[REPORTED] Radiator Flaps axis

[Paszczak]

Hello.

 

I have no problem with radiator flaps open/close buttons but I can not make radiator AXIS working.

Am I missing something ??

No possibility to assign axis to radiator flaps control. Only buttons are here.

You do not miss something.

That's great!

Cloud you also explain this screenshot?

 

[saburo_cz]

I can not explain your screenshot, but what is your version?

 

Because i do not have it in any, i have 1.5.7 stable, 1.5.7 beta and 2.1 alpha...

All are without it.

 

So, i have no idea...

Hi,

 

This option is shown for : TM Warthog

 

But it doesn't seem to be working - no success with JOY_Slider1

In the stable version 1.5.7.10872 the FW-190 D4 has in fact an axis control option for radiator flaps, and I confirm it doesn't work. That same option also exists in 2.1.1.10527 and it has no function there either.

I guess the option was put in by mistake and we should ignore it.

Just like we ignore the axis options for TDC Slew which also appear under the FW-190's axis control options.

Maybe its only me, but I think it would be great to have the option to assign an axis to the radiator flap control, since in the real plane the radiator flaps are also controlled by a rotary knob.

Its not only you, it would be nice. Not sure why it is not an option

I asked for it back in 2014. I will see if I can get any more traction on it again.

Any chance to add gun-sight brightness & instrument brightness axes to the controls?

[LeCuvier]

There is an axis command for Radiator Flaps in the file "Throttle - HOTAS Warthog.lua", but it doesn't work.

I tried to create axis commands using info from "clickabledata.lua" with these lines in the "Throttle - HOTAS Warthog.lua":

{action = device_commands.Button_4, cockpit_device_id  = devices.EZ42_GUNSIGHT, name = _('EZ42 Gunsight Brightness Knob')},
{action = device_commands.Button_13, cockpit_device_id  = devices.CONTROL_SYSTEM, name = _('Radiator Flaps Control Knob')},
{action = device_commands.Button_1, cockpit_device_id  = devices.LIGHT_SYSTEM, name = _('Instrument Brightness Knob')},
},

They work kind of, but they utilise only a part of the signal range. The radiator flaps command is almost ON/OFF.

It might be possible to alleviate these problems by reducing the gain values in "clickabledata.lua" and applying curves, but then they would become unusable for pushbutton control. I don't have enough axis controls so I need to continue the pushbutton controls and therefore don't want to mess with gain adjustments.

You guys will have to wait for ED to do their homework.
