Fire extinguishing system

And has the engine fire extinguishers been bound yet?

Has it been verified that the fire extinguishing system is implemented yet? I can pull fuel shutoff handles out (which do cutoff fuel after some seconds), but nothing happens when I click the fire extinguisher buttons below them (except giving me a button sound). But maybe you need an actual engine fire to verify...?

I did however find (in clickabledata.lua) potential keybind solutions for both the fuel cutoff handles as well as the extinguisher buttons, see lua code below, but only the handles seem to work. The commands for the extinguisher buttons produces error messages when I send a logical 1 (and nothing happens when I send 0 or -1). I could of course be using a non-valid argument, but can't find any hints to valid ones anywhere. :dunno:

Huge thanks for working this! Is there a list with all the code that could be copied and pasted into the file.

Is there a way to code rotary dials into DCS?

About rotary dials, not that I'm aware of. I think HB needs to add them as additional device_commands.

I personally use TARGET scripting (SEQ command) for solving those needs with my TM Warthog.

Also adding another vote for HUD and VDI trim knobs as an axis. It's a real pain to try to mouse those knobs while holding pitch on the stick.

mariner3302 · October 7, 2019

This thread exists to provide accurate key binds to the Tomcat that were not, or are not currently, available upon HB's release. These are real life controls that where in the F-14B. This is not about binding controls to make things easier or convenient. The usefulness of this topic is primarily to Pit builders and those that use external switching controls.

There is no next/previous steer mode in the PDCP.

Trim (which is not an axis) and autopilot are already in the controls menu to be bound.

Like Winter said, HB has to add the rotary switch capability.

I know, it's not a big problem, but it would be nice to be able to spin a knob on my throttle base without removing my hand from the stick rather than grab the mouse.

There is no next/previous steer mode in the PDCP.

I understand. HB already has a binding available for next and previous HUD mode. It would just be nice to also have that function for steer mode.

Please please make a afterburner toggle switch, like the "finger lift" on the F-18.

Having the possibility to put the jet into full dry thrust is very important on a plane that is not allowed afterburners on takeoff, and needs all the thrust it can get on carrier takeoffs and carrier landing bolters.

The real plane has a physical barrier where you have to push the throttles sideways to get into afterburner.

It is highly needed. And add an option to NOT use it in the specials menu, so people with throttles set up with detents can still use those setups.

Please, pretty please, with sugar on top.

Dudikoff · October 14, 2019

I was adding RIO controls option to my Target profile and was surprised to find that the station select switches cannot be mapped as they're not provided in the controls!?

Also, I don't see VSL OFF position?

It's already annoying enough that no module assigns default keyboard mappings for all the controls, but to have missing controls six months from release is somewhat surprising.

Also, it's quite standard for rotary encoders to have an option to turn them forward and back between their initial and final position. That would be very helpful, rather than having to map a key for each position and then write special Target functions to navigate through them using forward and back controls.

Finally, I guess the two position switches should also have a toggle variant to swap between the two positions.

For the three or more position switches, it would be nice to have two controls which push them up or down through their positions (kind of like encoders). The if else options provided in the controls are only helpful for real three position switches where the command is pressed and held.

Are these binding suggestions taken into consideration at all? I see the first post has collected quite a set of suggestions.

Home Fries · October 17, 2019

Something simple I'd like to see on the RIO side is a binding to start/stop/reset the stopwatch. This can be very useful for buddy lasing (see the guide linked in my sig), or for timing legs on a CAP circuit. This would be especially nice to map since the button isn't easy to see without performing TrackIR contortions.

Rabbisaur · October 23, 2019

Can we add the key binding to ask Jestor to change FOV of the TCS? Sometimes I wish to change FOV to better ID contact a little bit far. But Jestor wouldn't do that automatically.

Also it is best if we can have separate binding for asking Jester to go P-STT and PD-STT. Because there's no feed back or indication whether we are currently in P-STT or PD-STT mode.

Hextopia · October 23, 2019

I'd like to suggest adding in DDD range +/- keybinds for the RIO, since having to bind every individual range button is a pain in the ass.

And before someone says "but those don't exist in the real plane", in the real plane I'd just rest my hand on the panel and push the buttons. I need some abstraction to make flying in VR without a full sim pit a little easier.

I'm new to DCS in general and especially to modifying the .lua files. I've built some custom button boxes and would like to get some additional axes added. I was able to get the wing sweep lever working with the help of this thread. I tried to use the same logic for the volume panel but can't seem to get it to work.

Here is whats in the clickable.lua for sidewinder volume for an example:

-- Pilot TONE VOLUME panel

elements["PNT_2039"] = default_axis(_("Sidewinder Volume"), devices.ICS, device_commands.RADIO_ICS_Vol_Sidewinder, cockpit_args.RADIO_ICS_Vol_Sidewinder, 0, 0.1, false, false)

Here what I tried to add to the default.lua in the joystick folder :

{action=device_commands.RADIO_ICS_Vol_Sidewinder, cockpit_device_id=devices.RADIO_ICS_Vol_Sidewinder, name=_('Sidewinder Volume')},

It adds it to the axis list and lets me assign it but once in the game it does not adjust the volume knob and I get an error message in the top right corner of the screen saying "Unhandled Proxy Command 3397 val=nil" when the knob reaches 100%.

Any Ideas?

This is still missing on the list from what I see. https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=247899 ("feature request: allow mouse-scrolling on instrument+console light wheels")
