instr. brightness knob binding to axis?

[vlandmist]

hi guys, I just got a very nice virpil mongoost throttle and i'm trying to make a use of the knobs

I found out how to turn instrument lights on (1.0) or off (0.0) by setting their down_value on a custom keybinding. that's ok but I'd like more:

 

is there anyway I can bind the brightness knob to an axis?

 

 

thanks

ok I found this, it's very helpful. it

 

I could add the last line in the ..DCS World\Mods\aircraft\AV8BNA\Input\AV8BNA\joystick\default.lua file:

 

 

join(res.axisCommands,{

{combos = defaultDeviceAssignmentFor("roll")  ,  action = iCommandPlaneRoll		   , name = _('Roll')},
{combos = defaultDeviceAssignmentFor("pitch") ,  action = iCommandPlanePitch	   , name = _('Pitch')},
{combos = defaultDeviceAssignmentFor("rudder"),  action = iCommandPlaneRudder	   , name = _('Rudder')},
{combos = defaultDeviceAssignmentFor("thrust"),  action = iCommandPlaneThrustCommon, name = _('Thrust')},
{action = iCommandPlaneCollective,  name = _('Nozzle Angle')},
{action = iCommandWheelBrake,		name = _('Wheel Brakes')},
{action = iCommandLeftWheelBrake,	name = _('Wheel Brake Left')},
{action = iCommandRightWheelBrake,	name = _('Wheel Brake Right')},
{action = iCommandPlaneThrustRight,	name = _('Nozzle STO Stop')},

--HOTAS TDC
{action = iCommandPlaneSelecterHorizontalAbs, name = _('TDC Slew Horizontal')},
{action = iCommandPlaneSelecterVerticalAbs	, name = _('TDC Slew Vertical')},

[b]-- internal lights
{action = int_light_commands.Knob_Instr_Lights, cockpit_device_id = devices.LTINT, name = _('Instruments Lights Knob')},[/b]

})

 

 

the only strange thing now is that DCS is considering my middle position as 0% (instead of 50%), so it's using only half axis.... I have to setup axis curve in game to go from 50 to 100
