[REPORTED] Radiator Flaps Axis Not Working

[Surrexen]

It looks to me like radiator flaps are not working if it is assigned to an axis. They open and close fine if they are assigned buttons though.

Ok by default one of my TM warthog throttle axis is set to radiator flaps but I could not see any movement, thanks for posting. I shall look into it maybe explain why im finding it’s climb performance particularly poor.

Yeah i'm using a warthog too. Tried rebinding the axis but nothing. Buttons for open and close radiator flaps work fine though.

Can confirm. Also using the Warthog and radiator mapped to axis doesn't work. Buttons do work, though.

Several things wrong here

 

Therre are several things ED should do here:

 

1. The line in file "Throttle - HOTAS Warthog.lua" under "axisCommands = {":

{action = device_commands.Button_15, cockpit_device_id = devices.CONTROL_SYSTEM, name = _('Radiator Flaps'), category = _('Engine Control')},

has the wrong button No. It should be "Button_13". Users can easily fix that.

2. Without axis tune setting, this axis rotates at supersonic speed so it's impossible to turn the crank in a controlled manner. I had to reduce "Saturation Y" to 5, with Invert checked, in order to use the axis, and even then it uses only a fraction of the slider range.

3. That command line needs to be added to "default.lua" so people not owning the TM WH throttle can use it.

PS: This set of problems is obviously "inherited" from the Dora which has exactly the same .lua code. I suspect it was never reported for the Dora though as people tend to use button controls for this function.
