not a bug Probe Heat & Test Switch

[skywalker22]

Not sure if this is a bug or it is designed that way, but since it's a 3-position switch, I would assume, the right mouse clicks moves switch always forward, while left mouse clicks should move switch always backward. Now it is not wokring like a usual 3 or more positional switch. 

Now when switch is forward (on ON position), left click moves the switch to OFF, you can hear that double movement of the switch ("click-click"), but it moves just by one position. If you press right mouse click you can only hear one "click", but I would assume, right mouse click should do nothing more , but to stay there, when in ON position.

Can't remember off the top of my head which position is in what direction and what mouse button gets it there, but what I do remember is that it seems to work fine.

What you're supposed to do with it is to switch it on a couple seconds, then move it to TEST, which is spring-loaded, then you check the probe heat caution light, which should be flashing, and when you release the switch, the spring flips it back to OFF. Then later, before take-off, there is a checklist item to switch it on.

Switch works fine, just the left-right mouse clicks are not working the way as 3 positional switch works on DCS's F-16 (right click to move swich only forward, and left click to move the switch only backward).

Its DCS thing, so no need of any evidence.

3-position switches in F-16 move forward with right mouse clicks, and backwards with left mouse clicks. This one does not work like that.

If it's not a bug, it's inconsistent with the other switches and that's not a good thing. 

For evidence, jump into the Viper and try flipping that switch. You will get it wrong the first time.

Exactly. Thx for the info.

I get it wrong each and every time when turning it off
