Description

Hello,

I could not find these bindings for the F-14, but they are really convenient.
For the AP engage and the X/Y tacan mode, these bindings exist with a rotary encoder instead of a switch.

Here is the code I added in the F-14.lua file. Also, I removed this original line :
defineFixedStepTumb("PLT_TACAN_CHANNEL", 47, 3336, 2043, 2, {-1, 1}, {-1, 1}, nil, "TACAN PILOT", "PILOT TACAN Channel XY")

It works for me. Hope this helps, thanks.

Hey @Jar72ok, I tested out these controls, and while the toggle switch may work, the existing fixed step inputs do not seem to work, so as I mentioned in #1017 I think more proper control handling may be required. I'll investigate as I have time.
