TM Warthog and Ka-50 toggel switches

[xxJohnxx]

Hi,

 

I use the Ka-50 with the TM Warthog. I have the gear and the door assigned to the EAC and RDR ALTM. switches on the throttle unit.

By default, if I move the RDR ALTM switch up, the gear goes up. If I move it back down the gear stays up. If I move the switch back up the gear comes down. And so on.

I heard that it is possible to change the correspondending lua file so that this switch works like: switch up -> gear up; switch down -> gear down;

I have found the lua file and the line for the gear, however I don't know what to change.

 

{combos = {{key = "JOY_BTN25"}, }, down = iCommandPlaneGear, name = "Gear lever", category = "Ins Forward panel and gauges"},

 

Hopfully someone can point me in the right direction.

 

Thanks

It's a drag and drop deal with Helios, but I think if Helios can do it, there is a way to do it in the lua code too.

 

If you are not familiar with Helios, I suggest looking into it.

Good luck to you.

 

Actually, you should be able to fix this easily in the TM software by using on/off code.

Try this:

 

{combos = {{key = "JOY_BTN25"}, }, down = iCommandPlaneGear, up = iCommandPlaneGear, name = "Gear lever", category = "Ins Forward panel and gauges"},

 

DOWN is when you PRESS the button/switch, UP is when you release it. Because there is no seperate command for gearup and geardown beware that a de-sync can occur.

Thank you both for your answers!

 

I will check out what Helios can do for me, however until then I will stick to the method Lukas described, which works perfectly fine! Many thanks!

Glad I could help :)

 

I'm using both the LUA editing as helios for my profiling, for various reasons. Anyway, have fun programming :-)
