DCS-Bios issues

[Bullant]

I am trying to put together a basic AV8B aircraft definition for DCS Bios so that I can learn what is involved.

 

So far I have figured out how to get the necessary parameters for inputs, but for some reason when running in live view mode I can see the state of the switches/buttons when I change them in game but can't actually change them using the buttons in the live view screen.

 

Simple stuff here, for instance:

 

definePushButton("MMP_NAV_MODE", 11, 3001, 282, "Master Modes Panel", "NAV Master Mode")
definePushButton("LMPCD_01", 25, 3001, 200, "Left MPCD", "OSB 1")
defineToggleSwitch("MAP_MASTER_ARM", 28, 3001, 287, "Master Armament Panel", "Master Arm Switch")

 

Secondly, can anyone give me any clues as to where to get the output values from for the AV8B? Looking through the other module definitions I can see that these are usually found in mainpanel_init.lua or in the *_init.lua files of sub cockpit components but I can find nothing for the harrier.

 

I get the feeling that the issue with commands not being passed through to the aircraft might be something the av8b devs might be able to help with, it feels like it might be something that is missing from the module definition.

Please share your DCS bios for the AV8B if you got it to work.

At the moment im building a simple simpit for the harrier with so e displays

If I can get some feedback on why the switch commands aren't being recognised by the cockpit then I will complete the module and put it up for everyone to use.

Bump for the OP.

 

Can anyone from RAZBAM give comment?

Any news on this? Building a pit as well and it looks like NO support for DCS-BIOS
