Lack of Fuel Dump Sw (special) (ON/OFF)

[Xupicor]

I wanted to map the Fuel Dump Switch (ON/OFF) to a toggle switch ( ON/OFF ), and I did, however, in-game that binding is expecting a momentary press of a switch in order to toggle the in-cockpit switch. What I want is something that works like "APU Control Sw (special) (ON/OFF)" and other bindings that will keep the in-cockpit switch in an ON position as long as my hardware switch is also in an ON position.

 

At the moment I can (have to) engage other applications to get the desired behaviour, even though for some other switches the option is available out of the box in-game.

This is very easy to fix which makes people wonder why ED does not provide these bindings early on. If you want to help yourself you need to add this line to the "default.lua":

{down = fuel_commands.DumpSw, up = fuel_commands.DumpSw, cockpit_device_id = devices.FUEL_INTERFACE, value_down =  1.0, value_up = -1.0, name = _('Fuel Dump Switch 2-Pos ON/OFF'), category = {_('Left Console'), _('Fuel Control Panel')}},

I recommend you read the tutorial on this post before you edit the .lua file: https://forums.eagle.ru/topic/270080-lua-editing-for-additional-key-binds-tutorial-no-discussion-here-please/?tab=comments#elControls_4646929_menu

The fuel dump is like that because it's magnetically held in place so it can switch off when the fuel level reach bingo.

Thank you both for your answers. That cleared things up and taught me something new too.
