[splash]

Hi, is there any chance to add a Jester option to operate the MSL OPTIONS switch in RIO

cockpit?

thanks.

Hi, i know that this isn't realistic, but currently i don't think you can do otherwise without getting a human rio :

You can add most of the RIO keybinds on the pilot keybinds (that's what was done for the pilot-controlled lantirn).

 

To do so, you need to spot the keybind's name you're searching for, by checking RIO controls in DCS (as for now let's say "Missile Option: Phoenix Active else normal").

Now search for it after opening "default.lua" that can be found under "C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\aircraft\F14\Input\F-14B-RIO\keyboard"

 

You should find "{cockpit_device_id=devices.WEAPONS, down = device_commands.WEAP_Missile_Option, value_down = -1, up = device_commands.WEAP_Missile_Option, value_up = 0, name = _('Missile Option: Phoenix Active else normal'), category = _('Weapons')},"

 

Copy and paste that after opening "default.lua" that can be found under the pilot input folder "C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\aircraft\F14\Input\F-14B-Pilot\keyboard"

 

And it's done, you can control that switch even if you are the pilot (you only have to assign a keybind in DCS like you would do with any other switches).

Thank you for the suggestion, I concur, it would be a great addition, just like "next launch".

Both are being tracked now and hopefully we can add them soon.

Thanks to both.
