"Special For Joystick" binding for Master Arm

[Nooch]

Users should be allowed to setup "special for joystick" type binds for any switch in the cockpit that they want. Having to choose from a limited list isn't a solution.

Weird that there's a default binding for speed brake Retract/Off but not one for Extend. I added the following (changing the down value to '-1.0') and am happy to report it works as expected...

 

{ down = hotas_commands.THROTTLE_SPEED_BRAKE, up = hotas_commands.THROTTLE_SPEED_BRAKE, cockpit_device_id = devices.HOTAS, value_down = -1.0, value_up = 0.0, name = _('Speed Brake Switch - EXTEND/OFF'), category = {_('Special For Joystick'), _('Throttle Grip'), _('HOTAS')}},

 

On my TM Warthog, I have extend and Retract/OFF bound. The extend, is however reliant on me holding the switch aft until the speed brake is fully deployed, releasing sets it to the middle position, and "clicking" forward will get it to the Retract/OFF position. This is the switch labeled as "speed brake" in the attached image. Not sure what HOTAS you are using, but should be achievable to bind within DCS without any coding effort.....
