MiG-15 Gun Safety Cover 2-way switch is just a toggle

[taipan303]

Been trying to get a 2-way switch working on the MiG-15 for the gun trigger safety switch.
Because if you have the stick hidden there is no way to see what the status of the safety switch is unless you have it on a real 2-way bind.

However when I bind it to a 2-way, it can get out of sync with the switch because it really works as a toggle.

Looking at the clickabledata file it says it's a 2 position
elements["pnt_196"] = default_2_position_tumb(_("Guns Safety Cover, OPEN/CLOSE"),devices.WEAPON_SYSTEM, device_commands.Button_10, 196) -- Cover

However the line added in community keybinds doesn't seem to be 2 position, I tried changing the up status to 0 but it didn't seem to help.

Any ideas from the clickabledata line on how to make this work?
I'd really like to hide the control stick again...

Thanks!

It looks like the actual programmed button by Razbam is just a toggle unfortunately.

That's an ED module, Razbam is the 19.

But no worries, I was thinking that

Would you like to try?

{down = 3010, cockpit_device_id = 4, value_down = 0.0, name = ('Gun safety cover open'), category = {('Stick'), _('custom')}},
{down = 3010, cockpit_device_id = 4, value_down = 1.0, name = ('Gun safety cover closed'), category = {('Stick'), _('custom')}},

or

{down = 3010, up = 3010, cockpit_device_id = 4, value_down = 1.0, value_up = 0.0, name = ('Gun safety cover closed'), category = {('Stick'), _('custom')}},

open and close might be the wrong way round, and it might not work at all.

The switch code, 3010, and device ID=4, come from the DCS-BIOS file.

I don't have the Mig-15 to try it.

Thanks, I think I tried these before but tried again just in case.

Unfortunately they're not discrete commands, and depend on the initial state of the switch.

E.g. if you've just done a flight and re-armed, or doing a mission that starts in the air, if you hit the switch to open the cover it will close it because it's already open.

Or if cold start, when it's closed, it will work. But if I've manually done it out of habit, then it will do the reverse.

So I'll stick with the standard toggle on a button, and just have to not leave my master arm switch unused for this one.

Thanks anyway
