fixed No radar altimeter height binding?

[RangerGav]

As the topic says... Am I correct in thinking there's no binding for the radar altimeter dangerous height adjustment dial in the Hind? I can't find any setting under any name I could think of for it. Not in buttons or axis. Have I just missed it somehow???

[Mordants]

Co-incidentally I have been looking for that also in the past few days. I couldn't find it either.

It's not there yet, I paste this into the file \DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\aircraft\Mi-24P\Input\Mi_24P_pilot\joystick\default.lua to add these bindings:-

        -- RALT

        {cockpit_device_id = devices.RADAR_ALTIMETER, pressed = ralt_commands.ROTARY, value_pressed = 0.025, name = _('Radar altimeter - Down (Slow)'), category = {_('Instrument Panel'), _('Custom')}},

        {cockpit_device_id = devices.RADAR_ALTIMETER, pressed = ralt_commands.ROTARY, value_pressed = -0.025, name = _('Radar altimeter - Up (Slow)'), category = {_('Instrument Panel'), _('Custom')}},

        {cockpit_device_id = devices.RADAR_ALTIMETER, pressed = ralt_commands.ROTARY, value_pressed = 0.05, name = _('Radar altimeter - Down'), category = {_('Instrument Panel'), _('Custom')}},

        {cockpit_device_id = devices.RADAR_ALTIMETER, pressed = ralt_commands.ROTARY, value_pressed = -0.05, name = _('Radar altimeter - Up'), category = {_('Instrument Panel'), _('Custom')}},

        {cockpit_device_id = devices.RADAR_ALTIMETER, pressed = ralt_commands.ROTARY, value_pressed = 0.1, name = _('Radar altimeter - Down (Fast)'), category = {_('Instrument Panel'), _('Custom')}},

        {cockpit_device_id = devices.RADAR_ALTIMETER, pressed = ralt_commands.ROTARY, value_pressed = -0.1, name = _('Radar altimeter - Up (Fast)'), category = {_('Instrument Panel'), _('Custom')}},

Thanks, but I have found that I have these lines already. So not sure what I need to incorperate this into the key bindings.

I had a quick look in DCS earlier (with no controls attached) and couldn't find them in the bindings either, should be under Instrument Panel but not there. Now I have my controls plugged in, go into DCS and there they are as expected. I have no idea why they wouldn't show before, maybe recent patch/bindings changes has muddled something here. 

Out of some old habit I have always placed my custom bindings in the file just before the '-- Clock' section. Anyway good luck, hope this helps somehow.

Could you attach your Joystick lua file, and I'll give it ago. Definately weird though.

Sure, here you go

This still has not worked for me, however the attached clickable data does not show the controls either. Can I be a pain and see if yours is similar? Or attach yours and I can compare.

This file can be found: DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\aircraft\Mi-24P\Cockpit\Scripts      clickabledata.lua

Thanks again for your help.

Thanks you really are a star. Your clickable.lua file is the same as mine so I don't understand why you have the keybind data and I dont. Maybe, and this will be my last shot you could attach your keyboard file located at Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\InputCommands\Mi-24P\Input\Mi_24P_pilot\keyboard. Then at least I have tried all variables, Thanks.

I have it under a different path but its here anyway. Weird how this isn't working as it was, it used to be so easy.

default.lua

I got the keybinds from here originally https://github.com/Munkwolf/dcs-community-keybinds, though I only used a few bits not the whole mod. Anyway it might have been updated since so maybe worth checking this mod out.

What path did you get it from, maybe I'm getting it wrong?

Probably here but was a long time ago https://github.com/Munkwolf/dcs-community-keybinds/tree/main/InputCommands/Mi-24P/Input/Mi_24P_pilot/joystick

Success! went to the Quaggles site and got that file, I know have the ability to rotate the dial and set the height !! Thanks a bunch for your help, It was driving me nuts.

Hallelujah! Great to hear its sorted

Even better:

DCS: Mi-24P Hind by Eagle Dynamics

• Added: Bind for radar altimeter dangerous altitude setting

Thanks for adding this ED (or whoever did so)!
