Anti-skid switch - please add keybinds for discrete on or off

[TAIPAN_]

The Anti-skid switch only has a toggle keybind, and doesn't have a way to map it to a 2-way switch i.e. an ON and an OFF binding.

If I add the bind myself based on the clickabledata.lua information, it does move the switch however it doesn't change the anti-skid status and the warning light remains on.

I believe this needs a new function added by the team to bind to.

Yes because antiskid is a solenoid switch, it's electrically hold.
It's not managed by DCS in the A-10C

If it's not managed by DCS what is it managed by? 

There are other similar solenoid electrically held switches in DCS that do have discrete bindings available. I don't see how being electrically held would mean you can't bind a button to turn it on or off?

@TAIPAN_How do you know the anti-skid is not working with your added LUA lines?
I would not rely on the light in the Caution Light Panel. The related table in the flight manual has a note for this indicator saying "No function".
Also, the function defintion for "electrically_held_switch" in "lclickabledata.lua" says that the animation isn't working properly.

-- TODO: to check animation, it doesn't work properly with the handling code
function electrically_held_switch(hint_, device_, command_on_, command_off_, arg_, animation_speed_)
	local animation_speed_ 		= animation_speed_ or anim_speed_default_2_pos_thumb

Very interesting, thanks for that. 

You may be right, I haven't tested the brakes with it on and the light on. 

However my startup would still feel a bit incomplete if the light didn't go out. 

Currently I use "OFF" on the down hardware switch and "TOGGLE" on the up part. The light goes off with that. Fingers crossed the upcoming A10C bug fixes thwf Wags announced may fix it.
