X:cockpit commands (Mi-24P)

[rge75]

I've searched a lot on the net but I simply didn't manage to get the needed result. I'm looking for the correct parameters for the Mi-24P to open the side doors (I think emeregency doors?)

According to some forum posts, I should be able to see the tooltips by adding

OPTIONS_ADD_COMMAND_CODES_TO_TOOLTIP = true

to the MissionEditor.lua. Well, in fact it's set that it's false by default, but the line was not in the file at all. Adding it didn't work though.

Thus, I was checking the cliabledata.lua of the Hind. IMO it would be 621 and 622?

elements["CB-RIGHT-EMERGENCY-DOOR-DETACH-PILOT-PTR"]    = default_2_position_tumb(_("CB Jettison Pilot´s Door, ON/OFF"),                devices.ELEC_INTERFACE,        elec_commands.CB_RIGHT_EMERGENCY_DOOR_DETACH_PILOT,    621)
elements["CB-RIGHT-EMERGENCY-DOOR-DETACH-OP-PTR"]        = default_2_position_tumb(_("CB Jettision Gunners Door, ON/OFF"),                devices.ELEC_INTERFACE,        elec_commands.CB_RIGHT_EMERGENCY_DOOR_DETACH_OP,    622)

(simply those doors being controlled by LSHIFT-LCTR-C and RSHIFT-RCTRL-C by default).

However, no matter what cockpit device I chose, I can't set it to 621 or 622. Looks like only values above 3000 are working.

Would be nice if somebody could help me to get it working in the ME.

Starting on DCS 2.9.6 that way to show the tooltips got obsolete. Now it can be enabled this other way:

I haven't flown the Mi-24 on a while, but my notes tell me the doors can be set with commands 3022, 3023 and 3033, of device 11. Give those a try.

Had the chance of checking the commands above and they do work, here is a sample short mission:

Thank you very much for this very helpful information as well as for testing it. Very appreciated.
