reported Canopy closing action inverted

[Arink429]

The action for the mapped command to close the canopy is inverted. Both the open and close command open the canopy. Only able to close using the mouse over the hand crank.

 

I edit: LCtrl+C closes the canopy too, but the as mentioned, the action when a switch is asigned to the joystick is inverted.

There is some weird conflict in the controls, I have that reported, once its corrected I will confirm its correct.

[Arink429]

Thanks, Nineline.

Not confirm.

 

My keybinds for opening and closing P-51 works fine just as before (LCtrl-C & LShift-C).

I can also open and close canopy using the mouse (mouse wheel).

 

There is some weirdness in CONTROL OPTIONS screen though. Both "Canopy Closing" and "Canopy Opening" are orange marked and have double entries. Popup says "Different actions have identical descriptions".

is a duplication in the control window (orange),  I have them bound correctly to buttons on my throttle (has worked fine since day one) and only canopy open works as intended.  Using the default keyboard buttons at present until resolved.

I have the same problem. Canopy open/close are present twice each in the controls options and colored in orange.

Screenshot didn't capture popup (orange) "Different actions have identical descriptions". Duplicated but empty. Again, I stress, opening and closing Canopy works fine for me.

I have the same problem. Both the open and close commands open the canopy. 2 of those duplicates are greyed out for the HOTAS, so I can only use the keyboard for now.

[Arink429]

It works fine if you press LCtrl+C. But if you asign the close canopy function to a device a (china hat switch forward in my case) it will open the canopy. The function is inverted if you use a switch asignement.

Same problem here, with the orange controls. Not only in the P-51 by the way. I have this in other modules too.

Is there a way for users to repair this themselves ?  I have this on more modules. Not only the P-51, but also the Gazelle, and probably others too.

The duplicate canopy entries in version 2.7 prevented the canopy open and close from working properly when using controller buttons.   Here is a fix that worked for me:

 

There appears to be a change for the 2.7 version of the Mods/aircraft/P-51D/Input/P-51D/keyboard/default.lua on lines #268 and #269 with regards to the canopy "Button_#".   This button# was changed from 4 -> 2.

 

For version 2.7,  I changed the joystick/default.lua file's canopy lines #263 and #264 from 4 -> 2 to match the keyboard file.  After this change, there were no duplicate canopy entries and the canopy now opens & closes properly using the controller buttons.   - Phil

My canopy open and close are all yellowed out? What happen they are also doubled key binding in there? No longer working for me they worked yesterday and today now they don't. even when they bined while yellow.

 

Thanks Phil that fixed it.

Phil's tip above works perfectly. I'm going to use it until official fix comes.

 

I guess it should apply to TF-51 as well.

[crousti]

thanks a lot to Phil's tip  that works fine !

While I'm too stupid to understand this, I just did what it says... and ik worked !  Thanks Phil !
ED: Fire you rprogrammer and hire Phil, or stop bugging DCS !  I have spoken.

 

[MarcT-NL]

After today's update (may 20th 2021) this still applies, sadly.

[MacEwan]

Can also confirm this is still a problem

[71st_Mastiff]

I have raised this issue again in the general bug forums under 2.7.

 

 

[MarcT-NL]

Yeah. After each update I edit the LUA-file again. Seems simple enough, but apparently it's not so easy to imply in an update...somehow...

that’s because probably; one of the devs has a locked lua file and it’s not updating probably a contaminated lua keeps getting uploaded into the updates.

June 17th 2021. Mega-update yesterday. Hind, Cyprus and much much more...  Just those pesky P-51 controlls seem realy too much. Editing LUA-files again.

I flew the P51 again for the first time in 2 months and was bitterly disappointed to see this still hasn't been fixed. Especially as there is a solution just above.  Come on ED - put some resources into doing some WW2 bug fixing for ALL the warbirds.  We don't need more aircraft while the existing stock is so badly supported. Change your priorities please.

According to when @NineLine posted above, it was reported way back in April. Given that it was already working and then something broke during a patch, means that the work needed here is not introducing a new feature, but fixing a mistake in a patch. Perhaps these things might get missed during regression testing, but surely once alerted to the problem, ED could take a look and rectify these newly introduced problems.

 

At present, the WW2 aircraft are slipping back further and further as new patches come out. I agree with you that the situation is particularly dire at the moment, and that priorities need to change. ED were willing to do that after the Viper release and the "DCS A beautiful mess" video response from the community. So we know they can do it! I truly hope that they can spare a fraction of that effort for DCS WW2.

[worldrecordaviator]

Yeah, this is one of the more irritating bugs of the Pony now.
