colubridae Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 I am unable to use a keyboard key to operate the stopwatch start/stop/reset function. it works using the cockpit push button via mouse button, but any key (or combo) bound to it does not work. is this a problem? or am i doing owt wrong please. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeCuvier Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 I could bind the command to a pushbutton on my button box, but it does nothing in the sim. Obviously a bug.

LeCuvier Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 I created a new command, "hijacking" the button in the clickable cockpit. Added this line of code to the file "default.lua": {down = 3002, cockpit_device_id = 15, value_down = 1.0, name = _('Elapsed Timer STRT/STP/RST'), category = _('Systems')}, and bound the new command "Elapsed Timer STRT/STP/RST" to a button on my button box. I don't see the button pushing in, but the stop watch starts counting, stops and resets when I push the button on my button box. Most people probably won't want to modify the "default.lua". But if you are a simpit builder it might be worth it.

colubridae Posted November 11, 2020 Author Share Posted November 11, 2020 thanks for the help. not sure i will try to amend the default file. sounds a bit above my paygrade. ps i wanted the button press after watching grim reapers vid on dead reckoning. I tried it in a a-10c ii but didn't want to take my hands off hotas at turning points. I assume that it is recognised as a bug, albeit low priority. thanks again. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
