Now that I think of it, maybe a DLC malfunction could have heavy consequences for flightcontrol and maybe it malfunctioned sometimes, so maybe that was the reason the engineers added an extra key, so that pilot could also instantly disable it again DCS Wishlist: 2K11 Krug SA-4 Ganef SAM, VR-TrackIR icons next to player names in score-chart PvP: 100+ manual player-kills with Stingers on a well known dynamic campaign server - 100+ VTOL FARP landings & 125+ hours AV-8B, F-14 crew, royal dutch airforce F-16C - PvP campaigns since 2013 DCS server-admins: please adhere to a common sense gaming industry policy as most server admins throughout the industry do.

RustBelt Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 For real pilots it's right on the stick by their thumb, and that button also works as a countermeasure release when the gear is retracted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got some different flap options setup in the keybinds project. I use the 'up/down else half' options with the WH throttle flaps lever. https://github.com/Munkwolf/dcs-community-keybinds/blob/8f050e850223b02a60454d4f703a5d63aeedee80/InputCommands/F14/Input/F-14B-Pilot/joystick/default.lua#L111 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comrade Doge Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 (edited) I see the patch notes mentioned this newly added control, Maneuver flaps potentiometer but I am confused since we already have the DLC / Maneuver flaps retract binding which, in my limited testing, seems to do the exact same thing, controlling the "maneuver flaps". I have attached 2 images using both the new bind and the old one, and the result is identical so far (first pic is the new axis, the 2nd one is the old axis we had available)... I'd appreciate details on what is different with this new binding. Edited May 18, 2022 by Comrade Doge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd appreciate details on what is different with this new binding. People wanted a binding for their 3 position switches. As far as the implications are concerned, if you used the flap leaver the flaps will remain in maneuvering mode, if you use the dlc wheel, the computer can operated the flaps still. So for instance if you were in burner the new flap binding will prevent wings from getting past like 45deg or so, where in the old one the computer would collapse them and continue to sweep. AFAIK there isn't anything notable beyond that though. And as HB said, it's unrealistic for pilots to use the flap lever for partial flaps when their thumb is right there.

RodWan Olds Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 I have yet to get home and look at the files, but you can't get full extension on the maneuver flaps with the flap hadle before the aux extend, so it may be that HB has written a binding that basically is just a second DLC aft binding. In that case my previous statement is incorrect. I am unsure if the computer will override the DLC wheel and continue to sweep if you were actively holding it, but that would be one way to run the binding.

Dentedend10 Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 Great document, thank you for it! I’ve jammed the flaps with overspeeding before. I tried to use the emergency flap up keybind but it didn’t retract the flaps. Is there more to its use?
