Father Cool Posted June 26, 2023 Posted June 26, 2023 As per the title. I have a latching slider on my X55 that I want to use as the speedbrake but at the moment I have to set it as a toggle and slide it on and off then on and off again to operate the speedbrake, I just want to slide it on and then slide it off.
Vakarian Posted June 26, 2023 Posted June 26, 2023 Use built in "Button off" function in DCS keybinding. It's slightly hidden as in you will have to manually search for the correct button "OFF" state 1
Father Cool Posted June 30, 2023 Author Posted June 30, 2023 Can you elaborate? The only option for speedbrake that I see is speedbrake on, speedbrake off, speedbrake on/off toggle. As my slider is a latching switch its either on or off. It gives no input in the off position to map speedbrake off so I have it as toggle which then only works when I slide it on, I then have to slide it off and back on and then back off again to put the speedbrake in.
Solution Vakarian Posted June 30, 2023 Solution Posted June 30, 2023 It's not a control to bind, rather the button option. When you for example bind speedbrake on to "BTN_69", you can bind speedbrake off to "BTN_69_OFF". That "BTN_69_OFF" is in the dropdown menu which you need to select. That way when you move your switch to on position it will deploy the speedbrake and then when you move the switch to off position it will retract it. 3
GrEaSeLiTeNiN Posted July 2, 2023 Posted July 2, 2023 (edited) IIRC, on else off is similar to button on / button off except the latter is better if you are using a modifier for a second command layer on the same switch. The switch status of command layer one gets altered by layer two’s action if it was mapped using on else off, but remains unaffected if button on / button off method was used instead.

Works perfectly, never realised that was even an option! 1
