Autopilot "ATT Hold - ON else OFF" and "ALT Hold ON else OFF" option

[V0RTEX]

Hey, is it possible to make extra options for autopilot attitude and altitude hold switch, so that it would work the same way as the autopilot roll 3 - pos switch? Or like the dogfight 3 - pos switch. Because warthog throttle autopilot switch does not register the middle pos, just the fwd and aft. Btw, thank you for the awesome experience you are making available for all the mortals on this planet

It's certainly possible and I haven't waited for ED to do it. Just added 2 lines to "default.lua".

For the F-16 pitch auto-pilot add these 2 lines of code to "default.lua":

{down = control_commands.ApPitchAlt_EXT, up = control_commands.ApPitchAlt_EXT, cockpit_device_id = devices.CONTROL_INTERFACE, value_down =  1.0, value_up = -1.0,	name = _('Autopilot PITCH Switch ALT HOLD/OFF'), category = {_('Instrument Panel'), _('FLCS')}},
{down = control_commands.ApPitchAtt_EXT, up = control_commands.ApPitchAlt_EXT, cockpit_device_id = devices.CONTROL_INTERFACE, value_down = -1.0,	value_up = -1.0, name = _('Autopilot PITCH Switch ATT HOLD/OFF'), category = {_('Instrument Panel'), _('FLCS')}},

The keyboard default.lua or the joystick's default.lua to edit?

 

under DCS World\Config\Input\Aircrafts\Default or DCS World\Config\Input\Aircrafts\Common

the "default.lua" under "...DISK:\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\aircraft\F-16C\Input\F-16C\joystick"
