field / carrier bypass switch

[av8r13]

had to reinstall DCS and lost my lua mods.

 

does anyone have the lua command for separate on/off field and carrier bypass bindings?

 

i would like to assign field and carrier to different switches

 

thanks in advance

I just have a toggle, so 1 button.

 

Why do u want 2 different ? Curious :)

running out of switches on my warthog.... lol

 

i use the toggle switch on the pinky 3 way switch on the warthog throttle.

 

up is field and down is carrier, but it is a 3-way switch so i need separate commands

 

i had it before but i cant it now in the forums.

What does that switch even do? I’ve always wondered

[PL_Harpoon]

If set to carrier the AOA indexer will blink if the gear is down and the hook is up and stop blinking if it is down.

 

If set to field the AOA will not blink regardless of the hook position.

Go and download RS Mapper. Its free and allows you to program a simple 1 way switch, to perform as a 2-way. So my TM Warthog toggles are now On/Off.

Hi av8r13.

You have to add folloing code at the file default.lua at line 8 in your DCS Folder Mods\aircraft\FA-18C\Input\FA-18C\joystick.

 {down = cptlights_commands.HookBypass, up = cptlights_commands.HookBypass,    cockpit_device_id = devices.CPT_LIGTHS,    value_down =  1.0,    value_up = -1.0,     name = _('Hook Bypass 2-Pos Switch FIELD/Carrier'), category = {_('Left Vertical Panel')}}, 

 

You have to add this line every time dcs is updated!

 

I use it with my home made panel using a Arduino board with dx button.

 

Have fun

Then configure your DCS input as follow with your warthog throttle

If set to carrier the AOA indexer will blink if the gear is down and the hook is up and stop blinking if it is down.

 

If set to field the AOA will not blink regardless of the hook position.

 

Hook bypass goes to carrier automatically when you deploy your hook, so to be more accurate:

 

Hook bypass to field will make the AOA indexer not blink when you try to land without the hook deployed.
