AV-8B Harrier II - Keybinding Thread

[Rlaxoxo]

I've been missing few Binds on a Harrier and had some spare time to mess about to make few new binds.

Thought I'd share.

 

Binds added in the Input files:

Maintaing the mod after every patch is a bit of a pain so I don't know how long I will keep it up.

 

But if anyone has any other requests for binds I'll try and make it.

Axis, Leavers, and knobs are hard thing to bind without access to source code.

 

Enjoy

 

PS: JSGME Compatible, I'm not sure if this mod breaks IC.

THANK YOU!!

 

This is even handier than quick stops for the STO Stop lever

 

Works like a charm and is exactly what I needed :-) Cheers!

 

EDIT:

 

I hadn't read the other thread 2/3-Position Switches but see that Vladinski has already posted much of this and more. In particular he has quite a comprehensive list of binds (a few already implemented by Razbam, others which are still missing). And another great post on how to start understanding the LUA so you can make adjustment on your own!

 

Still appreciate your post Rlaxoxo or I wouldn't have found the info. But, in case anyone comes across this thread, be sure to read the other as well. I didn't read the entire thing until just now but it's worth taking the time to do so. Great info in there!

Oh boy I just made a post about that for my brand new hand made channel selectors!!

 

Thanks man

[Beazle]

Does that include the push buttons aswell?

Push buttons?

[Beazle]

Sell aren't the ufc part of you lua script the xommand for the comm 1/comm 2 channel selector knob? Which rotates cw/ccw and as a push fonction?

[Beazle]

ok so I just tested it and we have the push function of knob in your script but we are still missing the rotation of the knob for channel selection in dcs.. how can we get to have those?

[Rlaxoxo]

You can't make "Preset Up / Down" without having access to the real code.

[Beazle]

I am not sure to understand what you mean :/

[Rlaxoxo]

I am not sure to understand what you mean :/

 

You can't make a mod for Toggable keybinds or keybinds that make the knob go UP or DOWN by 1 step each time you press it without having access to the Sim SDK or Source code.

 

So only binds that you can create with .lua files are

"FLIP the knob to X position" or

"Flip the switch to X position"

 

If you wanted a bind for the Preset switching on the UFC COM 1 knob

 

I would have to make 25 binds just for UFC COM 1 switch alone.

 

People don't have that many keys to bind it all

[Beazle]

a that sucks.. cause i have rotary encoders

[SGT Coyle]

We need CW, CCW commands, for all the functional encoders, assignable in the keyboard settings.

 

 

Where are we in that process?

[SGT Coyle]

Implement CW and CCW keyboard commands for the encoders!!!!!

 

For all the is holy and right with the world please!

[chardly38]

+1

[Burnie]

Implement CW and CCW keyboard commands for the encoders!!!!!

[Baldawg]

+1,000,000. Its been over a year. Seems like an easy fix but when youre pumping out a POS Mig, i guess you dont have time for things like that.

[Burnie]

I've put some more keybinds together for the harrier.. I'm using encoders that have a click too, so I've got around the lack of support by having 3 preset positions for them. for example, CCW = off, CW = max setting, Click = medium setting. It's all I need for things like RWR volume

Guys this work is really good and needed especially if you are a pit builder. I get that every update you need to redo them but do they pass the integrity check on multiplayer servers?

Such basic keybinding should be part of any module BEFORE it comes out of beta in my opinion .

[Burnie]

Yes, they pass IC. You just have to copy them into the new Default.lua if that get's updated.

After a year, I'm tired of waiting for Razbam's official implementation of interior light switches.

 

So here's some examples of INT LT keybindings, for on/off toggle switch. If the light intensity is too bright just reduce the max value from 1.0 to 0.8 or whatever you want. Let me know if there is a better way to code this (I'm a physician not programmer lol).

 

{down = int_light_commands.Knob_Instr_Lights, up = int_light_commands.Knob_Instr_Lights, cockpit_device_id=devices.LTINT, value_down=0.5, value_up= 1.0, name='Instrument Lights On',category='Shortcuts'},
{down = int_light_commands.Knob_Instr_Lights, up = int_light_commands.Knob_Instr_Lights, cockpit_device_id=devices.LTINT, value_down=0.5, value_up= 0.0, name='Instrument Lights Off',category='Shortcuts'},
{down = int_light_commands.Knob_Console_Lights, up = int_light_commands.Knob_Console_Lights,cockpit_device_id=devices.LTINT, value_down=0.5, value_up= 1.0, name='Console Lights On',category='Shortcuts'},
{down = int_light_commands.Knob_Console_Lights, up = int_light_commands.Knob_Console_Lights,cockpit_device_id=devices.LTINT, value_down=0.5, value_up= 0.0, name='Console Lights Off',category='Shortcuts'},

can be implemented in OvGME, can’t they? So you don’t have to do the dog labour each time.

After a year, I'm tired of waiting for Razbam's official implementation of interior light switches.

So here's some examples of INT LT keybindings...

I use something similar:

{down = 3635, up = 3635, cockpit_device_id = devices.LTINT, value_down = 0.7, value_up = 0, name = _('Instrument Brightness 2-Pos ON/OFF'), category = _('Internal Lights')},
{down = 3636, up = 3636, cockpit_device_id = devices.LTINT, value_down = 0.7, value_up = 0, name = _('Console Lights Brightness 2-Pos ON/OFF'), category = _('Internal Lights')},
{down = 3637, up = 3637, cockpit_device_id = devices.LTINT, value_down = 0.7, value_up = 0, name = _('Flood Lights Brightness 2-Pos ON/OFF'), category = _('Internal Lights')},

These switch the 3 lights between 70% and Off. Actually, there is no need for switching the lights Off totally. It would be smarter to set the "value_up" values to something like 30% which might be good for evening or night conditions.

 

The lack of bindings is really frustrating. I have been trying to set up CW/CCW commands for the radio channel select switches, so far not successful. Has anybody managed to create those?

I'm not going to buy anything new from RAZBAM as long as they don't complete the AV-8B.

[Maclamule81]

Far away i ask RAZBAM for the radio channel select switches. I wait again

 

Iam a rooky on lua but i try to set up cw/ccw commands for channel ufc

[SGT Coyle]

It's great to see that some of theses keybindings can be so easily implemented by the customer, but why can't they be implemented by the Developer?

 

 

It's the easiest way to fill up a change log notice. So much more appreciated than a 3D scanned pilot.

..Iam a rooky on lua but i try to set up cw/ccw commands for channel ufc

I wish you good luck! I have tried, and all I can get is switching between "M" and channel 1.
