Has anybody had any luck modifying default.lua for cockpit switches?

[Jyge]

I fired up mig-21bis again and I noticed that my warthog profile is again shot to hell. I tried some reconfiguring and checked out the Input/keyboard/default.lua again.

 

 

I have no joy with these On/Off bindings. You can not really bind them to the Warthog switches, as you will never know if the switch is currently On or is it Off. I could easily group the weapons systems switches to one warthog switch if there was a instinctive On and Off Key-Binding.

 

 

It is possible in most of the other aircraft, for some aircraft a bit more difficult, for some it is easier. Mig-21bis seems to be totally different.

Whereas I was successful with some weapons systems switches with a distinctive Off function - I have absolutely no joy with On function.

 

 

Here is an example:

 

 

 

{combos = {{key = 'B', reformers = {'RShift','RCtrl'}}},down = device_commands.Obogrev,cockpit_device_id = devices.WEAPON_CONTROL, value_down = -1.0, name = _('MSL Heat Off'), category = _('Modded')}, 
{combos = {{key = 'N', reformers = {'RShift','RCtrl'}}},down = device_commands.Pusk,cockpit_device_id = devices.WEAPON_CONTROL, value_down = -1.0, name = _('MSL - RKT Launch Off'), category = _('Modded')}, 
{combos = {{key = 'M', reformers = {'RShift','RCtrl'}}},down = device_commands.Pitanie12,cockpit_device_id = devices.WEAPON_CONTROL, value_down = -1.0, name = _('1-2 Power Off'), category = _('Modded')}, 
{combos = {{key = ',', reformers = {'RShift','RCtrl'}}},down = device_commands.Pitanie34,cockpit_device_id = devices.WEAPON_CONTROL, value_down = -1.0, name = _('3-4 Power Off'), category = _('Modded')}, 
{combos = {{key = '.', reformers = {'RShift','RCtrl'}}},down = device_commands.GS23,cockpit_device_id = devices.WEAPON_CONTROL, value_down = -1.0, name = _('Gun Off'), category = _('Modded')}, 
{combos = {{key = 'V', reformers = {'RShift','RCtrl'}}},down = device_commands.ASPon,cockpit_device_id = devices.ASP, value_down = -1.0, name = _('ASP-17 Sight Off'), category = _('Modded')}, 
{combos = {{key = 'X', reformers = {'RShift','RCtrl'}}},down = device_commands.ASPpipperOn,cockpit_device_id = devices.ASP, value_down = -1.0, name = _('Pipper Off'), category = _('Modded')}, 
{combos = {{key = 'C', reformers = {'RShift','RCtrl'}}},down = device_commands.ASPnetOn,cockpit_device_id = devices.ASP, value_down = -1.0, name = _('Fix net Off'), category = _('Modded')}, 

 

 

Everything else works, except the Sight Off, strangely that keeps on flicking On/Off also for the Off binding. Similarly I can not create the On bindings as with down = 1.0 everything will be again just On/Off toggle.

 

 

Similarly all of the other switches Inverter, Battery, Generator, Giro and Pumps that I would like to switch On once and be done with them are stubbornly On/Off toggles, nevermind what I do.

 

 

Has anybody had any luck with this kind of endeavor for Mig-21bis - I gather there was some discussion with the dev in the past and even protests about going for toggle bindings. What is the status? Is there any hope of getting the distinctive On and Off bindings, maybe in the speculated cockpit upgrade?
