Toggle Switch Commands

[LukeFF]

In comparison to Great Battles, Korea. IL-2 Series features a vast number of toggle switch commands, so you no longer have to use one button to cycle through a function's various options. Some of these are carryovers from GB, yes, but many of them are new.

Thanks for that, it's the schnizzle for sure for anyone with a home built pit slapped together.

For the new guys as you use these find the original single commands under the other options of categories and delete their key binds, it'll keep you from having accidents in the most inappropriate time.

I'll have to get out my custom locked toggle box and set all these up.

I have a Honeycomb Bravo Throttle Quadrant (BTQ).  It has eight toggle switches.  What I mean by that is the switches are like the common household light switch.  Each switch has an 'off' position and an 'on' position.  I can't use that in most combat flight sims as they don't seem set up for that kind of switch.  MS Flight Sim is set up to use that kind of switch. 

 

Is IL2-Korea set up to use that kind of switch?

Great question I have one of these as well.

No, the toggle must have an active DX button on each end of the switch, unfortunately on and off states aren't recognized.  They'll only work with toggle actions, the simple ones like gear up and down toggle.  Kind of funky but those will work with a double tap treating them like a button that holds.

The toggle commands Korea has require a distinct two DXButton type output switch.

I noticed that IL2 Korea as a section of commands under title of TOGGLE.  Could I use the BTQ eight 'toggle' switches for those key assignments.  I noticed in MS Flight Simulator 2020 that you can set such switches as 'Toggle' meaning they continue to give input just like a home light switch or you can set them as 'Set' which means one position is ON and the other OFF and they do not continue to give input.

I don't see a similar thread (if there is, please merge it). We don't have all the keybindings working in the Toggle section / Key mapping. We'd like to request that this list be expanded to include all system buttons. This will make configuration for "home cockpits" easier. For example;

• RWR / TWS power (no on and off)

I did some experimenting by setting some values under TOGGLE to switches that look similar to the house hold light switches on my Honeycomb Bravo Throttle Quadrant (BTQ).    I set 'Engine: start sequence' to b33 and 'Engine: stop sequence' to b34.  And 'Landing lights: on' to b43 and Landing lights: off' to button b44.  The result worked well with out any odd behavior.  But for the landing lights to work, the engine had to be running in the first place.   I also found that even thought I had custom action maps made for each plane (I was sure to select the custom map) that the values that showed up when going to 'Flight Manual' only showed what I had set up for the 'general' action map.   

The upshot is that the toggle assignments work perfectly fine with my switches on the Honeycomb Bravo Throttle Quadrant (BTQ).

Yes it is. I have the Bravo as well and I have configured these switches perfectly. I used to use joystick gremlin on BOS and bind them to keyboard commands. not needed here. even the landing gear, which is not on the toggle page, works as well. It will recognize both positions of the toggle on the bravo. It works exactly how you want with no double trigger needed.

Great to hear! This is exactly what I wanted to know. Now I just need to finish my rig so I can mount the new Bravo Throttle...

I do some sim racing as well, I've been using my Aiologs Sequential shifter as my landing gear up and down lever and it provides a good "clunk" when I raise and lower the gear. Easy to reach and grab in VR as well with the headset on.

you mentioned mounting the bravo, heres a little cheap idea I used for my bravo throttle. A snare drum stand. I am a drummer and had a spare so I tried giving it a go and a traditional snare stand holds the bravo and can move up and down or tilt to your preference. Here is a pic of the setup. I tilt it so the back of the top lip is pushed against the desk and just slide the legs a little forward to lock it in place. sturdy and I can angle it for better throttle angles. The handles are a mix of handles I bought from a guy who makes them on etsy.
