Trying to edit keybindings for the F/A-18C

[D3adCy11nd3r]

I am attempting to make the toggle switches that don't auto return off/normal etc.

 

 

 

I have looked through the default .lua and compared the toggles to the ones that already return to normal/off etc and can not seem to figure out what I am doing wrong.

 

 

 

When I edit a line i get a dup of the line. When I add in a new line the new line shows, but just mirrors the other input.

 

 

in short, I am confused as hell.

This doc should help.

Thank you, After messing with it for a few hours I finally got it to work as intended.

 

 

 

Now to figure out the ecm mode switch command so that I can put that key bind in since it is commented out. [wonder why they commented it out. seems to have everything except the commands itself.]

Looks like Work in Progress, functionality not yet ready somewhere in the software. The related line in "clickabledata.lua" seems incomplete; there is no device ID in it.

The EDM Mode dial has binds for CW and CCW, but for whatever reason they don't work. That's a bug, not just a missing feature.

I suppose you mean "ECM Mode". Where did you find the binds? In the "default.lua" there are incomplete code lines and they are commented out:

--{    down = _ITER,                cockpit_device_id = devices.CMDS,    value_down = -1.0,                        name = _('ALQ-126 ECM Mode Switch - CCW'),                category = {_('Instrument Panel'), _('Dispenser')}},
--{    down = _ITER,                cockpit_device_id = devices.CMDS,    value_down =  1.0,                        name = _('ALQ-126 ECM Mode Switch - CW'),                category = {_('Instrument Panel'), _('Dispenser')}},

Therefore the binds are not visible in the game. Also the related line in "clickabledata" is incomplete and therefore I could not fix it myself. It's quite obviously work in progress, so we will have to be patient - again.

I really shouldn't be editing lua files when I'm tired :music_whistling:
