reported Many keybinds for radio is reversed

[unhappytroll]

Found it while making MATRIC deck.

UHF radio in particular. Increase and decrease keybinds totally reversed there.

additionally, keybind "LCtrl+LShift+R" not doing anything at all, knob 1 Mhz cannot be rotated by it.

This was reported earlier:

This was not. It is now. Thanks for the heads up.

UHF Radio 1MHz and UHF Radio 50KHz Decrease and Increase are swapped and the default assignment for 1MHz Decrease doesn't work, as mentioned above.

It would be nice to see that with such high quality campaigns coming out to support the Huey that somebody at ED cared enough to correct the code for the radios.

Issue reported already, as mentioned above.

Thanks for the heads up. Both issues reported.

I'm not sure what was done about it (EDIT: UHF reportedly fixed in 2.8.1.34437), I checked NAV-COMM (aka VOR/ILS), VHF AM, FM and UHF and currently, only VHF AM bindings are reversed. These:

All volume bindings seem to be OK.

Thanks, @virgo47. Issue reported.

Anything done about this yet? Seems not too difficult a solution. Swap the binds.

[FredOfMBOX]

This is still an issue. THe binds that say "decrease" actually increase, and the binds that say "increase" actually decrease. 

And "UHF 1MHz Increase", which is bound by default to LCtrl-LShift-R, doesn't do anything. This is probably something else intercepting it, but I can't figure out what.

And a simple Lua change would fix it. If I knew it is helpful, I'd do it, but if it just waited in a queue for another x years, it's a waste of time. ED could benefit from donated fixes for simple things perhaps. Sure, they'd have to be checked - but probably just visual code diff review would suffice for many annoying little things like this.

@Flappie Would ED consider this for trivial stuff? I bet 9/10 fixes of this kind would be beneficial and the other 10% would be harmless and fixed in the next iteration or something. I know how much faster it is to review a change and say "looks good to me" than to think it through, explore, do it, and test.

I've just bumped the report with this fix I've just made.

If you want to use it, put this file into: .\DCS World\Mods\aircraft\Uh-1H\Cockpit\Scripts

clickabledata.lua

Interesting... I assumed just the names would be swapped - but this seems like it can also fix some reversed mouse switchology from here, I assume?

I'll test it in the coming days... oh, scrap that! I'm starting DCS right now...

@Flappie You started at the right end of the problem. I can confirm, that in the issue I linked in this comment, your patch fixes all the obvious bugs: 1) VHF COMM frequency mouse wheel behavior, 2) UHF freq. rotaries mouse wheel, 3) UHF volume even... Great!

One more thing seems to need a fix after all:

These actions have inverted names - but the clickable switchology seems OK. So this needs to be fixed as a downstream problem - I assume only in the lua files in Input directory (a few of them, yes). Because your fix corrects those in the cockpit - so that's the right thing to do. But half of your fixes seems to fortunately also fix the "inverted names", but this other set of names is really inverted. I hope I'm not confusing you any more then myself.

tl;dr: Your fix is right as it is (and I approve it wholeheartedly), but a different set of bindings really has switched names.

Thank you. I've added this to the report.
