Anyone added the position switches LUA entries?

[KungFu]

So I have a warthog throttle until VKB puts there's out and I HATE T.A.R.G.E.T with a passion.  I remember having to add all the 2/3 position switches to the Harrier back when I flew it but someone was nice enough to compile all of them and it was a cut/paste job on my part.

Has anyone done this yet for the Apache?  Add.....ED why don't you do this?

I've never used TARGET, mainly because I just can't be bothered with it. Why on earth did you need to do the Harrier's 3-position switches manually though? It's one of the few aircraft that actually DID do it right. LOL

Look in the Harrier's control bindings, and filter the list to "Joystick Switch Abstractions." They're all in there I believe. For example, the flaps can be CRUISE Else AUTO for up on the switch, and STOL Else AUTO for down. If not in either of those positions you get AUTO. Works fine on my Warthog.

Probably a bit late to tell you that now though.

Sadly, such abstractions haven't made their way into the Apache (yet.) Having said that, there aren't too many to do if you intend to do it manually in TARGET. For the pilot you'll probably only ever use it for the NVS Mode, though you could add the 2 for lighting, and the CPG only has the LMT Mode switch and the IAT Polarity as far as I can see.

You probably wanna have a look here:

https://github.com/Quaggles/dcs-input-command-injector

And here, I'm confident @Munkwolf will add keybinds.

I got the Harrier on pre-order before all the abstractions and really haven't flown it much at all since, good to know that added all of them     TARGET f's up everything eventually lol.  For example DCS or TARGET doesn't seem to read the throttle position correctly on startup (so hot starts are troublesome) when using TARGET Virtual Device vs just the throttle. (just one of the things)   Yes the check box is checked in settings  

Yeah I know there are only a few switches like that in the 64, thank goodness....maybe I can look at the LUAs from the Harrier and translate over to 64.
