X-Plane has a means which allows several main controls to override the configured Joystick. For example, Aileron, Elevator, Rudder.
Make sure that the type of the value for the Sim is boolean.
Currently, I set these to 1 when the XpluginEnable is called, to 0 when XpluginDisable is called.
| Override Dataref | Overrides this | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| sim/operation/override/override_joystick_roll (bool) | sim/joystick/yoke_roll_ratio | Override just roll control. Use sim/cockpit2/controls/yoke_roll_ratio |
| sim/operation/override/override_joystick_pitch (bool) | sim/joystick/yoke_pitch_ratio. | Override just roll control. Use sim/cockpit2/controls/yoke_pitch_ratio |
| sim/operation/override/override_joystick_heading (bool) | sim/joystick/yoke_heading_ratio | Override just heading (yaw) control (disables auto-coordination). Use sim/cockpit2/controls/yoke_heading_ratio |
| sim/operation/override/override_throttles | sim/cockpit2/engine/actuators/throttle_ratio_all | Override the throttles. Use sim/flightmodel/engine/ENGN_thro_use[n] (or Deprecated sim/flightmodel/engine/ENGN_thro_override) to control them on override. |
| sim/operation/override/override_gearbrake | Keyboard “G” control | Override gear and brake status Use sim/cockpit2/controls/gear_handle_down |
The throttle joystick moves the value of throttle_ratio_all, and other things. After override_throttles is set to 1, you can change throttle by change value of sim/flightmodel/engine/ENGN_thro_override
sim/joystick/yoke_roll_ratio sim/joystick/yoke_yaw_ratio
