sideshow Posted May 31, 2018 Posted May 31, 2018 (edited) Minor issue I've noticed is when I turn the APU off, by moving the switch on my Warthog throttle it doesn't shut off. I have to move it back into the on position to get the APU to shut down. Seems like only moving the switch forward works, and moving it aft doesn't shut it off as it should. Is there a way to get the APU switch (button 29 on the throttle) work similar to the A-10, where forward will start the APU and aft will kill it? I've got it mapped to the APU on/off bind in settings. There's also a similar issue with the external lights switch. Forward turns it on for me, but moving it to center does nothing. I've been really impressed with the Hornet, and can't put it down. Think she's ED's best work as of yet! Thanks Edited May 31, 2018 by sideshow external lights switch similar issue
S D Posted May 31, 2018 Posted May 31, 2018 "There's also a similar issue with the external lights switch. Forward turns it on for me, but moving it to center does nothing." I assume this is because on the Hornet throttle, the switch for the exterior lights is just a 2 position toggle switch on/off.
ED Team NineLine Posted May 31, 2018 ED Team Posted May 31, 2018 The APU switch works as it should with the battery off, but breaks with the battery on. I just reported it. thanks guys! Forum Rules • My YouTube • My Discord - NineLine#0440• **How to Report a Bug**
sideshow Posted May 31, 2018 Author Posted May 31, 2018 (edited) I believe you're right, but moving the switch forward or to the aft most position should press and hold switch so to speak. So bringing it back to center, which is a dead position, should release that press. To release it you basically have to go to the center position, then back into the other position. Only reason I'm harping on the lights switch is it's actually important. When you're set on the cat, you signal you're ready by flipping that master switch and turning the strobes on. After a trap, you should be flipping it off to kill the external lights. The jets taxi around the ship blacked out. Only time you're using those lights is when you're all set. Small detail I know, but the Hornet is an amazing module which pays attention to those small things! Edited May 31, 2018 by sideshow reasoning for harping! :)
HydroBIG BANG Posted May 31, 2018 Posted May 31, 2018 This seems to be a problem with DCS, The HOTAS Warthog and perhaps any other HOTAS that has switches only works properly for the A-10C. When binding for the hog both the on and off positions are registered but when trying to bind for any other aircraft the off or middle positions aren't registered. So for other aircraft your going to have to get used to cycling the switches :(
