Is there a DDI/AMPCD state chart?

[karpiyon]

Hi,

Is there a chart/table which species various DDI/AMPCD states and their corresponding button assignments?

I am working on a plugin for the FA-18, much like the one for the F-16 here.

E.g. when a user says "set hsi mode" I will extract from this table: TAC=>SUP=>hsi (i will of course translate those to button number and export the state from the flight data)

Thanks

Not really.  That's going to be a HUGE task as the basics are TAC and SUPT menu pages (easy enough) but after you select an item on there you're potentially going to have 3-4 levels of pages for some of buttons that you can press beyond that.  For example, select the STORES page, then a loaded JDAM (which actually adds more confusion because the top OSB's change depending what weapons you have loaded), then JDAM DSPLY page, then MSN page.  That's for pre-planned mode but if you're in TOO mode you get a totally different menu's.  You're maybe better off to have it control the individual OSB's by # (i.e. OSB1, OSB2 etc) than trying to define all of the functions at least beyond just the TAC and SUPT pages.

And for your example, even selecting HSI page depends on whether you are currently in the TAC or SUPT page and I'm not aware of any way to consistently select one of those or determine which you are on (i.e. there is no button or command to specifically select TAC or SUPT, you have to press the menu button and it only swaps between the two so without knowing which one you're on you have no way to specify which one you want).  EDITED TO ADD: this is really more of an issue if you happen to start on SUPT page.  If you're in another page already and menu back it should start on TAC page.
