Well thought out controls (HORNET module level)


Recommended Posts

Posted

Please include more control options for switches and add axis for lights, Yaw Trim etc.

One example for comparison, HORNET module has 7 options for one switch:

 

FLIR Switch-Down
FLIR Switch-Off
FLIR Switch-On
FLIR Switch-STBY
FLIR Switch-Up

and most important
FLIR Switch-OFF\STBY
FLIR Switch-ON\STBY

 

The A10c Master switch has only 3 not very useful options:
Master switch ARM
Master switch TRAIN
Master switch SAFE

It would be better to have "Master switch ARM\SAFE" and "Master switch TRAIN\SAFE"

 

A10C II Tank Killer module is a real masterpiece, but control options are well below the level set by the person who created controls for HORNET.

I agree the Hog lacks a lot of bindings. I have added about 30 lines to my "default.lua" although some of those were created to help others.

For the master arm switch I created two lines that work as dukovac suggested:

{down = iCommandPlaneAHCPMasterArm, up = iCommandPlaneAHCPMasterSafe,name = _('Master switch 3-Pos ARM/SAFE'), category = _('Armament HUD Control Panel')},
{down = iCommandPlaneAHCPMasterTrain, up = iCommandPlaneAHCPMasterSafe, name = _('Master switch 3-Pos TRAIN/SAFE'), category = _('Armament HUD Control Panel')},

Personally I only use the first line because I don't need the "training"mode. So it requires only a simple maintained ON/OFF switch on my button box.

If you wanted to use the commands with the TM-WH throttle you'd need to add the line(s) to "Throttle - HOTAS Warthog.lua"

The big thing is 3 way flap switch enabled on default for me. I run a combined TARGET profile to enable all the 3 way positions for the TMWH throttle to use in the various modules. Before I could slide the Warthog UP/MVR, MVR/DN function into default but this doesn't seem to work anymore. Haven't tried since 2.7 though. Regardless flaps should be presented as 3 seperate UP, MVR, DN positions as well as UP/MVR, DN/MVR, and the current simple flaps up down toggle to cover the spectrum of controls

I can provide the lines of code if somebody wants them. It's easy.
