PLT NVS MODE Switch - Three way toggle Switch

[Maverick87Shaka]

Dear ED,
Since many three way toggle switch on the market are basically ON-OFF-ON logic, I Kindly ask you to consider to add to the control options the following combination:
PLT NVS MODE Switch - FIXED, else NORM
and
PLT NVS MODE Switch - OFF, else NORM

In this way it will make lot easier build cockpit or panels, since can be used any standard HID to achieve a full fidelity recreation.



It should be also useful to have this as a "common practice" where a 3 way toggle is used in general, not just for this particular switch.

Thanks,
Fly Safe!

Super! this is cool feature that I was not aware off, unfortunately it looks like it's less reliable than have dedicated bindings with the "else off" logic.

I'm testing right now, and If you move switch "fast" from FIXED to OFF position, the switch in DCS stuck in the NORM position.
If you slowly move the switch, waiting in the middle position ( OFF STATE ) that DCS move the switch according to NORM position, and than move the switch to the desired position it works fine.

In other planes where you have the "else" logic, you can fast move the 3 way toggle without have this kind of missmatch.

Basically it works but requires that you wait a little in the off position before move from one end to the other.

This is a short video comparing the performance difference of the two solution.
On the left a video with "command, else off" logic present in many aircraft like the F-14, JF-17 etc ( in this particular case the Master Arm of JF-17, ARM, OFF and SIM )
On the right the AH-64 NVS Mode using the built in function BTX00_OFF to assign at the norm position.

I mean, if you take particular attention in what your doing it's working, but it's not "reliable" solution. It works very well for two way toggle switch only. For three position switch, has some limitation ,and that's why probably is better to have a dedicated binding line for the "lese" logic.
