Warthog throttle configuration question

[nickos86]

Hi,

 

I'd like to set my EAC toggle to act as the MASTER ARM toggle. in the A-10, when moved from the ARM position to the OFF position - it actually moves in the airplane.

In the F-18C, moving from ARM to OFF does nothing. I'v looked the clickabledata.lua files and it seems to be different button types. How should I configure it so it would worked correctly?

 

 

Thanks

go to Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\aircraft\FA-18C\Input\FA-18C\joystick\default.lau and add these lines for masterarm

 

{ down = SMS_commands.MasterArmSw, up = SMS_commands.MasterArmSw, cockpit_device_id = devices.SMS, value_down = 1.0, value_up = 0.0, name = _('Master Arm Switch - ARM Else SAFE'), category = {_('Specific switch abstraction')}}

 

after you do this a new category will be created in DCS for the f18 called specific switch abstraction, go to it and bind the toggle switch to it.

 

Hope this helps

I've used the code for the original line and it worked great! Thanks!!!

Different approach would be using the T.A.R.G.E.T. software:

 

I'm using the Right fuel control switch for Master ARM and programmed the button to the next keybindings:

 

Master switch ARM: LShift + M

Maste switch SAVE: LCtrl + M

 

 

In the T.A.R.G.E.T. software:

//Engine Fuel Flow Right

MapKey(&Throttle, EFRNORM, PULSE+L_SHIFT+'m');

MapKey(&Throttle, EFROVER, PULSE+L_CTL+'m');

 

The EAC switch should work the same.

F/A18 Control Mapping and Bindings

 

Having all kinds Of problems with Mappings and bindings beginning to think I have a bad DCS load sometimes switches won't work inF18. I can't take off from carrier I go full power and the Cat doesn't engage I just roll of the carrier deck. really could use some help. But have no idea where to go or where to ask some I'm trying here. New to DCS so a Lot I don't quite get at the moment but I am learning. email; Zephstaton@gmail.com

I didn't want to use the T.A.R.G.E.T on purpose. I prefer not to program the stick/throttle but the sim instead.
