Duplicated orange lines in Options/Controls due to inconsistent binding definition for Compass Course


Recommended Posts

Posted

In Controls/Options, the bindings for Compass Course show to pairs of duplicated orange lines. This is due to inconsistent parameters of the "value_down" between the "default.lua" files under "\joystick" vs "\keyboard". If you use the bindings for keyboard, the compass ring will therefore rotate slower than if you use the binding for pushbuttons. The attachment shows what it looks like in Controls/Options.

Here are the lines in the "default.lua" under "\joystick":

{pressed = device_commands.Button_18, cockpit_device_id = devices.CONTROLS, value_pressed = -1.0, name = _('Input.SpitfireLFMkIX.compass_minus'), category = _('Front Dash')},
{pressed = device_commands.Button_18, cockpit_device_id = devices.CONTROLS, value_pressed = 1.0,  name = _('Input.SpitfireLFMkIX.compass_plus'), category = _('Front Dash')},

And the lines from "default.lua" under "\keyboard":

{combos = {{key = 'C', reformers = {'RAlt'}}}, pressed = device_commands.Button_18, cockpit_device_id = devices.CONTROLS, value_pressed = -0.25, name = _('Input.SpitfireLFMkIX.compass_minus'), category = _('Front Dash')},
{combos = {{key = 'C', reformers = {'RCtrl'}}}, pressed = device_commands.Button_18, cockpit_device_id = devices.CONTROLS, value_pressed = 0.25,  name = _('Input.SpitfireLFMkIX.compass_plus'), category = _('Front Dash')},

The values  for "value_pressed" are 4 times higher for pushbuttons compared to keyboard. We should not have different values for bindings with the same name, as this produces duplicated orange lines which confuse users.

I suggest that the values be made the same, 1.0 and -1.0 should be acceptable.
