Just a suggestion here, But if you could impliment the "hold for" system for the ignition like you did with the gear selections this would be great. Id imagine most people with button boxes like me have a toggle for ignition. and with the current "Button press" System, we have to toggle up to turn the ignition on, Then press it back down and back up to turn the ignition off. So if a Hold Button for ignition could be implimented, That would be great. Thanks!
We asked for bistable switches many times (ie in Q&A thread and others). There is/was no response from ISI. But i still hope it will be possible
This is a great thing to add. I have been beating this gong over at iRacing for a year. Press-and-hold with release-to-deactivate is a necessary function to allow us to use. I'll have to go on the record and agree with CdnRacer that it will add much to the immersion. We already have it a bit with our look left and look right button options
Surprised by your reply Cdn. I have a Derek Speare button box with a toggle switch on it. It self centres. I have it mapped for ignition so if I want to turn ignition off I push up and to turn it on I again push it up. Very clever. For the starter I use a button on my Fanatec GT3 wheel.
Yeah I guess that would be a momentary toggle switch, I think that's what you call it anyway. Would be cool to have a regular two position toggle switch for ignition and the momentary for starter.
No worries. Usually if I haven't come across something (either in my own driving/testing, discussion with a dev, or in reading our dev forums), I won't know the answer and then won't answer.
Like in this situation? http://isiforums.net/f/showthread.php/1230-Controller-Limits?p=23360&viewfull=1#post23360 Can't hurt to try.
I personally asked many months ago to Max Angelo in Italian forum to support the hold keys just like in some flight simulations. He told me it was an good idea and that he had the intention to suggest it to ISI, but told also that he couldn't assure me it could bve implemented. Ant we have seen that this is the case. Just for info I suggested it not only for the ignition button, but i asked to give the possibility to define in the configuration if a key have to be seens as an hold key or not (just like actually the gear buttons) so to suit what is in the reality and the hardware that everyone have available. There are a lot of other hold switch in a race car: lights, wipers etc. If not natively supoorted, I'm wondering if some capable programmer will be able to make this available trough a plugin. Unfrotunately I'm not a "capable programmer", so I can't tell (make) it
Hasn't been bumped in a while. http://isiforums.net/f/showthread.php/92-rF2-Wishlist-Various-Sources I think I actually requested this. I also requested at least the option to have the cars spawn with the ignition off so you have to start it every time. I have an nice full metal starter button and it only gets used because I stalled the car.
