Binding to the taxi/landing light switch

[bfr]

Possibly a dumb question and i'm missing something obvious but is there any way to bind a single push button to step through the three positions of the LANDING/OFF/TAXI switch? All attempts thus far binding either a keystroke or button directly just put the switch into one state (e.g. LNDG/OFF/TAXI puts its to LNDG and won't budge, TAXI/OFF/LNDG just puts it to TAXI and won't budge).  I would've tried a chain in Joystick Gremlin but the joystick abstractions for the individual states won't take a keystroke binding.

Only with modifiers.

Ah, figured it out. Can be done with JG by creating chain of T/O/L > L/O/T > L/O/T > T/O/L which will then toggle it from OFF > TAXI >OFF > LANDING > OFF and so on.

You're right though that you're a bit stuffed mapping a controller directly to DCS without using a modifier or a 2 way switch or 2 buttons.

You can do this natively in DCS now.  In the key binding you can set the OFF state by clicking the drop down where the button shows up and selecting the button_off for that particular button.

Why didn't I think of this.
I have actually done it for the refueling switch. Oh, Lord!

Some of those commands are problematic. They step up or down in one direction and then stop. I hope they can give more options like a true single button cycle.

I admit, this is why I like clickable cockpits, I reach over and click the switch or button with my mouse. I save HOTAS issues for the HOTAS, and others that are not as subject ti immediacy to my mouse and cockpit switches. While they offer hundreds of bindings, I do my best to keep them to a minimum.

Oh my, I didn’t even know that! Silly me… Cheers!
