Hi guys,

is it possible to set up a button for the f16 to centre the radar antenna?

Vertically

Yes, if you are willing to add this line to the file "default.lua":

{down = hotas_commands.THROTTLE_ANT_ELEV_AXIS, value_down =  0.0, cockpit_device_id = devices.HOTAS, name = _('ANT ELEV Knob - Center'), category = {_('Throttle Grip'), _('HOTAS')}},

The zero value centers the axis vertically. I simply copied the line for the axis, replaced the "action" with a "down" expression and added the "value_down" expression. You can do this with all axis commands in all modules I have tried. You have to find the right value by trial and error as the axis range definitions vary.

Thanks that works really well!

@LeCuvier this would be the equivalent on the F/A-18 then ?

 

Centre Antenna

{   down = hotas_commands.THROTTLE_ELEVATION_CONTROL_AXIS, value_down =  0.0, cockpit_device_id = devices.HOTAS, name = _('Centre Radar Elevation Control'),        category = {_('Throttle Grip'), _('HOTAS')}},

hmmm i have tried a few different values 0 seems to have no effect, any number or fraction sends the antenna all the way to the top, any negative number/fraction  all the way to the bottom ?

you are out of luck here, because the Hornet's antenna elevation axis does not set an elevation value. Instead, it sets the speed at which the antenna will go up or down. There has been quite a bit of discontent about this, but apparently that's how the real thing works.

Hey guys. Have tried to get this to work for a few hours and seem to be spinning my wheels. Testing out Quaggles input command injector mod with Munkwolf's Community Keybinds.

First, my assumption is that I should see all of the community keybinds in the game that I see in the default.lua file, after the mod has been installed. If my assumption is wrong, please let me know. At this point, I have not tried to create any custom bindings myself. In my example, I'm looking at the F-14B module and focusing on the TACAN keybinds. Specifically wanting to test out the Mode Normal/Inverse and X/Y with 'or else' binds so I only need single throw switches to save on inputs.

Followed the instructions for setting up Open Mod Manager and adding the mods in what is the appropriate location, as best I can tell. Both mods are installed. In DCS, I don't see any of the additional keybinds for the F-14 that are in the community keybinds, default.lua file. Checked the dcs.log and am not seeing anything related.

Where am I going wrong? File paths are shown in the screenshots below. dcs.log is attached

Thank you

Hi! Have you tested that Quaggles' file goes to the correct place? It's easy to test. Uninstall the mod. Find the original core file. Rename it, then reapply the mod, and check the file is there. It worked on the first try for me.
As for the Munkwolf repository, I did not bother to make a mod of it, as they are bypassed if I uninstall Quaggles'. I just followed the instructions to the letter and manually copied them to the correct folders.
Cheers!

Manually installing the files worked but it doesn't seem that Open Mod Manager is working for some reason.

Which files? You mean the Quaggles file or the Munkwolf folders?
If you mean Quaggles, it's it puts the file in the wrong place. The mod does not work out of the box with OMM.

I manually added the Quaggles files to the DCS folder per the instructions on GitHub and the Munkwolf files to the saved games folder, not using OMM at all. Very glad it’s working but I’m obviously missing key points of using OMM.

I have had no problem with the Quaggles mod in OMM.

Try the attached.

@ITR1102 Looking at the OMM screenshot you posted I think you downloaded the entire Github repository as a zip instead of downloading the release zip (DCS-Input-Command-Injector-Quaggles.zip) which is formatted to be OMM/OVGME compatible: https://github.com/Quaggles/dcs-input-command-injector/releases/tag/1.0.12.

That's exactly what happened. It was incredibly simple after using the right zip file. Thanks for the help guys
