Where is the DECS Key binding?

[MilesD]

I cant seem to find a keybinding in the controls for the DECS system. Its the switch above the fuel shut off lever. I fly VR and have a hard time looking at it.

 

Thanks

Miles

Only need it once - when you say you have a hard time looking at it - do you mean head tracking? Just curious as I use VR exclusively and have no issues with tracking at all...

[MilesD]

Tracking is fine, Physical limitation from injury.

I have limited mobility too and would love a key map for DECS and fuel valve. It may come in due course. Early access and all that. If it is there and I’m blind not seeing it please do let me know though.

It's not there yet. You can create it yourself.

 

I made a youtube video a while ago that explains how to add key bindings. Perhaps I need to redo it with a little more prep and focus.

 

 

Add these lines to your joystick or keyboard default.lua

{down = 3520, cockpit_device_id = 9, value_down = 1,               name = _('DECS On'),        category = _('Engine & Fuel')},
{down = 3520, cockpit_device_id = 9, value_down = 0,               name = _('DECS Off'),        category = _('Engine & Fuel')},

Deezle you are the Man,

Thanks I appreciate that, and great video. Per your video I made the following changes.

 

{down = 3520, up = 3520, cockpit_device_id = 9, value_down = 1,   value_up = 0,    name = _('Alt DECS'),                category = _('Engine & Fuel')},
{down = 3519, up = 3519, cockpit_device_id = 9, value_down = 1,   value_up = 0,    name = _('Alt Fuel Shutoff Lever'),  category = _('Engine & Fuel')},

Check out this thread

 

this thread adds the DECS as well as other bindings not implemented yet.

That video is perfect! Thank you so much for taking the time to do that. Solves all my issues.

I'm glad the video is helpful for you guys, there's a few more things in the video I'd like to add and clarify, but it's nice getting all your switches and such to work exactly how you want them by creating something tailored to your own needs.

possible solution?

 

@Deezle

you may be able to figure this out for me.

 

I have a desktop aviator 2235 board that i use for easy on/off switches. this board sends a pulse each time you flip the switch

the issue is with Razbam and the way the implement most of the coding for the switches doesn't allow me to use my "electrical panel" in my simpit which is mostly tied to the board. I had this issue with the mirage as well and wasn't able to resolve it wither. I've tried many variations in the coding but the reaction in game is always the same.....the switch flips on then immediately off. id like to avoid having to rewire these switches to a leo bodnar or a dsd that i have in my pit but would muck up how neat things are :megalol:

 

Whats your take on this issue?

You need toggle commands to map them to, many of the default commands are toggle commands, such as the master arm switch. Unfortunately I don't know if it's possible for us to add missing toggle commands, I think that is up to the devs. Perhaps the clickabledata.lua has more secrets for me to find eventually.

 

I originally programmed one of my panels to function like that, a pulse each time the switch was thrown, because it was easy on many modules with existing toggle commands. I eventually changed it to a steady state on/off system because there's simply too many modules lacking the toggle commands, but I can always make any module work with a standard steady state on/off switch action, but it takes more work, I have many hours into editing the default.luas for all the modules to use my panels.

[Baldawg]

yeah i gave up on it and switched a few of my switches (ha ha) to a different board. Currently browsing the clickabledata and commanddefs luas to try and figure out how to implement the interior lights so i can bind them to my rotary encoders. the only one i can use as an example is the formation lights and it is an icommand function. I guess i need to hit up zues67 to see where they are going to go with these in the near future.
