[SOLVED] Course Switch Functionality

"Updated: Changed Course Knob to Course Switch functionality"

With the update, the course switch functionalty has been improved. Now it works fine, if you use the mouse to turn the switch. If I bind it to a momentarily switch (left / middle / right), it spins around for ever, even after returning the switch to the middle position (spring loaded). It seems, that it does not recognizes the "middle" position as "of" or "stop".

Surely the system would adjust it's self regaurdless of EHSD setting?  A good question for SME or Documentation.
Thanks for the info.

Here is what im seeing. With CCW and CW bound to my right and left arrow keys . look at the CRS switch. It will barely move and set the course in to an infant rotation. But when selected with the mouse it will stop.  https://youtu.be/_RR4KYaK2-s

OK so yes the CRS switch was corrected from an encoder type to a MOM(ON) - OFF - MOM(ON). Holding will bring up the UFC CRS option. But you guys are saying that the keybind sticks the CRS switch into ON and does not recenter on release?

 

Know and use all the capabilities in your airplane. If you don't, sooner or later, some guy who does use them all will kick your ass.

Yes.
There should be an "OFF" or "Center" command.  Either mappable on the front end or coded on the back end in the switch.
So the switch should like the Course switch in the F18C.

Guys, I have fixed this issue! I tried to assign a 3 position momentary switch to the course selector (like we have in the DCS module) but it would constantly keep rotating the course.

 

Here is how I fixed it:

 

In the JOYSTICK DEFAULT.LUA I replaced these 2 lines under the NAVIGATION panel section:

 

{down = iCommandHSI_CourseRotaryLeft,                                                                name = _('INS COURSE SET CW'),                    category = _('Navigation Control')},
    {down = iCommandHSI_CourseRotaryRight,                                                                 name = _('INS COURSE SET CCW'),                    category = _('Navigation Control')}, 

 

I replaced the 2 lines above with these 2 :

 

{down = inst_commands.Knob_Course, down = inst_commands.Knob_Course,    cockpit_device_id = devices.NAV_INS,    value_down =  -0.5, value_up = 0,       name = _('COURSE SELECTOR CCW'),                                        category = _('Navigation Control')},
        {down = inst_commands.Knob_Course, down = inst_commands.Knob_Course,    cockpit_device_id = devices.NAV_INS,    value_down =   0.5, value_up = 0,       name = _('COURSE SELECTOR CW'),                                         category = _('Navigation Control')},

 

Then in the KEYBOAD default.lua I removed the top 2 lines that say: 

 

{down = iCommandHSI_CourseRotaryLeft,                                                                name = _('INS COURSE SET CW'),                    category = _('Navigation Control')},
    {down = iCommandHSI_CourseRotaryRight,                                                                 name = _('INS COURSE SET CCW'),                    category = _('Navigation Control')},

 

and replaced it with this:

 

 {down = inst_commands.Knob_Course,    cockpit_device_id = devices.NAV_INS,    value_down = 0,       name = _('COURSE SELECTOR CENTER'),                                     category = _('Navigation Control')},

 

Then, I use RS Mapper to assign a keyboard command when I release a momentary switch (position back to center). Mine is L-SHIFT+9 and I assigned that as the command for the COURSE SELECTOR CENTER command under the DCS Control options. 

 

It may be a roundabout way to get the job done but at least this works and no more constantly rotating course selection.

Hi guys,

 

as I am not a friend of external tools, I tried based on Bbows solution and came up with this, so you don't need RS Mapper or a seperate Center command:

 

    {down = inst_commands.Knob_Course, up = inst_commands.Knob_Course, cockpit_device_id = devices.NAV_INS, value_down = -0.5, value_up = 0, name = _('COURSE SELECTOR CCW'), category = _('Navigation Control')},
    {down = inst_commands.Knob_Course, up = inst_commands.Knob_Course, cockpit_device_id = devices.NAV_INS, value_down = 0.5, value_up = 0, name = _('COURSE SELECTOR CW'), category = _('Navigation Control')},

 

You can replace the iCommandHSI_CourseRotary-commands in both default.lua-files (joystick and keyboard) and bind as you whish.
