LeCuvier Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 Yes, in fact ED missed something. I added the missing line of code below to "default.lua" and now I can cage and uncage the artificial horizon: {down = device_commands.Button_8, cockpit_device_id = devices.AH, value_down = -1.0, name = _('Horizon Uncage'), category = _('Front Dash')}, However, the two commands are reversed. So the names of the two commands should be swapped! I also find that the animation is weird. In order to go from OFF (= Caged) to ON (= Uncaged), you need to turn the knob counter-clockwise the long way around. I would bet that that's wrong. @NineLine: Please report! 3 2 LeCuvier Windows 10 Pro 64Bit | i7-4790 CPU |16 GB RAM|SSD System Disk|SSD Gaming Disk| MSI GTX-1080 Gaming 8 GB| Acer XB270HU | TM Warthog HOTAS | VKB Gladiator Pro | MongoosT-50 | MFG Crosswind Pedals | TrackIR 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

River Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 Same, let us cage and uncage with a button command. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is an uncage button (called "cage button" but it uncages the instrument) but none for caging. On 10/7/2022 at 10:22 AM, River said: Same, let us cage and uncage with a button command. Indeed. A toggle would be nice. But at least they should add a button for caging. But a toggle would spare a button. And some HOTAS systems have encoder dials with a push. So the encoder dial could adjust and the push could cage/uncage which makes it easier to memorize.

Hi LC, does this work as a single button being assigned to cage and uncage? Would it be possible to get you to type out a line of code for someone that is computer stupid to make a single assigned hotas button do that? Or anyone else reading this for that matter. thanks!!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alternatively, you can use a maintained ON/OFF switch and bind Cage to the ON position of the switch, and Uncage to the OFF position. Only ED can provide a Cage/Uncage toggle. And, I guess you can create it with some external software like TARGET (?)

Gringo Escobar Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 (edited) a buddy of mine figured it out for me. if you replace the AH (Artificial Horizon) line in the default folder with this, it operates as a toggle and a single button cages and uncages it. { down = device_commands.Button_8, up = device_commands.Button_8, cockpit_device_id = devices.AH, value_down = 1.0, value_up = -1.0, name = _('Horizon Cage Toggle'), category = _('Front Dash')}, works perfect in my SimPit. Hopefully, this helps someone else out as well Edited December 20, 2023 by Gringo Escobar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
