Solution SmukY Posted June 17, 2021 Solution Posted June 17, 2021 (edited) Between left panel and front instrument panel Edited June 17, 2021 by SmukY wrong pictures Helicopters don't fly, they just subdue the air. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Razorback Posted June 17, 2021 Posted June 17, 2021 Other light switches are also located on the left front panel (above the landing gear panel).

Yes, I was thinking about landing light, taxi is fixed for sure. Any idea? Mostly it is controlled from the collective lever, here this part is inactive so maybe its EA feature ?

Yeah, it's on the landing light switch, on the panel with the landing gear/hydraulic gauges and autopilot. It has a position for on/off/retract (which also turns it off).

You can turn the landing light on, and then use control bindings to move it. It starts moving from retracted position, so you have to move it quite a bit before it is pointing forwards. The controls for the light are called "Pilot Headlight up/down/right/left". Edited June 25, 2021 by UncleZam Added control binding names. 1

The controls for just moving the light around are on the collective. But the switch on the right is used for turning on, turning off, and retracting the light.

In that case, it's as UncleZam said, it's a hat switch on the collective under pilot headlight or operator headlight (both control the same light).

LeLv30_Superbus Posted June 26, 2021 Posted June 26, 2021 I'm still looking for the Control/Off/Retract switch in the Adjust Controls -menu so I can map it somewhere. (And all the pilot sight switches on/off, sync, brightness and... there were a few more for the pilot's sight). Anyone? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Click to view pictures of my deskpit
corn322 Posted June 26, 2021 Posted June 26, 2021 It looks like there are many controls for all the lights... except the steerable headlight. Maybe "Spot Light Control Button Right" under "Collective Stick" category?
LeLv30_Superbus Posted June 26, 2021 Posted June 26, 2021 (edited) Nope, I already tried Spot Light Control Button Right. Landing light 3-pos switch is one of the many missing ones. I just learned there is a community project for this: https://github.com/Munkwolf/dcs-community-keybinds/tree/6f02282163ef3335ed462823795c22e59c977a97 Edited June 26, 2021 by LeLv30_Superbus [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Click to view pictures of my deskpit
LeLv30_Superbus Posted June 27, 2021 Posted June 27, 2021 Munkwolf's lua-code (link in previous post) works like charm. I can now bind everything to buttons in my cockpit, including the landing light switch. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Click to view pictures of my deskpit
