More "Special For Joystick" Commands Needed

[ohyeah2389]

Hello,

 

 

Since DCS doesn't allow you to bind separate commands for switch press and release, the Special For Joystick commands are essential. However, I find it confusing that while the roll AP switch has them, the pitch AP does not; similarly, the Master Arm has one, but the Laser Arm does not. Please add commands for these switches (or allow us to bind keypress and keyrelease to different commands ourselves).

while its not hard to do them on your own, its a bit of a pain to restore them after every update since the file gets overwritten even if there is no change.

You can add these two lines in Dcs World\Mods\aircraft\F-16C\Input\F-16C\joystick\default.lua

 

{ down = control_commands.ApPitchAlt_EXT, up = control_commands.ApPitchAlt_EXT, cockpit_device_id = devices.CONTROL_INTERFACE, value_down = 1.0, value_up = -1.0, name = _('Autopilot PITCH Switch - ALT HOLD / A/P OFF (Multi-pos switch)'), category = {_('Instrument Panel'), _('FLCS')}},

{ down = control_commands.ApPitchAtt_EXT, up = control_commands.ApPitchAtt_EXT, cockpit_device_id = devices.CONTROL_INTERFACE, value_down = -1.0, value_up = 1.0, name = _('Autopilot PITCH Switch - ATT HOLD / A/P OFF (Multi-pos switch)'), category = {_('Instrument Panel'), _('FLCS')}},

Can the middle line be correct (which is currently DCS standard):

 

{down = control_commands.ApPitchAlt_EXT,			up = control_commands.ApPitchAlt_EXT,			cockpit_device_id = devices.CONTROL_INTERFACE,	value_down =  1.0,	value_up = 0.0,	name = _('Autopilot PITCH Switch - ALT HOLD'),		category = {_('Instrument Panel'), _('FLCS')}},
{down = control_commands.ApPitchAlt_EXT,															cockpit_device_id = devices.CONTROL_INTERFACE,	value_down = -1.0,					name = _('Autopilot PITCH Switch - A/P OFF'),		category = {_('Instrument Panel'), _('FLCS')}},
{down = control_commands.ApPitchAtt_EXT,			up = control_commands.ApPitchAtt_EXT,			cockpit_device_id = devices.CONTROL_INTERFACE,	value_down = -1.0,	value_up = 0.0,	name = _('Autopilot PITCH Switch - ATT HOLD'),		category = {_('Instrument Panel'), _('FLCS')}},

 

I think the -1.0 for value_down can't be correct ... any thoughts about it?

If new commands could somehow be written in the .diff.lua it would make it more practical to create and persist custom controls from version to version.

That would be awesome. But currently i dont think it works that way.

adding landing gear so I can use my thrustmaster warthog base switches would be great

How about including 'press' and 'release' as modifiers for all setups. This would satisfy many threads I have researched as well as rounding out perfect native support for every controller available (sic).

 

I admit I have no idea how easy this is to do.
