Can do this with Throttle?

[peirof]

Hi,

 

I would like to use one of the 2-position switches, to raise and lower the landing gear.

But I do not know how to do it.

The first thing to comment that I am using GREMLIN.
With the TARJET software it could be done, in fact, I had it configured like this.

I want to use one of the 2-position switches, to lower the landing gear, specifically the lower left, LABELED (EAC / ARM / OFF).

 

Both GREMLIN and Windows Administrator only detect keystrokes when the Swiches is in EAC position.

Is there a way to be able to use the two positions of the Switch, using GREMLIN:

 

   + Switch ON (ARM / EAC) - LCntrl + G (Landing gear up)
   + Switch OFF (ARM / OFF) - LShift + G (Landing gear down)

Mmm....

 

I think I have found part of the problem with TARJET by chance.

The problems have been solved, or so I think, by directly connecting the Hotas, to the USB connectors on the motherboard.
Until now I had them connected through a USB HUB

I think I can help you there.

After lots of problems with TARGET I made the switch to Gremlin and haven't had any problems at all since I found advice how to configure switches and buttons. With Gremlin you can also simulate 3-way buttons, it's extremly flexible once you have it figured out.

 

The trick is in using macros. For 2way toggle switches you need to create 2 virtual buttons and set them to alternating active/inactive states. Additionally you have to set the correct conditions. I will just post some screenshots of my setup.

OMG, if you just set your throttle up to run the TARGET DX1-128 enable script that makes every Warthog throttle switch\hat\button position a DX# press you can simply go into the DCS Settings panel and hit the switch for EVERY function you want!

Of course, if it works. I can’t speak for the OP but I had massive problems getting TARGET to work reliably. With Gremlin I had to do this setup exactly once for each toggle switch. That was a little bit of work but now I can use this as a template for everything I want to do including long button presses, shift states and macros.

 

 If Target works, fine. It just seemed to me that since the OP has some problems with target maybe trying an alternative would be a good idea.

The problem o have see with gremlin its de on/off schitches

Do you mean you can’t get on/off switches to work with Gremlin? Look at the pictures that I posted in the other thread. I have On/off switches working absolutely reliably. If my explanation is too short, I will try better. (Sorry, non-native speaker). But I would do so only if you would like to try it. I don’t want to get on anybody’s nerves talking about Gremlin.

I think its great to have multiple solutions, and thank you for posting that Gremlin setup post! You may have missed his follow up post (I did)..

Yes, I had seen his post, he just posted it about 10 seconds before I posted my initial reply.

 

But I also believe it's better to have different solutions to choose from. Target simply didn't work for me, so I had no choice besides Gremlin. It took me quite some time to get this stuff right, I thought it would be a shame if others also had to figure it out on their own.
