Hi all, I have a VKB STECS as my throttle and have added its five mode switches as Modifiers on DCS. This multiplies my controls assigned by five as I can switch mode on the STECS and the new modifier is active for all buttons. The issue is that it's literally a switch you rotate - if I set mode 1 for example, as it's defined as a modifier, the button is permanently pressed. This stops me being able to even use default keyboard controls such as view modes as the mode switch being set means the modifier is always active.
I found that to fix this, I can basically modify my controls to add the same buttons but for all combos with each individual switch mode, so if any modifier is active, it can work. Like if I want the F2 external view for example, I have to add F2 + STECS Mode 1, F2 + STECS Mode 2, F2 + STECS Mode 3, etc, until mode 5. This way the F2 external view keypress works anyhow. If I just leave it as F2 alone, as it is by default, it doesn't work as any of the STECS modes are always active.
My question is - is there a way to avoid having to add all combos with all switch modes? Like maybe adding a control combo in such a way that modifiers are ignored for this control? Thank you!
