Canopy Switch Keybinds

[Caldera]

Hey All,

The canopy open / close switch still does work for me, either by keyboard or controller.  It only works by the use of right or left mouse clicks.

 

After at least 2 patches, with ED knowing about it and BigNewy locking the original thread (because they know about it), it still no worky.  Has some one came up with a "work around" to get the functionality of operating this switch by either keybind or controller?

Thanks in advance,

Caldera

I have added several options in my "default.lua", for use with either a maintained ON/OFF switch, a set of 3 pushbuttons or a ON1-OFF-ON2 switch with spring return to OFF.
I use the latter with an UP/DOWN toggle on my DSD button box. It would also work with a 3-position switch like the speedbrake switch on the Warthog throttle.
This is achived by adding 2 lines of code:

{down = 3006, up = 3007,cockpit_device_id = devices.CPT_MECH, value_down = 0.0,	value_up = 0.0, name = _('Canopy CLOSE/HOLD'), category = _('Systems')},
{down = 3007, up = 3007, cockpit_device_id = 39, value_down = 1.0, value_up = 0.0, name = _('Canopy OPEN/HOLD'), category = _('Systems')},
