Probe Keybind missing? No key bind allowed??

Just tried to bind a keyboard key to the "Probe Control Switch - EXTEND/RETRACT" toggle, but apparently a keybind is not allowed for this command??? It won't open the key bind window.

Same for the "Probe Control Switch - EMERG EXTD/RETRACT" command.

Possibly this has something to do with the 'Special for Joystick' category? What is that?? I don't see anything about it in the Early Access Guide..:joystick:

Nope. On the Left Console the keyboard bind is also disabled. Also disabled on the Fuel Control Panel..

Sure enough it’s not editable - but I did map it to an open switch on my Warthog Throttle.

Works for me.

You can bind a key? Or didn't you read the OP.

Oh well.. Maybe there going to add it later..

You cannot bind a key to a special joystick button.... it has to be a joystick or hotas.

What is a "Special Joystick" and why can I bind a button to it, but not a key?

this is what I have for left console and can map it correctly

 

this is taken from open beta

I am confused, I don't see it bound to a key in that screenshot but to a button on a 'joystick' or some sorta box.

Works for me.

Which key did you bind yours to.

If you add the entry to the keyboard.lua file, it sorta works but not 100%, the probe will extend but not retract, iow, it isn't a toggle.

Thanks cofcorpse, that clarifies the issue. I have it mapped to a throttle button and I like it that way.

Yes, thanks cofcorpse, that explains it.

It is strange with all these commands, that so many don't have a simple toggle on/off keybind.. Like H for the Hook, for users without fancy HOTAS. I don't see the logic..

yeah sorry I had it moved along

 

here is another showing the keys, I can highlight and add a key if I wish to extend and retract

That's a negative Ghost Rider: The pattern is full.

You can't add a key binding to Extend/Retract and Emerg Extend/Retract they are greyed out in your screenshot. You can add a key for the individual ones but not for the 'toggle' ones, which is what the OP was talking about.
