VTOL & Flaps Controls Mod

Have you ever wanted to be able to control Flaps and VTOL angle separately without having to touch the Auto Vectoring button? Well now you can! This mod adds separate keystrokes to your in-game controls menu for Flaps Up, Flaps Down, VTOL Up and VTOL Down. The keyboard commands can then be mapped to a joystick or throttle (HOTAS) if you want. Pressing the "Auto Vectoring" button is no longer required!

When you hit VTOL Up (rotate nacelles for forward flight):

1. Checks if the Aircraft is a VTOL aircraft
   
2. Checks if the engine is on
   
3. Executes action "VTOLVectoring"
   
4. Executes action "VectoringUp"

When you hit VTOL Down (rotate nacelles for hover):

1. Checks if the Aircraft is a VTOL aircraft
   
2. Checks if the engine is on
   
3. Executes action "VTOLVectoring"
   
4. Executes action "VectoringDown"

When you hit Flaps Up:

1. Checks if the Aircraft is a VTOL aircraft
   
2. If the aircraft is a VTOL aircraft, executes action "VTOLVectoringCancel"
   
3. Executes action "VectoringDown"
   
4. If the aircraft is a VTOL aircraft, executes action "VTOLVectoring"
   
5. If the aircraft is not a VTOL aircraft, it simply executes "flapsUp" action.

When you hit Flaps Down:

1. Checks if the Aircraft is a VTOL aircraft
   
2. If the aircraft is a VTOL aircraft, executes action "VTOLVectoringCancel"
   
3. Executes action "VectoringUp"
   
4. If the aircraft is a VTOL aircraft, executes action "VTOLVectoring"
   
5. If the aircraft is not a VTOL aircraft, it simply executes "flapsDown" action.

So basically, if you are flying a VTOL aircraft, there's no reason to ever turn VTOL Vectoring on or off (unless you're in the F35 - see below). If the engines are facing forward and you turn off VTOL Vectoring, there's no change to the aircraft.

F35:
The only reason to turn off VTOL Vectoring is if you are flying the F35B. Doing so closes the fan shroud opening and other flight surfaces for forward flight.

1. Open your Controls Menu
   
2. Click on Configure Addons
   
3. Select "VTOL/FLAPS Controls Mod"
   
4. Assign the keys
   
   • You MUST then unmap the Vanilla FLAPS UP and FLAPS DOWN controls
     
   • Keep "Auto Vectoring" mapped if you plan to use the F35 from C.U.P. so you can close the flight surfaces
5. When you want to lower or raise flaps, hit those keys. When you want to raise or lower the VTOL angle, hit those keys.
   
   • You no longer have to hit Auto Vectoring On/Off. This button is now pressed automatically, effectively.
     
   • Regular (non-VTOL) planes function normally
     
   • For VTOL angle to function, aircraft engine must be ON

• VTOL and FLAPS controls separated into 4 separate keypresses so you can map to separate controls on your HOTAS using your HOTAS software
  
• Very small addon (0.1 MB)
  
• customizable controls via Configure Addons menu (CBA)
  
• NEW: All aircraft are now supported (including addon aircraft) (thanks jonpas)
  
• NEW: Now works when remote controlling aircraft when playing as Zeus (thanks jonpas)

• NEW: All aircraft

• Once BI implements a command to measure VTOL angle percentage, I can probably eliminate the need for the Auto Vectoring button when using the F35.

Now included with download.

jonpas for coming up with the code to check if an airfraft is VTOL and enabling VTOL/Flaps control over vehicles being remote controlled (like in Zeus)
BI for updating the Biki
The Arma community for helping me learn how to code
