Missing bind for the altimeter pneu/elec switch

[ry-ballz]

I don't know what the switch is called, but it's the one on the altimeter that changes from pneu to elec.

You are referring to the Altimeter Mode Switch. Yes, that's missing. I have fixed it for myself by adding two lines of code to "default.lua". That creates bindings for a 3-position switch.
ED obviously missed this one. In my opinion it's a legitimate bug.

Would also be nice if autostartup switched it back to elec.  Autostart isn't quite complete.

Can you post up the lines you added? I have a full cockpit built, and really hate touching my mouse for anything.

These 2 lines work with a maintained 3-position switch ON1-OFF-ON2 (like the FLAPS switch on the Warthog throttle):

{down = alt_commands.ELEC, up = alt_commands.ELEC, value_down = -1.0, value_up = 0.0, cockpit_device_id = devices.AAU34, name = _('Altimeter Mode Switch ELEC/OFF'), category = {_('Instrument Panel')}},
{down = alt_commands.PNEU, up = alt_commands.PNEU, value_down = 1.0, value_up = 0.0, cockpit_device_id = devices.AAU34, name = _('Altimeter Mode Switch PNEU/OFF'), category = {_('Instrument Panel')}},

If you are not familiar with editing the "default.lua" I recommend you look into the tutorial under this post: https://forum.dcs.world/topic/270080-lua-editing-for-additional-key-binds-tutorial-no-discussion-here-please/#elControls_4646929_menu
