Sim Bandit AHCP, problems with two position switches

So I have set the AHCP up and it's for the most part functioning, except for the two way switches. They don't know which way is on, so it toggles from whatever mode I start in.

 

{down = iCommandPlaneAHCPMasterArm, up = iCommandPlaneAHCPMasterSafe, name = _('ALT Master switch ARM'), category = _('Special Simbandit')},
{down = iCommandPlaneAHCPMasterSafe, name = _('Master switch SAFE'), category = _('Armament HUD Control Panel')},
{down = iCommandPlaneAHCPMasterTrain, up = iCommandPlaneAHCPMasterSafe, name = _('ALT Master switch TRAIN'), category = _('Special Simbandit')},
{down = iCommandPlaneAHCPGUNPACArm, up = iCommandPlaneAHCPGUNSafe, name = _('ALT GUN/PAC switch ARM'), category = _('Special Simbandit')},
{down = iCommandPlaneAHCPGUNSafe, name = _('GUN/PAC switch SAFE'), category = _('Armament HUD Control Panel')},
{down = iCommandPlaneAHCPGUNArm, up = iCommandPlaneAHCPGUNSafe, name = _('ALT GUN/PAC switch GUNARM'), category = _('Special Simbandit')},
{down = iCommandPlaneAHCPLaserArm, up = iCommandPlaneAHCPLaserSafe, name = _('ALT LASER switch ARM'), category = _('Special Simbandit')},
{down = iCommandPlaneAHCPLaserSafe, name = _('LASER switch SAFE'), category = _('Armament HUD Control Panel')},
{down = iCommandPlaneAHCPLaserTrain, up = iCommandPlaneAHCPLaserSafe, name = _('ALT LASER switch TRAIN'), category = _('Special Simbandit')},
{down = iCommandPlaneAHCPTGPOnOff, up = iCommandPlaneAHCPTGPOnOff, value_down = 0.0, value_up = 1.0, name = _('ALT TGP switch ON/OFF'), category = _('Special Simbandit')},
{down = iCommandPlaneAHCPAltSCEBaro, up = iCommandPlaneAHCPAltSCERadar, value_down = 0.0, value_up = 1.0, name = _('ALT ALT SCE switch BARO'), category = _('Special Simbandit')},
{down = iCommandPlaneAHCPAltSCEDelta, name = _('ALT SCE switch DELTA'), category = _('Armament HUD Control Panel')},
{down = iCommandPlaneAHCPAltSCERadar, name = _('ALT SCE switch RADAR'), category = _('Armament HUD Control Panel')},
{down = iCommandPlaneAHCPHUDModeDayNight, up = iCommandPlaneAHCPHUDModeDayNight, value_down = 0.0, value_up = 1.0, name = _('ALT HUD Mode switch Day/Night'), category = _('Special Simbandit')},
{down = iCommandPlaneAHCPHUDModeNormSTBY, up = iCommandPlaneAHCPHUDModeNormSTBY, value_down = 0.0, value_up = 1.0, name = _('ALT HUD Mode switch NORM/STBY'), category = _('Special Simbandit')},
{down = iCommandPlaneAHCPCICUOnOff, up = iCommandPlaneAHCPCICUOnOff, value_down = 0.0, value_up = 1.0, name = _('ALT CICU switch ON/OFF'), category = _('Special Simbandit')},
{down = iCommandPlaneAHCPJTRSOnOff, up = iCommandPlaneAHCPJTRSOnOff, value_down = 0.0, value_up = 1.0, name = _('ALT JTRS switch ON/OFF'), category = _('Special Simbandit')},
{down = iCommandPlaneAHCPIFFCCOn, up = iCommandPlaneAHCPIFFCCTest, name = _('ALT IFFCC switch ON'), category = _('Special Simbandit')},
{down = iCommandPlaneAHCPIFFCCTest, name = _('IFFCC switch TEST'), category = _('Armament HUD Control Panel')},
{down = iCommandPlaneAHCPIFFCCOff, up = iCommandPlaneAHCPIFFCCTest, name = _('ALT IFFCC switch OFF'), category = _('Special Simbandit')},

 

It seems like the parts value_up and value_down are not functioning properly.

 

Example: I start in air, and in game cockpit TGP is ON, but on my controller TGP is OFF, so if I switch it to ON on the controller it goes to OFF in the in game cockpit.

 

Anyone know what I'm doing wrong here?

Those commands are not compatible with value_up and value_down.

 

I go over this exact problem and how to create commands that are compatible in this video.

Maybe this helps. Also I have posted a tutorial in the subforum "Input and Output", thread "How to set up toggle switches", post #214.

Thanks! Not working for me though, I get no control input at all (no trackIR, no keyboard, nothing). Here's what I'm trying to run, what am I missing?

 

{down = device_commands.Button_4, up = device_commands.Button_4, value_down = 0.0, value_up = 1.0, cockpit_device_id = devices.AHCP, name = _('ALT2 TGP switch ON/OFF'), category = _('Easy Simbandit')},
{down = device_commands.Button_6, up = device_commands.Button_6, value_down = 0.0, value_up = 1.0, cockpit_device_id = devices.AHCP, name = _('ALT2 HUD Mode switch Day/Night'), category = _('Easy Simbandit')},
{down = device_commands.Button_7, up = device_commands.Button_7, value_down = 0.0, value_up = 1.0, cockpit_device_id = devices.AHCP, name = _('ALT2 HUD Mode switch NORM/STBY'), category = _('Easy Simbandit')},
{down = device_commands.Button_8, up = device_commands.Button_8, value_down = 0.0, value_up = 1.0, cockpit_device_id = devices.AHCP, name = _('ALT2 CICU switch ON/OFF'), category = _('Easy Simbandit')},
{down = device_commands.Button_9, up = device_commands.Button_9, value_down = 0.0, value_up = 1.0, cockpit_device_id = devices.AHCP, name = _('ALT2 JTRS switch ON/OFF'), category = _('Easy Simbandit')},

Tried your TGP bit there 

{down = 3004, up = 3004, cockpit_device_id = 7, value_down = 1.0, value_up = -1.0, name = _('TGP switch 2-Pos ON/OFF'), category = _('Armament HUD Control Panel')},

and it works great!

 

What is 3004, and how did you find cockpit_device_id? Now I want the same thing for the Hud Day/Night, hud Norm/Stby, CICU on/off and JTRS on/off but I can't find their cockpit_device_id

Been a while since I made the video so maybe it isn't clear, but instead of "device_commands.Button_4", you need "3004", instead of "device_commands.Button_6" you need 3006, ect. You also don't need multiple bindings for a 2 way switch, it should be a single binding that tells it to turn off when your toggle switch is off.

 

In the same folder you find clickabledata, you will find a list of cockpit device IDs.

The command code is equal to the button number (in "clickabledata.lua") + 3000 (as defined in "command_defs.lua"). The numeric cockpit_device_id is defined in "devices.lua". Both files are under "...\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\aircraft\A-10C_2\Cockpit\Scripts". Give it a try for Hud Day/Night!

Note: most modules allow you to use the mnemonic device ID (like "devices.AHCP"). But the Hog (both) and the Black Shark require the numeric one.
