Bunny Clark Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 The control "MASTER ARM Switch - MASTER ARM/OFF" does not work as I would expect it to. In other places in DCS and in other modules, a slash in controls like this typically denotes a toggle between two values. I expect this control, when pressed, to toggle the Master Arm switch between ARM and OFF. Instead it is setting the Master Arm to OFF unless the button is held, in which case it moves to ARM only so long as the button is held. This would be more clearly named "MASTER ARM Switch - ARM, else OFF" as is common with these types of functions in the F-14B. In the F/A-18C module the control "Master Arm Switch - ARM/SAFE" works as a toggle between ARM and SAFE as expected. It would be great to have a single-button toggle between ARM and OFF in the Viper as well, but currently that function needs to use two buttons or be a button that can be latched.

Emmy Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 I have it mapped to my TMS + Paddle as a modifier. I can walk the switch UP or DOWN at will.

Raven (Elysian Angel) Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 I have Master Arm mapped to a 2-position switch on my WH throttle, and it works just fine.

Florence201 Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 I have it mapped to a 2 position switch on my X56 and it works fine up and down to all 3 positions. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunny Clark Posted May 31, 2020 Author Share Posted May 31, 2020 Yes, it works just fine on a 2-position switch as there are separate ARM and OFF commands, as well as a UP and DOWN commands. But it would be very nice to have a functional OFF/ARM toggle command. Oil In The Water Hornet Campaign.
