+ | ===== Flight Controls ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== input_default ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | The input_default is used for all non-discrete (floating point) inputs. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Typically these are found for light dimmers, trim inputs, etc. which are typically operated with a joystick or with a cockpit dimmer or trim-wheel, etc. but button inputs are also possible with this generic input. | ||

+ | </ | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== input_control ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | The input_control behaves much like the input_default but it allows for multiple input devices at the same time. E.g. you could be holding the yoke with your VR hands, then put them down and use your physical yoke instead. The input_control handles these cases and allows a soft transition between multiple devices or even the operation of multiple devices at the same time. | ||
+ | |||
+ | > Usually the input_control is only used for the elevator and aileron. | ||

+ | ===== Other Inputs ===== | ||

+ | ==== input_binary ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | The input_binary either outputs 1.0 (true) or 0.0 (false). With messages from the controls it can either be toggled (qualifier '' | ||

+ | ==== input_discrete ==== | ||
+ | |||

+ | |||
+ | ==== input_pair ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | This is the typical frequency input that can be found in all kinds of aircraft. The frequency input has two values at the same time, an active and a standby value. The standby value is adjustable and can be set without having an immediate impact. Then the frequency is transferred (swapped) to the active frequency and the previously active frequency is now the standby frequency. | ||
