Shaman Posted January 9, 2011 Posted January 9, 2011 Hey, has anyone figured out why there are two actions rendered withing TARGET software for autopilot push button? APENG & APDIS In 3D view they appear on top of each other. I do not understand, because I feel only one action (single press) when I press this button and since there's already option to set different macros for press and release, hm...... Anyone? 51PVO Founding member (DEC2007-) 100KIAP Founding member (DEC2018-) :: Shaman aka [100☭] Shamansky tail# 44 or 444 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] 100KIAP Regiment Early Warning & Control officer
Frederf Posted January 9, 2011 Posted January 9, 2011 One for on and one for off? AP(Engage) and AP(Disengage)? If it sends both commands to the sim then one will be received and one will be ignored. If only Engage was sent then you could never turn it off.
Shaman Posted January 9, 2011 Author Posted January 9, 2011 It is a bug in this software in my opinion. I have tested it thoughtfully and it seems APDIS behaves exactly same like APENG plus /R (release) statement. And what you are saying, any button can cycle through different keys. It is programing feature since Foxy. So APENG can f.e. toggle through all 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 0 keys each time it is pressed is sends next one in sequence. That was done before in Foxy. So I see no point of APDIS here, and I am not using it. It only confused me. Until someone shows me a script that shows something that can be achieved with both APENG and APDIS that cannot be achieved with just APENG. I hope I can see that soon. 51PVO Founding member (DEC2007-) 100KIAP Founding member (DEC2018-) :: Shaman aka [100☭] Shamansky tail# 44 or 444 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] 100KIAP Regiment Early Warning & Control officer

Shaman Posted January 11, 2011 Author Posted January 11, 2011 Long press Short press ? i Know many people reported this feature in target ? or Hardware ? can t remember. You can set time delay that activates a 2nd command with any button on a Cougar/Warthog using scripts - so this is not it. 51PVO Founding member (DEC2007-) 100KIAP Founding member (DEC2018-) :: Shaman aka [100☭] Shamansky tail# 44 or 444 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] 100KIAP Regiment Early Warning & Control officer

shilka Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 I think they exist because of historical reason... On real A-10c this button is not a simple "push-button" but a toggle button. A single push will toggle the state of the button from "released" and "depressede", and vise versa. That's why there're 2 states for this button. It will probably automatically pop up if the pilot moved the joystick during a Autopilot flight. Maybe during initial design they plan to use a toggle button here but apparently the final product used a push-button instead. The states are lost.
