Keybind Flaps

[essener88]

Hi ED,

can You please add Keybinds for all 3 Flaps positions... i would need the option for every position - up, half and full so i can use my 3 position flaps switch on the winwing takeoff panel corectly.

 

Thanks in advance

They have. Look for the on/else off positions for the flaps.

Like Max said, there's a category "Special For Joystick" with the keybinds:

Flaps: Down<>Center

Flaps: Up<>Center

Bind these to the respective Up and Down positions of your 3 position switch, and you should be good.

Or are they not available for said panel?

I did try this binding but the Problem still exists.

Lets say iam in flight, flaps are in up position on plane and hotas.

Now i want to land and put my hotas switch in the middle position First. Nothing happens in plane. If i then bring the switch in the up position and back to middle it works and the plane will put them in half position. Its like the middle position is on sleep Till i move the buttons up and down.

 

On Other Modules which have a bind for every position the problem does not exist so the middle position on my winwing panel works fine

Oh okay, I see. That is actually a quite common problem and not limited to your hardware. I see the exact same on my TM Warthog with that same keybind.

There's a setting to synchronize HOTAS controls on mission start, but that then sometimes causes other issues.

My personal SOP is to set 3 position switches to the middle position after a flight or before spawning in an aircraft. In a cold start, I'll cycle the flaps anyway as part of the checklist so that'll take care of the sync issue. It's not ideal, but I'm okay with it. And I actually prefer this over jumping into an airstart only to get the flaps to come full down immediately because my HOTAS flaps switch was still in the down position after the last flight, or similar issues.

Thanks for the reply,

this is what i Do for a hotfix but i think its not ideal,

So back to my inital request... please ED, give me 3 keybinds, full, half, and up on the flaps.

This will fix my issue

Not necessarily. Could you post a screenshot of your settings?

Could also try out VoiceAttack I found it pretty intuitive to set up more complex key binds. I use it to add a few button press long/short keybinds and some toggles that cycle between inputs on each button press. It can handle the 3-way but not really 3-way switch problem easy enough as well. There's a free trial and if you're only using it for a handful of commands the trial version might be all you need.

I'm surprised there is not 3 separate key for this for 10 years,  common ED it's a simple keybind plz add this

You only need that if you are using buttons. There are two ways to do it with three position switches. Either the included ON-Else OFF, that's already in the game. Or just use OFF positions. Which works in any module, and kind of makes the else OFF commands redundant.

Winwing throttle 3 way toggle switch need 3 keybinds  , it is not spring back toggle switch

yes, I can use ON-Else swtch but I dont want reset my flap switch position before everyflight 

that's why need 3 keybinds

I dont think it's a hard to add this feature

No, it doesn't. Wanna bet? How do think the Warthog does it, which is supported out of the box, so you don't even need to set it up?
There are two ways like I wrote. Choose the special for joystick, and just bind up and down, and the middle position will just work for you.
For modules that only have UP and DOWN, and doesn't have the ON/ELSE OFF, but still needs the middle position. You do it it like this. Let's say the three way have the switches called 1, 2 and 3. Then you bind 1 for UP, and then 3 for DOWN. For the middle position you bind 1 again but in the drop down, you choose 1_OFF, and then again bind 3, and in the drop down choose 3_OFF.
That's it.
Cheers!

I tried.. it works,  but   I have to reset my flap switch position before every flight 

if you died in combat with Flap up, you must reset your switch before restart

Why border this  instead just add 1 keybind?

Other modules have a 3 keybinds

Have enabled sync with HOTAS at mission start in the settings? If you have to do that, I would report it as a bug. 5he Mirage F1 had similar issues, I think Aerges fixed it.
The Warthog module is old. The Warthog throttle is also old tech now, and doesn't have a middle position for its flaps lever. It's thee positions, while they are ON-OFF-ON. Probably why it's never been implemented in the module. Have you tried Quaggles Keybind Injector with Munkwolf's Keybinds Repository? Might have been added there. Doesn't break IC.
BTW. Adding the OFF possibilities by ED is excellent, and can help you in so many ways.
