Consistent switch logic + rotary switches

[Northstar98]

Hi everyone,

 

Firstly, would it be possible for the Tomcat to have consistent switch logic implemented, for 3 position switches?

For the overwhelming most part, the Tomcat's switch logic follows the same logic as the majority of other switches in DCS; a right mouse button moves switches up/forward/right/increment/clockwise and a left mouse button to move switches down/backwards/decrement/anti-clockwise.

However, there are some notable exceptions, mostly in the RIO cockpit:

Pilot cockpit:

• Kneel switch
• Emergency flight hydraulics switch
• Altimeter mode switch (while this switch rotates, it only has 2 momentary positions and a centre, the 2 positions are more left and right and at the moment the left mouse button moves it right and a right mouse button moves it left).
• AN/ARC-159 mode selector knob (while this switch rotates, it only has 3 positions. Left click moves it forwards and right click moves it backwards, which is the opposite to the AN/ARC-159 function selector knob).

RIO cockpit:

• Altimeter mode switch (see above).
• Target size switch
• MLC filter switch
• Aspect switch
• Closure velocity scale switch
• Mechanical fuse selector switch
• Missile option switch
• IFF mode 1, mode 2, mode 3/A and mode C switches
• IFF mode 4 monitor switch (audio/light)
• IFF RAD test switch
• IFF ident switch

All other 3 position switches, in both cockpits, have the right mouse button to move forwards/upwards/right/increment/clockwise logic.

 

Secondly, would it be possible to have rotary switches (with say, more than 10 positions) use the mouse wheel to move clockwise and anti-clockwise (mouse wheel forwards to move clockwise and mouse wheel backwards to move anti-clockwise)?

Namely for the AN/ARC-159 and -182 preset channel selectors, the AN/ARA-63 channel sector, both TACAN channel selectors and the master test switch.

 

Thanks.

Solid, small, and easy QoL improvements. I like it.
