Perform command speedbrake and others

[dureiken]

Hi,

 

I would like to know how to extend/retract speedbrakes under mission editor ? I achieve to do it with "set command" for gears, but I don't achieve for speedbrakes. Could you help me ? thanks

Hi,

 

Employ the trigger action:

X:COCKPIT PERFORM CLICkABLE ACTION, device 13, Command 3035, Value: -1 to extend, 1 to close

 

See attached test mission. Keep in mind that this action is meant for Single Player and most likely won't work on Multi Player.

You can use the condition X:COCKPIT PARAM IN RANGE, the parameters would be:

 

BASE_SENSOR_LEFT_THROTTLE_POS

BASE_SENSOR_RIGHT_THROTTLE_POS

 

They return a value where 0 is minimum position and 1 is maximum.

This is a tricky parameter to use, as its value depend to an extent on your physical hardware, so a mission that employs these and works on your DCS, might not work the same on a PC with a different hardware throttle. I believe that checking RPM is safer:

 

BASE_SENSOR_LEFT_ENGINE_FAN_RPM

BASE_SENSOR_RIGHT_ENGINE_FAN_RPM

BASE_SENSOR_LEFT_THROTTLE_POS works pretty fine

BASE_SENSOR_LEFT_ENGINE_FAN_RPM  I didn't achieve. 70 to, 100 ? 0.7 to 1 ?

 

thanks

value from 0 to 1, where 1 is 100%rpm

thanks a lot it works perfectly I changed topic name as questions are different.

 

I have a strange problem with trim : when I use the perform command 13-3014-1 , it works but it's like 10 click with hat on joystick

 

Is there a way to correct that ? thanks

But the new title does not inform the reader that we are discussing the F/A-18C ... the cockpit commands shown as examples, do not work on any other aircraft.

Sorry, can you elaborate? I don't understand what is the exact issue, nor what is your trigger trying to acomplish by manipulating the aircraft's trim.

When I use the command to trim the plane via ME, the effect in game is like using it 10 times via the joystick.

Sorry, I have no experience manipulating aircraft Trim from within a trigger, so don't know what advice to give, you will need to experiment on your own .. for example try a value of 0.1 instead of 1.
