2/3-Position Switches

Nero.ger · November 29, 2017

since they are missing atm i started to add some 2 and 3 way switches to the input.lua.

So far

Flaps,MasterArm and Gear.

edit:

+WaterInjection

+airbreakON else Off

+anti-skid/NWS

{down=fcs_commands.Switch_FLAP_SELECT,up=fcs_commands.Switch_FLAP_SELECT,cockpit_device_id=devices.VREST,value_down=1.0,value_up=0.5,name='flaps cruse else auto',category='shortcuts'},
{down=fcs_commands.Switch_FLAP_SELECT,up=fcs_commands.Switch_FLAP_SELECT,cockpit_device_id=devices.VREST,value_down=0.0,value_up=0.5,name='flaps vstol else auto',category='shortcuts'},
{down = iCommandPlaneGearUp,up = iCommandPlaneGearDown,   name = _('Landing Gear UP else DOWN'),     category = _('shortcuts')},
{down=smc_commands.Switch_Master_Arm,up=smc_commands.Switch_Master_Arm,cockpit_device_id=devices.SMC,value_down=1.0,value_up=0.0,name='MasterArm ON else OFF',category='shortcuts'},
{down=engine_commands.Switch_H20,up=engine_commands.Switch_H20,cockpit_device_id=devices.DECS,value_down=1.0,value_up=0.5,name='Water TO else OFF',category='shortcuts'},
{down=engine_commands.Switch_H20,up=engine_commands.Switch_H20,cockpit_device_id=devices.DECS,value_down=0.0,value_up=0.5,name='Water LN else OFF',category='shortcuts'},
{down = iCommandPlaneAirBrakeOn,up = iCommandPlaneAirBrakeOff	,			name = _('Airbrake ON else OFF'),			category = _('shortcuts')},
{down = fcs_commands.Switch_ANTISKID, up = fcs_commands.Switch_ANTISKID,cockpit_device_id=devices.FLIGHTCONTROLS,value_down=0.0,value_up=0.5,name='Anti-Skid',category='shortcuts'},

add the above directly behind the

(res.keyCommands,{

part in your input.lua

restart DCS

if you did it right there is a new category called "shortcuts" were you can bind them

Was gonna post asking about 3 way switches. Thanks for the code. Very helpful.

Chain · November 29, 2017

I wish these would be available in DCS modules by default. That would help us pit builders a lot. Now we have to add these for each module and sometimes after a patch you have to redo everything again. Just a thought :)

I agree, it's ultimately the responsibility of each module developer to add them to be warthog/switchbox/etc. friendly.

Zeus67 · November 29, 2017

hmm. There is a flaps switch up and a flaps switch down key bind.

Check VSTOL Controls

* Flaps Mode Up (STOL - AUTO - CRUISE)

* Flaps Mode Down (CRUISE - AUTO - STOL)

* Flaps Power Left (OFF - ON - RESET)

* Flaps Power Right (RESET - ON - OFF)

* Water Mode Up (LDG - OFF - TO)'

* Water Mode Down (TO - OFF - LDG)

yes but they dont go back to the middle ones you release the switch, so if you want to use toggleswitches that stay, it doesnt work

Okay. I did not know that. I guess I'll have to purchase a warthog HOTAS as well.

Zeus67 · November 29, 2017

When you are finished getting all the abstractions you need, I will include them in the default.lua

Nero.ger · November 29, 2017

you can buy a joystick board for 10 bucks on amazon and some cheap toggleswitches, thats what i did :)

Consider it a worthwhile investment!

Panthir · November 30, 2017

Cool

splash · November 30, 2017

I'd like to have a flaps toggle button, so i could use just a button to enable/disable flaps.

Galwran · November 30, 2017

Excellent!

Always is a pain that those nice switches dont work besides in the A10C. This would be great for all modules in DCS.

Thanks alot guys!

YES!!!

i think that is outside of what i can do with the input.lua

I would suggest to do use the Generic Mod Enabler for this and a bit of WinMerge.

With this Software you can just update your files automaticly again.

In most cases without any hand made modifications.

I would also like to see individual positions for INS and similar rotary switches. We simpit builders use real rotary switches and each position selects a different knob position in DCS. Good example is the F-5E radar range and INS knobs. These two knobs have all the different states available in controls menu. In Harrier we currently only have INS left and right. That means if I want to select third position to the right I have to turn my rotary switch to right, left, right, left, right. That is not fun :D

Let me know if you need more info. These small changes would make this module amazing for us pit builders :thumbup:

Thanks anyway. I thought in something like Airbrake TOGGLE "B" to save a position in one of my hats.

Chain · November 30, 2017

Thanks! I'll give these a go. These are a good temporary fix!

I also made some more for the two/three position switches and some of the light knobs. Some duplicates with OP and they're all in a category called Toggle Switches.

All tested and working, hopefully the copypaste didn't break anything.

Hi,

A little help please, where is .lua located and what is the file name?

Thanks

Can you add 3 way for air break like A10C?
