HMC Keyboard Command

[padge]

cant seem to find to keyboard command for turning on the Hemix 

any help please.

It's DMS left long, but for that to work, you need to turn it on by using the switch that is located on the right side, next to the seat, below the Tacan controls iirc

well said!

[padge]

no you misunderstand the question i want to assign to a toggle switch but cant find the key command in controls.

[Vakarian]

Oh, sorry. The OP was a little ambigous. I just went through the controls and it seems like there isn't bindable option for that (HMCS Power On/Off switch), so we would need to ask ED to add it.

This has been requested several times, in several threads - but has so far been unacknowledged / added.

I follow the "help yourself" principle and created bindings myself by adding some lines to "default.lua". I have one binding for use with a 2-position on/off switch, and 2 bindings for separate ON and OFF pushbuttons. I can post if someone wants to edit the lua file.

It was not possible to create a command that toggles between ON and OFF with a single pushbutton.

yes please could you pot for a 3 position switch

[LeCuvier]

For the complete 3-position switch you need to add these 2 lines of code:
 

Quote

{down = 3001, up = 3001, cockpit_device_id = 75, value_down = 1.0,    value_up = 0.0, name = _('HMCS Power 2-Pos ON/OFF'), category = _('HMCS Power')},
{down = 3001, up = 3001, cockpit_device_id = 75, value_down = -1.0,    value_up = 0.0, name = _('HMCS Power 2-Pos BAT/OFF'), category = _('HMCS Power')},

For a 2-position ON/OFF switch you need only the first of the 2 lines.

i think in this case a common response is "correct as is". IRL a pilot would more likely declutter the HMD instead of turning in on and off while jinking. just my 2 cents or whatever the current exchange rate is in all the various currencies.

Selecting a different profile for sure - that that takes just as long (or longer) than DMSLL to disable it.....  The OP wants the toggle switch to be bind"able" and @LeCuviersquared him/her away.
