Mange Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 I have a Virpil grip with a trigger guard that only recognize when you have it “CLOSE”… Is’t possible to get like “CLOSE” when the the button is on then “OPEN” when the button is released?

Zyll Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 In the virpil software (the one that you use to update firmware) take the physical button mapping for the flip trigger, create a new logical mapping, but have it be an INVERTED button. That way, when you pull it, it will cause one logical button press, and when you don't have it activated, it results in a different logical button press. Then you can map both states separately in DCS. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zyll Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 Hmmm, I'm going to guess it won't work unfortunately, as the programming would be to the base not the grip. That's just a best guess though. If it doesn't work, a third party software like Joystick Gremlin might accomplish what you are looking for, I don't use it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JesseJames38 Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 I can help you edit the LUA files in order to make it into a toggle switch. May have to fiddle with the order for the code to get what you want to open/close at the correct operations These files will be located in your game install drive (DCS World open beta/mods/aircraft/ah-64d/input/AH-64D_PLT or CPT/joystick. ) Add his command line in between line 70 and 71, If the commands are backards from what you want. All you should need to do is swap the UP and Down values Just copy and past as it is written down. This will add a new controller bind in the game nammed "open close toggle" { down = hotas_commands.CYCLIC_TRIGGER_GUARD, up = hotas_commands.CYCLIC_TRIGGER_GUARD, cockpit_device_id = devices.HOTAS_INPUT, value_down = 0.0, value_up 1.0, name = _('Weapons Trigger Guard - OPEN/CLOSE Toggle'), category = {_('Cyclic Stick'), _('HOCAS')}}, 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magic Man Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 Joystick Gremlin would allow you to use both positions as distinct binds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
