[BUG] Some cockpit switches behave erratically (fix included)

[Redglyph]

DCS 2.5.4.29167

 

So that users don't have to guess which of the left / right click they have to use, here is a fix for that problem with some of the switches (once again, this is to make it easier and to stick to DCS's standard).

 

Just replace the clickabledata.lua file with the one in the zip archive, there is no compatibility issue whatsoever.

 

The front cockpit is mostly correct, there is only one switch that behaves erratically. But the RIO cockpit is another matter, it seems some of the devices were made by another developer who would do it differently, which gives an overall impression of chaotic behaviour (not as bad as the A-10C, admittedly).

 

The knobs all seem to be fine. There is one spring-loaded switch at the back which is counter-intuitive but I left it since there is no risk. Same for the light intensity knobs which feel also wrong, but at least they're all consistent.

 

 

Fixed switches:

 

1) Front cockpit

 

elements["PNT_928"] "Hydraulic Emergency Flight Control Switch"

 

2) RIO cockpit

 

elements["PNT_36"] "Target size (no function)"

elements["PNT_37"] "Main Lobe Clutter filter"

elements["PNT_63"] "Mech fuse"

elements["PNT_75"] "Missile option"

elements["PNT_68"] "Jettison station 1"

elements["PNT_71"] "Jettison station 8"

elements["PNT_161"] "IFF audio/light (no function)"

elements["PNT_162"] "IFF M1 (no function)"

elements["PNT_163"] "IFF M2 (no function)"

elements["PNT_164"] "IFF M3/A (no function)"

elements["PNT_165"] "IFF MC (no function)"

elements["PNT_166"] "IFF RAD (no function)"

elements["PNT_167"] "IFF Ident (no function)"

 

 

The original clickabledata.lua file is provided as "clickabledata.org.lua" for comparison or backup.
