X: Cockpit Perform Clickable Action with F/A-18C_hornet

[Blue116]

Hi all, I am trying to get X: Cockpit clickable to do some basic config. I am not sure if I am doing something wrong but some things seem to work while others do not.

I am activating the AMPCD PB 3 twice to set remove the map, that works.  I try to actvate PB 8 twice to get SCL/10 but that does not work.  I am trying to setup a basic TACAN 1X and an ILS chan 1 which does not work.  I do see my ILS and ON/OFF button sunken in.  If I click on my TCN button, it shows the tacan activating.  It is almost as if the buttons are sticking in and not activating.  I know work is going on with the DTC and perhaps it is related or I am simply doing something wrong.   Any help would be appreciated.

when you action a trigger like perform clickable action device, command, value, to press a button, you also need to un-press it before using it again, with a value 0 instead of 1
also, some cockpit elements need a time to let its animation work, so you may need to separate the different actions on separate triggers: not all actions on the same trigger.

I have tried many iterations including just doing the TACAN alone pressing TCN button with value of 1 then value of 0 to release followed by a press of the ON/OFF and a release.  It did not work. I had delays and separating things but tried to simplify with this test mission.  The basic do not appear to work right.  If it’s not a issue then I will try to figured out through more trial and errors.

I’m not at home this week, but will try to test this during the week-end and then get back here.

nullAfter testing different combination and starting with just turning on TACAN, I was able to get it working by setting timers 1 second apart between each X: Cockpit command.

 

Knowing this, I will try to get things working by combining commands into time buckets.  I am attaching the test mission in case someone want to test or review.

In case this helps someone else,  I have condense the commands and it still works.  Here is the condensed settings:

 

Adding flags and time buckets, I should be able to pre-configure the F-18C.

I now have a working TACAN setup to 72X using X Cockpit Perform Clickable Actions.

 

Here are my settings: 

Hopefully this will help someone.  I am also attaching the test mission with the above settings.

I found this great LUA script by Orca57 that does exactly what I need and more.
