FMGS Joystick config request

[SSO]

Hey,

I would really appreciate if you could add an additional conditions for each Joystick button:
- @ Press (exist)
- @ Release (new)

My Thrustmaster A10 Warthog has a tonn of two position buttons, but they are made to be programmed both via press and release respectively on the same button number.
Could this come on your list of updates in the not so far future

Thanks again for a great package.

Hi,

This is already supported? You do not have to set a specific release action, but when you select an action , when you press the button it will do ON action, and when you release an OFF action.

Excellent.

Im not quite sure how this should be implemented though: So if I was to to program such a switch (not button) to be
- Press (Gear up)
- Release (Gear down)

How would I do that?

Well this one of course is the bad example, as it is one of the few actions which are a bit different.
I will change a bit how the joystick buttons work, we'll then have more controls on the joystick buttons.

Works like a charm!

Merci beaucoup

Please note one thing though:you can select 3 "events": push/release/toggle.
Toggle does what it says: if you have a boolean variable, it will keep toggling between ON and OFF, depending on the state at the time it is sent (push will always send a push event, release a relase event).
Toggle event may not work on all actions.

yeah - I noticed that when setting it up. I think a couple of places I had to use toggle to make it work, which requires me to position these few switches correctly.

Jean Luc,

The two switches giving me trouble are the Eng1master and 2.
They only allow Push event, but not Release. As I can see there is only one event and not both On and Off.
So I have for now been obliged to program this as a toggle, but that could be improved.
