Renko Posted June 16 Posted June 16 I noticed that in the Hoist/Cargo Hook Control Panel if i move the CARGO HOOK MSTR Switch from ARM position to RESET position susing keybinds for those two, it will not trigger the OFF position. Meaning that on a three position switch it will "jump" the central position if you use keybinds. If you dont trigger the OFF positionnull it will not do anything related to that switch, and it makes no sense physicaly. Here is a track that shows a copuple of times the behaviour using keybinds. First with only ARM to RESET. Where you can observe how the OFF position is "jumped" and it wont trigger nothing in the Hook systems. And then using the keybinds for moving up and down the switch for comparison. Regards Hook_Issue.trk
Renko Posted June 17 Author Posted June 17 (edited) @BIGNEWY sorry for the ping. but without a reply i dont know who tag this thread as "not a bug" Sorry but it is clearly a bug. I did not say that the logic of each position of the three-position-switch is wrong. That works fine. Im saying that i can pass from ARM to RESET position, without passing through OFF. Which is physically impossible looking at any three-position-switch, because you need to pass first through OFF to be able to reach RESET. And i think you can agree with me on that. And since it jumps the OFF position, it doesnt trigger any of the logic the OFF position does. nullnull Edited June 17 by Renko
ED Team BIGNEWY Posted June 17 ED Team Posted June 17 Hi, I will check with the team, this may be a design decision to make it easier for people with limited keys. The key binds themselves have options to map all three positions and move back and forth. 1 Forum rules - DCS Crashing?

Thanks Bignewy I saw all those keybinds, in fact in my track i use too "move fwd" and "move backward as i sad in the first post. And its great to have all those options for sure. But for people with limited keys, you will still lose that OFF position logic. The only issue i see with this Switch is that you "jump" the OFF position without triggering the logic. I think with that image and my track is clear to see. If i pressed RESET and then ARM, and it triggers the OFF logic when passing through all will be fine. I know is a minor thing, but i noticed this issue while trying to map that switch into the Hotas. Regards! Edited Wednesday at 06:32 AM by Renko
Vakarian Posted Wednesday at 07:00 AM Posted Wednesday at 07:00 AM As a workaround if you have e.g. Button1 for RESET and Button2 for ARM, you could set Button1_OFF and Button2_OFF bindings to the OFF position, that way it might trigger the OFF position first and then go to the "other" position. Haven't tried it though so I'm unsure on the timings.
