DCS Momentary Switch Doesn't Return
« on: July 17, 2018, 07:58:19 PM »
Hi -
I'm having an issue getting the three position momentary switches to work properly in DCS with VoiceAttack.
IE: In the Harrier in DCS, the armament panel has three position switches that are momentary up/down and return to center after activated.

When I activate them via a command in VA, they stay in the position Up or Down and do not return to center. The function works correctly in the result of the movement, just that the switch stays there.

Does anyone know what to fix for this is?
Thanks!

You could try increasing the hold down time, in case the release event is getting lost somehow.

Thanks for the suggestion!
Just tried several settings, up to 3 seconds, way past a mouse click lol. No change.
Also went much much shorter.
Not sure what can be done with these type of switches.

Have you tried pressing the key(combination) manually? Does the switch return to center then?

If you press the "up" key(combination) followed after a few ms by the "down" key(combination), would that return it to center, or just jump over the center position straight to the down position?

RGR that. Looks like the interface for the momentary switch is busted in the Harrier interface.

  • A Mouse Click: The switch returns to center.
    Key Press: The Switch stays in moved status.

Using the opposite movement command decrements the control and skips center.
