Tippis Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 To be fair, you toggle the power once for the HMCS (right console panel by your hip) and then never have to touch the switch again. It would be a very long stretch to say that there is a key bind missing, probably better classified as jumping the gun really. It's a switch in the cockpit that could and indeed should be able to be bound to an external switch for the cockpit builders, same as all the other switches. Even if it's a bit early, and thus “jumping the gun” it's nevertheless a missing keybind. ❧ ❧ Inside you are two wolves. One cannot land; the other shoots friendlies.

LeCuvier Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 The HMCS power switch (ON/OFF/BAT) is visible on the right hand console, but it has no function in the sim currently. It's in the center (OFF) position and you cannot switch it to any of the two other position with the mouse. The sim software obviously "bypasses" the switch. So currently we can't even create a key bind with a mod. Hopefully, ED will make the switch functional in a future update.

It won't work, if you copied any mod modifing/fixig cockpit switches functions (click integrity mods). It's a new switch, so any old mod won't have it mapped. It have been added in last line of clickabledata.lua. Edited October 4, 2020 by Foka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeCuvier Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 Keybinds for HMCS Power I don't know whether ED will ever provide keybinds for the HMCS Power switch. So for the happiness of those who need this now, I created a set of keybinds that should cater for everyone's needs. The following lines of code need to be added to the "default.lua". First, 3 basic commands for the use with pushbuttons: {down = 3001, cockpit_device_id = 75, value_down = 1.0, name = _('HMCS Power ON'), category = _('HMCS Power')}, {down = 3001, cockpit_device_id = 75, value_down = 0.0, name = _('HMCS Power OFF'), category = _('HMCS Power')}, {down = 3001, cockpit_device_id = 75, value_down = -1.0, name = _('HMCS Power BAT'), category = _('HMCS Power')}, If you only want the commands ON and OFF you can omit the 3rd line of course. Next, commands for use with a maintained switch: If you only want to implement the ON/OFF function, just add this line: {down = 3001, up = 3001, cockpit_device_id = 75, value_down = 1.0, value_up = 0.0, name = _('HMCS Power 2-Pos ON/OFF'), category = _('HMCS Power')},If you want to command all 3 positions with a 3-position switch like the Flaps switch on the TM-WH throttle, also add this line for the BAT/OFF command: {down = 3001, up = 3001, cockpit_device_id = 75, value_down = -1.0, value_up = 0.0, name = _('HMCS Power 2-Pos BAT/OFF'), category = _('HMCS Power')},This would probably be the choice of simpit builders. Personally I cannot see why somebody would want to put these commands on a TM-WH throttle; but if you want to do that then the command lines must be added to the file "Throttle - HOTAS Warthog.lua" (not to the file with the suffix "diff.lua"!!!).

kaltokri Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 14 months and no fix. I wanted to add it to my new Virpil ShaKa50 Panel HMS/OFF switch. I need to modify lua's. It makes me really sad. Such things are easy to implement. I can't understand it!

LeCuvier Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 (edited) The HMCS Power commands are actually added to the stock file "default.lua" (in stable and Open Beta) now and you can bind them. They have essentially provided the bindings I proposed in an earlier post, with slightly different naming. They have not added them to the file "Throttle - HOTAS Warthog.lua" which means that you cannot bind them to the TM Warthog throttle. That makes sense of course because the switches on this device are all used for other functions. I have bound the HMCS POWER ON and OFF commands to a rocker switch on my DSD Button Box. PS: I found that ED have added a fair number of other bindings to "default.lua", bindings that were previously available for the TM Warthog throttle only.
