JLX Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Can we please get these into the next available update? They're actually quite important! This mod is a life saver, but it gets old having to replace the files every update. Especially now when it looks like there are tons of updates coming. Keep up the good work! Thanks. Agreed. Having a complete and varied/flexible set of keybinds (e.g. ON/OFF and TOGGLE options) is really important. Please consider the keybinds as important as the system itself - not an afterthought. It's understandable that certain systems are incomplete while in early access. However as they are implemented, please add a complete set of keybinds at the same time if at all possible. I've been wanted to spend more time in the Harrier but it's just a little too frustrating and fiddly with the weapons in their current state and lacking a few needed/useful keybinds. I'm VERY eager to see things get completed and polished up as I'm LOVING the Harrier! It's my new favourite and even the inevitable excitement over the Hornet won't be able to take the shine off this bird :-) 3570K w/ 16GB, 1070 w/ 8GB @ 1440p, VKB Gunfighter/MCG-Pro & T-Rudder Mk.IV, CH ProThrottle, TrackIR 5, HTC Vive, UniversRadio, VoiceAttack, TacView Pro, DCS Menu Nav F/A-18C, F-5E, F-86F, A-10C, AV-8B, AJS-37, MiG-21bis, MiG-15bis, UH-1H, Mi-8MTV2, Ka-50, SA342, P-51D, Spitfire Mk.IX, Bf109, Fw190, FC3, CA, Persian Gulf, NTTR, Normandy, WW2 Assets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mode1961 Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 Is there a way to program the various knobs so that when you hold down a key, they increase or decrease over time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeCuvier Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 Well, although your recommendation worked successfully in the past, after the 2.5.1 update it doesn't work. Any idea? In 2.5.1 a new cockpit_device_id has been inserted after 24. So all device ID's after 24 have been incremented by 1. Therefore in 2.5.1 you have to use the cockpit_device_id 30 instead of 29.

LeCuvier Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 I guess you mean the jammer button. For use with a single maintained ON/OFF switch, this will work in 2.5.1: {down = 3275, up = 3275, cockpit_device_id = 30, value_down = 1, value_up = .75, name = _('Jammer RPT/RCV'), category = _('ECM')}, For use with two pushbuttons or an up/down toggle, this will work in 2.5.1: {down = 3275, cockpit_device_id = 30, value_down = 1, name = _('Jammer RPT'), category = _('ECM')}, {down = 3275, cockpit_device_id = 30, value_down = .75, name = _('Jammer RCV'), category = _('ECM')}, Deezle's code was broken because in 2.5.1 the device ID' above 24 have been changed (have to add one to all codes >24) LeCuvier Windows 10 Pro 64Bit | i7-4790 CPU |16 GB RAM|SSD System Disk|SSD Gaming Disk| MSI GTX-1080 Gaming 8 GB| Acer XB270HU | TM Warthog HOTAS | VKB Gladiator Pro | MongoosT-50 | MFG Crosswind Pedals | TrackIR 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeCuvier Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Were these ever officially integrated?? Its a bit of a pain to have to copy them every time an update happens. In my experience with planes released earlier, the user-developed additions o "default.lua" are rarely integrated. But AV-8B is not yet released, so I have some hope that more command options will be added by RAZBAM. Currently we even miss the "hooks" for making additions so there is not much we can do. On your other remark, there is no need to copy the modofied files after each update. Like many other folks, I use OvGME (by Sedenion) to manage them. Simply back them out before you allow the update to happen, and then enable them again.

Home Fries Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Has there been any updates on incorporating some of these iCommands? In particular, I'm looking for one that will allow me to switch the UFC comm presets (preferably using the MFD rocker switches). However, Funkyfranky's code: {action = ufc_commands.Knob_Comm1_Chnl, cockpit_device_id = devices.UFCCONTROL, name = _('Comm 1 Channel Selector'), category = _('Up Front Control')}, {action = ufc_commands.Knob_Comm2_Chnl, cockpit_device_id = devices.UFCCONTROL, name = _('Comm 2 Channel Selector'), category = _('Up Front Control')}, doesn't appear to work anymore, and I can't seem to find a comparable command. Finally, has anyone figured out a way to make {down = iCommandPlaneLGPTaxiLight,name = _('Auxiliary (Taxi) Light Toggle'),category = _('Exterior Lights')}, a discrete command or switch on/else off command?

LeCuvier Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 This line of code provides switching of the Auxiliary Taxi Light via a maintained ON/OFF switch: {down = 3513, up = 3513, cockpit_device_id = devices.LTEXT, value_down = 1, value_up = -1, name = _('Auxiliary Taxi Light 2-Pos ON/OFF'), category = _('Exterior Lights')},I'll have a look at the UFC commands later.

LeCuvier Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Franky's code "action = ..." suggests that these are axis commands. I tried this and bound it to a slider. With the slider I could actually change channels but in a rather haphazard way, even with Y-saturation reduced to 2%. So this is not viable. I tried to use the knobs defined in clickabledata.lua but they use a function that does not seem to lend itself to incremental change, so the rotary encoder did not work either. I'm afraid we'll have to wait for RAZBAM to provide a control binding that works with a rotary encoder or a pair of pushbuttons or an up/down toggle, like in the F/A-18C. In my view, this is a big gap in the implementation.

With the slider I could actually change channels but in a rather haphazard way, even with Y-saturation reduced to 2%. So this is not viable. Yes, exactly. It's been some time, but as far as I remember, it was a desperate attempt to get something working with these knobs since they are important. But it never worked because the axes are not suitable for this. I'd also like to see CW/CCW buttons like ED did it in the hornet.

Baldawg Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 i tried writing the exact code mentioned above for the UFC before i found this thread and wasnt able to get it to work. It appears that the clickable_data.lua code doesnt give a value needed to tell the button to move CW or CCW with a 1 or 0. elements["PTN_300"] = default_button_lever_cycled(_("Comm 1 Channel Selector"), devices.UFCCONTROL, ufc_commands.Button_Comm1, ufc_commands.Knob_Comm1_Chnl, 178, 300) elements["PTN_301"] = default_button_lever_cycled(_("Comm 2 Channel Selector"), devices.UFCCONTROL, ufc_commands.Button_Comm2, ufc_commands.Knob_Comm2_Chnl, 179, 301) i comparable code would be the brightness knob elements["PTN_295"] = default_axis_limited(_("Display Brightness Control"), devices.UFCCONTROL, ufc_commands.Knob_BRT, 295, 0, 0.1, true, 0, {0, 1}) the above code for the Brightness Knob shows value statements at the end where the Comm1 does not. The other problem is the element shows as a default axis. This one unfortunately isnt a very good comparison as in the default.lua it is an iCommand statement. I havent tried to change the value statements in the clickable_data.lua at the end of the Comm statement yet but that seems to be the reason why the Comm knobs dont work. it may be a fix to edit the commands to replicate the brightness knob by changing the Comm1 and Comm2 elements to a default axis.
