If you want to turn toggle into momentary switches then some of your answers are in the sticky thread above this one. But its not a pretty solution.

One of the things I love about DCSW DCS A-10C is it doesn't mind toggle switches

Anything that will accomplish that is going to be a lot of work for pretty much no value.

From memory (and it's been a while!) I think that if you put a diode in the circuit, the action of flipping the switch causes a pulse rather than a solid on connection.

 

Have a look at the x-keys manual: (http://piengineering.com/techdocs/manuals/XK-0988-UNM128.1088.pdf)

 

I'm guessing this should apply to most matrix type boards. I have a Leo Bodnar at home so will try this out this evening.

no, the diode only lets the current pass in one direction. My switches do not pulse and they all have diodes.

 

To do as you want:

 

You wire both leads to the same switch return and tell your controller to send a pulse, but DCS by default does exactly what you are asking. It sees all buttons a pulses, so all you do is wire both sides of the switch to one return. You would just go to DCS Options and set the button there.

 

If you don't want the switch to remain on, you need momentary switches.

Just add the same function to the Key in your lua file of the device.

 

{combos = {{key = "JOY_BTN1"}, }, down = iCommandPlaneGear, name = "Gear lever", category = "Ins Forward panel and gauges"},

 

edit it to:

 

{combos = {{key = "JOY_BTN1"}, }, down = iCommandPlaneGear, up = iCommandPlaneGear, name = "Gear lever", category = "Ins Forward panel and gauges"},

 

You have to do it for every plane / device.

The files are here C:\Users\YOURNAME\Saved Games\DCS\Config\Input
