[FIXED] No separate bindings for APU ON and OFF

[Brun]

The A-10C has always had separate bindings for starting and stopping the APU. This obviously works perfectly well with the two-position switch on the Warthog throttle.

 

The Hornet only has one binding for ON/OFF, which means having to setup Target to fire the same command for start and stop.

 

This seems like an oversight because most similar functions have separate bindings, meaning the switches can be set up properly.

Yesterday's patch fixed the APU switch behaviour for the Warthog throttle base. Now it works the way it should :)

Yep, working fine for me.

I read a post about the incorrect functionality, but the update didn't change the way in which the controller is mapped.

 

Most two position functions (e.g. landing gear) have both a toggle binding (g) and discrete bindings for UP and DOWN (something like shift+g and ctrl+g, can't check while at work). This was the case for the APU in the A-10C.

 

In the Hornet, there is only an ON/OFF toggle, so it's still not possible to use the Warthog throttle's APU switch correctly.

 

The only reason I can think for this is that in the Hornet the APU switch appears to be magnetically held and switches off automatically. This means that the Warthog switch would then be in the 'wrong' position.

 

Regardless of the above, it would be appreciated if the other bindings were added so the user can decide which is the most appropriate behaviour.

Works fine for me...
