Is this mod still going? Still alive? I hope so cause it's filling a void that definitely needs filling lol

Depends on what you need. Many binds might have already been added since.

I would like to see two keybindings for pilot to increase and decrease radar range for Jester AI. Currently there are fixed bindings for this; "Radar Range - 25/50/100/200/400". Instead of using 5 buttons on Hotas to map all the ranges, we can use only two buttons instead. Right now due to lack of available buttons I'm only mapping the 50 and 100 ones to my Hotas. I believe there are other modules that already support this.

Thanks!

Any comment on the above request HB?

Hi, for instance you can add those keybinds from the RIO to the PILOT (copy past these in "C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\aircraft\F14\Input\F-14B-Pilot\keyboard\default.lua", i placed those additional keybinds just under ILS section, you can do the same if you want):

--************************************* Additional keybinds  ******************************************************************
{down = device_commands.TID_range_knob_step, cockpit_device_id=devices.TID, value_down = 1.0, name = _('TID range +'), category = _('TID')},
{down = device_commands.TID_range_knob_step, cockpit_device_id=devices.TID, value_down = -1.0, name = _('TID range -'), category = _('TID')},

Should look like this:

Then you can map those keybinds in-game. Remember to always ask Jester a fixed TID Range before using those keybinds, otherwise, he'll change it by himself a few seconds after your inputs.

This is exactly what I was looking for.  Many many thanks!

Need help please, I'm trying to make a bind for the F14 Asymmetric thrust limiter off and cover open, else on and closed. I tried creating a line of code based off what Heatblur has in there for the master arm switch "master arm on and cover open else safe and closed" but I've had no luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated, below is what i tried without success:

{down = device_commands.ENGINE_Asym_Limiter_And_Cover,     up = device_commands.ENGINE_Asym_Limiter_And_Cover, value_down = 1, value_up = 0, cockpit_device_id=devices.ENGINE, name = _('Asymmetric Thrust Limiter Off and Cover Open, else On and Closed'), category = _('Engine Control Panel')},

If it doesn't exist in clickable.lua it won't work afaik - make a request here:

https://forum.dcs.world/topic/201044-running-request-bindable-button-axis-options/page/13/#comment-5224447

and in the meantime you can work this out with external app for making combos.

Thanks draconus, whats the name of the external app? Is it DCS Bios?

TM TARGET, Joystick Gremlin etc.

Have you tried without binding open the cover? I tried something like that in advance for when I can actually use it (I only have a single throttle atm), I thought it worked as intended though I'm not really sure. Otherwise using an external app you can use a single command to trigger both.
