X: SET COMMAND WITH VALUE

[Avalanche110]

I have a mission for the F-14 that uses the X: SET COMMAND WITH VALUE function to have JESTER navigate around the map. I am wondering if their are similar functions for Jester in the F-4.

I have read through the DCS modding chapter in the manual. The lua commands sound very interesting and I plan to explore it further.

But that will take some time to learn and experiment with. Just wondering if the X: SET COMMAND WITH VALUE functions are, or will be implemented.

Many thanks

They are planned and likely to come rather sooner than later. At the moment there arent many.

However, a lot of functionality is available through direct commands in the Jester Wheel already and these player-available binds (Jester Command: ...), like any other binds, can also be "pushed" from within the Mission Editor. They are virtual push buttons, so you would have to send a 1 (press) and then 0 (release) to activate them.

That is also how most of our training missions are currently set up to control Jester.

The full list of those commands can be found in DCS/Mods/aircraft/F-4E/Cockpit/command_defs.lua.

Thanks for the Heads up @Zabuzard

I was amazed at what Jester was capable of doing in the F-14. I'm really looking forward to seeing what can be done with the new API.
