Axis speed?

[Crow]

Hi, Bob.

I looked at the thread below 'flaps setting in IL2' by thdees who did a good job there.

So I copied the algorithm pretty close for use in SH4 subsim, for the forward telegraph speed.

Here's the script, which works fine:

script
cms.a2 = js2.a3; // js2.a3 is throttle handle
cms.b6 = [cms.a2 > 240]; // engines all stop
cms.b7 = [cms.a2 > 200]; // engines 1/3
cms.b8 = [cms.a2 > 160]; // engines 2/3
cms.b9 = [cms.a2 > 120]; // engines standard
cms.b10 = [cms.a2 > 80]; // engines full
cms.b11 = [cms.a2 > 40]; // engines flank
endScript

With the cms buttons set to output the keystrokes for the engine speeds `,1,2,3,4,5.

The script works perfectly when moving the throttle handle slowly forward or even extremely fast.

But moving the throttle handle ridiculously fast backwards can yield the outputs out of correct order.

Which is no problem because all works perfect unless really yanking, but I'm curious why moving the handle forward extremely fast doesn't mess up the output?

Hi Crow,

The buttons are read periodically, if you move fast enough you can miss one. The processing would be essentially identical either way, though. I don't know why it would be more prone to skip going backward than it would going forward. Maybe you can move it faster in that direction? The faster you move it, the more likely it is you'd miss one.

Best regards,
