Flap Control Lever Switch/Axis

Flap Control Lever 'Axis' Missing?
-Device: Mech_Interface

• Arg: 16
• Command_def: 3001 or 3002?
  In interface, "Flap Control Lever" is setup as a toggle switch. In profile, needs a linear potentiometer/ axis.

When there is a -- at the start of the line, it is a comment (in Lua). In a situation such as this, it would seem to indicate that the devs have had several stabs at try to implement the element. This is their current implementation

Which claims to be a switch (even though it is using a command code with the word axis in it). I'll have another look the flap_switch function though.

Just a bit of background - If you look in Clickable_defs.lua, you find that the flap_switch is defined thusly

function flap_switch(hint_,device_,command_, arg_)
	return  {
				class			= {class_type.**LEV**},
				hint			= hint_,
				device			= device_,
				arg             = {arg_},
				action			= {command_},
				arg_value		= {1.0},
				gain            = {0.05},
				arg_lim			= {{0, 1}},
            	use_OBB			= true,
				updatable		= true,
				cycle           = false,
				-- sound			= {{SOUND_SW_TOGGLE1}, {SOUND_SW_TOGGLE1}},
				sound           = {{SOUND_NONE}},
				side			= {{BOX_SIDE_Y_top},{BOX_SIDE_Y_bottom}}
			}
end

The key thing is the class which is class_type.LEV which is a lever, which in Helios equates to an axis.

I think that the issue for the devs was that there is a lock tab on the Flaps control which they were not able to integrate at the time they were working on it.

Converted to an Axis.
