Thank you!
I see, will look into this. Unfortunately it seems it doesn't have a middle position. That's what I was afraid of. I was thinking there might be other places to look.

Cheers!

This works for 3-way switch for flaps in the Su-25T, not really tested in any other FC3 with 3 position Flap lever.

{down = iCommandPlaneFlapsOff, up = iCommandPlaneFlaps, name = _('Flaps Up else Centre (3-way Switch)'), category = {_('Systems'), _('Custom')}},
{down = iCommandPlaneFlapsOn, up = iCommandPlaneFlaps, name = _('Flaps Landing else Centre (3-way Switch)'), category = {_('Systems'), _('Custom')}},

Basically you have a "Flaps UP" command, and when that key is released the "Flaps UP/Down Toggle" command is used to get the Lever to the centre position.

And you have a "Flaps Landing" or all the way down position, and when that is released the "Flaps UP/Down Toggle" command is used to get the Lever to the centre position.

Thanks! I'll look into it. I "semi" sorted it another way. I use the three position lever on my Warthog throttle for up/down and landing position. Then I discovered that the module actually has an up/down on throttle grip itself. So it actually works out.
Cheers!

Hi

I've made the keybinds for the Chinook CDU and MFD, please feel free to add them to the project. I still don't know how to work github

Hi all, I have a problem with the Anti-Collision binds for the A-10C 2. I've set up a toggle switch and assigned the "On" and "Off" positions. When I move the physical switch the switch moves in the cockpit in the correct sense but it doesn't trigger the anti-col lights to come on when I switch to the external view. If I click the switch in the cockpit with the mouse or use the default toggle bind it works as it should. Any ideas?

Hope that made sense! Thanks!

The code for the A10C and 2 is very old now, getting on for 15 years probably. I don't think much changed from when it was a standalone game, to being part of DCS world.
The switches are written differently to most modules.
Most modules have a device ID and a button code for each switch, then the switch has a value of either 0 or 1, sometimes 0, 1, 2 if it's 3 position. Sometimes -1,0,1 is used for 3 position. There's not really any consistency between modules.

However, the A10C seems to have separate button codes for on and off, then each of these codes could have any value set to them really.

I managed to get the anti-skid switch working by looking in the autostart file

{down = 3028, cockpit_device_id = 38, value_down = 0.0, name = ('Anti Skid Off'), category = {('Custom'), _('Landing gear panel')}},
{down = 3032, cockpit_device_id = 38, value_down = 1.0, name = ('Anti Skid On'), category = {('Custom'), _('Landing gear panel')}},

problem is that the "ON" code isn't in the devices.lua and was just luck it was in the autostart file.

I tried to do the same for several other switches, making a mission file with triggers that pressed every button code and multiple values, but didn't find anything.
Even the auto-start file just uses the toggle bind for turning on the lights and SAS switches.

The best you can do is set the off bind when your switch is off, that seems to work, and set the toggle bind for your switches on position.
