, they will execute the stuff you have defined in that file.

How do I assign the weapon safety button on my joystick,

"Trigger safety bracket ARM" & "Trigger safety bracket SAFE" ,

to a 1 toggle button (on/off)? is it possible?

/thanx

Uff, a toggle switch can't be done with those key-binding files alone, as long as they don't create such a key.

You would need something like T.A.R.G.E.T or other software which is capable of saving variables to remember the current state (on/off). Or you could use joystick or hotkey software which internally presses an unused key like '8' on the first press and on the second press '9'. Then you would only need to map those two keys in DCS itself.

It's completely possible if he's talking about a toggle switch that holds an input when left on. It's basically how mine is set up, but for the first detent of my trigger. I can't remember if it was a default binding or one I made.
