Euan Emblin Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 Hello OctopusG This is a request to include a few toggle switches especially for the complex undercarriage arrangement which I am loving getting to grips with. In VR I have to stick to my HOTAS and it would really assist people like me to have the gear lock and gear brake switches as a toggle on/off.

Ala13_ManOWar Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 You may use the "landing gear next stage" control, it sets every lever in the correct position for every stage in the LG operation so you don't have to operate them manually or remember what the correct position should be in every stage, specially wearing VR.

Euan Emblin Posted May 16, 2019 Author Share Posted May 16, 2019 Hello mate, yes I am well aware of that little aid that the developer included. Part of the satisfaction with this aircraft is the smooth application of the complex routine involved in undercarriage deployment and retrieval. I don't use any assists or aids with flight sims as I prefer to get as close to the numbers as I can. That is why it would be a great boon for enthusiasts/nerds like myself to have the option of using toggle switches for each of the 4 functions involved. It's all about immersion when using VR. - 'The Dog's Rollocks' - [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] is a water cooled behemoth : i9 9900K@5GHz/RTX 2080Ti/32 Gb 3600MHz RAM/M.2 NVMe onboard drives/System driving Pimax 5K Plus/TM Warthog/MFG Crosswind/Gametrix Jetseat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeCuvier Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 The following lever commands are already there: 1. Gear Brake Lever ON/RELEASE: These commands masquerade as "Gear brake spring ON" and "Gear brake spring OFF". 2. Emergency Gear Lock: masquerade as "Gear Lock OFF" and "Gear Lock ON" 3. Gear Handle (crank): Look for "Landing Gear Handle, Down" and "...UP". The Gear Jaw Lever UP and DOWN commands are missing. I created them by adding these 2 lines to "default.lua": {down = 3051, cockpit_device_id = devices.GEAR_SYSTEM, value_down = -1, name = _('Gear Jaw Direction Lever DOWN'), category = _('Systems')}, {down = 3051, cockpit_device_id = devices.GEAR_SYSTEM, value_down = 1, name = _('Gear Jaw Direction Lever UP'), category = _('Systems')},Test: I took OFF, switched Gear Lock and Gear Brake OFF, moved the Gear Jaw Lever UP and started to crank up. This all looked fine, but when the gear was about halfway retracted, the crank would stop and could not be turned any more. I tried this several times, making sure the take-off was smooth and speed not above 200 km/h, always with the same result. In that blocked situation, when I used the "Gear next stage" command I could crank the gear up all the way. So the gear mechanism is apparently bugged, and maybe that's why they created that "next stage" command.

theGozr Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 mixtures radiator cannot be on axis ??? Fly it like you stole it.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeCuvier Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 (edited) mixtures radiator cannot be on axis ??? Are you saying that you would like to have axis bindings for radiator flaps and mixture? If you are willing to add two lines of code to the "default.lua" you can have them.

theGozr Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 (edited) Yea plz adding code yes exactly like in the cockpit easier to find axis then key on VR :) Radiators and mix or prop pitch on Quadrant Edited May 20, 2020 by theGozr Fly it like you stole it..

LeCuvier Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 Yea plz adding code yes exactly like in the cockpit easier to find axis then key on VR :) Radiators and mix or prop pitch on Quadrant Add these 2 lines of code in the axis section of your "default.lua": {action = 3044, cockpit_device_id = devices.MOTOR_SYSTEM, name = _('Mixture Setting Axis')}, {action = 3048, cockpit_device_id = devices.MOTOR_SYSTEM, name = _('Oil Radiator Flaps Axis')},The lines must be added near the end of the lile; after these lines:-- joystick axes join(res.axisCommands,{ but before these lines:}) return resUse the free Notepad++ for editing! PS: these axis commands use only half of the slider movement. There is nothing I can do about that. If it bothers you you can set curves.

theGozr Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 Ok super thank you going to try that :) Fly it like you stole it.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theGozr Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 Ok Ok so!!! It work like a dream what a difference to have axis working perfectly !! this should be added from start. ok Thank you so much!! I know now so I added as well the cooling flaps.. Superbe !!!! {action = 3044, cockpit_device_id = devices.MOTOR_SYSTEM, name = _('Mixture Setting Axis')}, {action = 3048, cockpit_device_id = devices.MOTOR_SYSTEM, name = _('Oil Radiator Flaps Axis')}, {action = 3006, cockpit_device_id = devices.MOTOR_SYSTEM, name = _('Motor cooling flaps Axis')}, Fly it like you stole it..
