Being someone who enjoys binding all my keys and minimizing the use of a mouse, I've pulled together the missing keybinding controls for the F-14B (pilot only). Note that these are simple key presses and not toggle buttons.

 

Heatblur- if you are reading this, feel free to add these controls on your next update as a stop-gap measure. I highly suggest creating a toggle command for the two position switches and up/down command for the three position switches. This is such a great module, and having these keybindings really make a difference for us sim pilots who strive for as much immersion as possible.

 

JSGME ready, just put the "F14B - Controls" folder into your _MODS folder.

 

Let me know if there are any errors.

 

Enjoy!

Yeah, and here I was wondering where's that Parking Brake mapping..

 

Thanks for your effort.

 

Hope this gets added to the module properly.

List of added keybindings:

...

-Nose Strut Compression Switch

...

 

 

Thanks a lot .. I dont have that many buttons on my Hotas, but the nose strut looks nice to be able to watch it from outside the plane while commanding it on the Hotas :)

Will test it tonight.

 

Edit: Nice Detail, grouping all the new keybindings on their own category :D

Thanks Alerax.

 

 

I tried to add HSD HDG & CRS knobs - they work as clickable (if in TACAN Mode), but not if I add these commands in the keytrokes file you provided - I just tried tacking this near the end, and although it appears OK in the GUI, and I can assign buttons or keystrokes to it - it does nothing to the Heading or Course bugs on the HSD.

 

 

-- Heading knob

{pressed = device_commands.HSD_Knob_Heading, cockpit_device_id = devices.HSD, value_pressed = 1.0, value_up = 0, name = _('ALT HSD Heading Correction Inc'), category = _('PDCP')},

{pressed = device_commands.HSD_Knob_Heading, cockpit_device_id = devices.HSD, value_pressed = -1.0, value_up = 0, name = _('ALT HSD Heading Correction Dec'), category = _('PDCP')},

-- Course knob

{pressed = device_commands.HSD_Knob_Course, cockpit_device_id = devices.HSD, value_pressed = 1.0, value_up = 0, name = _('ALT HSD Course Correction Inc'), category = _('PDCP')},

{pressed = device_commands.HSD_Knob_Course, cockpit_device_id = devices.HSD, value_pressed = -1.0, value_up = 0, name = _('ALT HSD Course Correction Dec'), category = _('PDCP')},

 

 

 

Any Clues?

Hopefully, Heatblur officially adds these keybindings.

Hi mkiii- turn knobs are a bit finicky to work with from the user side. It's typically something that needs to addressed by the developer (at least that's my understanding so far).

Mariner, you are too kind. This is just a small clean up, nothing compared to what Heatblur has given us- an incredibly satisfying and detailed module to fly!

Thank you so much adding these additional binds. I have a couple questions regard your mod. First, are there existing binds for the emergency wing sweep lever and the ability to pull it up/stow it? I noticed it wasn't among the binds your mod added so I assume I just overlooked it. In the same vein, is it possible to adjust your mod to make the flap lever function like it does with the mouse wheel? That is to say, in an non-binary fashion. The cold start at one point requires you to go to half flaps and the current implementation results in either fully up or fully down. Thanks again!

Hi Alerax,

 

It is possible to add a 2/3-position switch for Antiskid & Spoiler.

 

The function should be:

 

Antiskid & Spoiler BK - Both, On, else Off

 

and

 

Antiskid & Spoiler BK - Spoiler Only, On, else Off

 

This feature would work well with the Warthog HOTAS. Switch to the front (Antiskid & Spoiler BK - Both), switch to the middle (off), switch to the back (Antiskid & Spoiler BK - Spoiler Only) and back to the middle (off).

 

Thanks and Greetings

I created the function: :thumbup:

 

{down = device_commands.BRAKE_AntiSkidAndSpoilerBrake, up = device_commands.BRAKE_AntiSkidAndSpoilerBrake, value_down = 1, value_up = 0, cockpit_device_id=devices.GEARHOOK, name = _('Antiskid & Spoiler BK - Both, else off'), category = _('Gears, brakes, and hook')},
{down = device_commands.BRAKE_AntiSkidAndSpoilerBrake, up = device_commands.BRAKE_AntiSkidAndSpoilerBrake, value_down = -1, value_up = 0, cockpit_device_id=devices.GEARHOOK, name = _('Antiskid & Spoiler BK - Spoiler Only, else off'), category = _('Gears, brakes, and hook')},

Normally this is the case, I assumed the same but in this particular case it seems to work!

 

Coarse, fine and +/- 1 degree increments included in the following code:
