resolved Switch Cargo Hook ARM postition not working when bound to button/switch

[Griefhard]

The Cargo Hook ARM - OFF- RESET Switch does not work in ARM position when set to hardware button or switch.
OFF and RESET positions work as intended.

Ok, I might not be 100% sure what you mean, I assigned it to a 3 way switch and it worked ok. Do you mean binding it to a switch on your HOTAS?

[Griefhard]

Yeah. I asigned ARM, OFF and RESET to a 3-way-switch on my WinWing Takeoff Panel and only positions OFF and RESET work. When I set the (hardware) switch to ARM, ingame nothing happens.

In the controller options when I flip the hardware switch all positions are recognized (meaning, the corresponding sections are highlighted, when switching to either of these three positions).

I then asigned the ARM function it to another (hardware) switch, just to check, but this also didn't switch the position in game. Clicking on the hook-switch in game with the mouse changes the switch position to ARM as intended.

It does work on my Virpil SharKa panel on a 3way switch, all three positions can be selected just fine, including the ARM position.

I will have to investigate further...

This issue is resolved.

I am terribly sorry and it is kind of embarrissing for me. I missread the "Cargo Hook ARM Switch" and the "Cargo Hook Arming Switch" and used the wrong input.
Everything works just fine. Totally sorry here...

I had the same issue not noticing the name. One of them need renamed to avoid confusion IMO Or maybe have the Hoist operator have its own pulldown menu for controls.
