POLARIS1

sobe, It's just redefining the modifier. But...make sure you free your intended modifier from its current assignment and replace the current shifted commands with your new modifier. My reasoning for choosing the lever comes from the A-10C assignments of the joystick. The lever has no role and it's just a pinky away which makes it very easy to use. For TrackIR I use a scripted Hotkey which assigns Lever + DMS short to center and long for pause. If you know how to use Hotkey I can give you my script with the TrackIR profile that works with it and thus every time, before you start the sim (or any software or sim that you're gonna use TrackIR with), you just start the Hotkey script and you're done. More than that...I got tired from the hassle of opening TrackIR+TeamSpeak+my script+DCS and closing them one by one every time I just wanted to fly so I made a cute little script that prepares everything and gets me inside DCS with one icon's double click. Thank you for your appreciation!

Friedric, You're more than welcome ! And...thank you for finding out about the missing custom controls. As for where to put each file...it's explained in the attached read me file. As for the custom controls...I uploaded a new file with all included. Enjoy :) sobe, You can use whatever button you wish as a modifier. My files are my own preferences and they are meant to ease the way in for new comers. Nothing more and nothing else. My only advice is fly some before you start changing things, for the simple reason that it takes time to understand what you really need and the best way to implement it. Enjoy :)

And...another new customer and a proud owner of unit number 0370. As for being a satisfied customer...please define satisfied. Today's markets are defined by the culture of the masses. A culture of mediocre products made by mediocre persons at too high prices in order to get as much money as possible from as many persons as possible. But, there's sometimes that glimpse, that exception, that almost looks like a magic product. A combination of a superbly engineered product with the qualities of an unsurpassed precision and comfort. But...it's not enough and the product is made to look simply beautiful. Add to that an unsurpassed customer service consisting of ease of communication, loads of personal advices and unbelievable honesty and you get the magical combination. For those who know Milan and have the MFG pedals what I just wrote down is of no surprise. As for others who are still on the fence...you can stop looking any further. It's that simple and it is worth every single penny! Still debating? Why? Can't you see my HUGE smile? In short...Thank you Milan !

Simply beautiful ! Thank you and well done !!!

Can I get on the short list as well ? ;) Nice work so far! As for the black...as a personal preference I rather like the original weathered color.

I utilize the HOTAS to the full capacity in order to use the keyboard as less as possible, In order to do that I have two layers for many buttons, a regular primary layer and a secondary shifted layer (accessed through the Lever). In order to remove a shifted layer (those you see colored red) you need to delete that assignment completely from that HOTAS switch. Choose with the mouse the red lettering (left click) > choose clear from the bottom. Hope it helps.

Aviators, There's a read me file attached that explains exactly what to do... In short...I use the Joystick's lever as a shift key and you have to assign it as such in the controllers' option settings of each module.

You're welcome :) As it is I don't have the modules you requested. Enjoy :)

While DSR makes wonders regarding visibility...using it makes words so tiny they're essentially unreadable...

Thanks mate.

David, Why did you change the sounds? They can't be together with Diveplane's...

Well done chaps, congrats and Merry Christmas :)

Amazing !

Thumbs up for version 5.63 as well ! In my opinion it's the best one yet...and...it's utterly amazing. Well Done Mustang !!!

There is quite a challenge in this community in respect to prior knowledge and inflight implementation. I have read tons of material regarding the Hog, F-15, Mustang and I can activate their avionics and other systems quite well. But...when I flew with a great bunch of persons from this community in a simple mission I was blown away by the amount of knowledge I don't have regarding flight, flight regulations, flight basics, flight navigation..etc. It became apparent that it's up to me to catch up and learn all that. Now...I can play catch up as much as I want and still stay behind all the time...or...I can work hard, study hard, practice hard and become at least as good as others here. I know that nothing can replace the butt feeling one has during flight, the enormity of being responsible for the lives of others or for a pretty expensive bird...and yet...I am willing to fly a flamingo (wether it be a 172 or whatever) if that shall make me a better DCS pilot. I know how good I am and how better I can be once I walk the whole nine yards. I'm sure that there are many others here who are just like me. We don't need much...just one or two first stage planes, one or two medium stage plane and...well...we have the Hawk for the advanced stage. I'm sure courses, curriculums, instructors and so on shall come along. We have the best planes and simulator environment. I hope in the future others won't need to go elsewhere (like FSX) for the basics... What I am grateful for is your input as your point of you as a pilot and instructor. I think there can be a solution in between so it won't hold back on seasoned pilots or other plane's development too much. But...won't you mind having more and better DCS pilots in the community and up there in the Georgian skies?

We seem to disagree: 1. I flew the 172 for 4 months in which I learnt flight basics including aerodynamics, circuits, CVFR and proper civilian ATC communications. 2. I'm training with the T-6A for mastering IFR (really knowing your flight instruments, usage of Nav aids and atmosphere's influence on flight), BFM and basic AF principles. If one wants to be a GOOD pilot one has to know how to walk before one dances. If one wants to fly the F-15C or A-10C and be victorious one needs to know, in his guts, by heart, the basics of aerodynamics, the rules of maintaining a certain course, how to navigate by eyesight, how to relate to to the surroundings, how to utilize energy, how to relate to each aircraft charts... But...I'm not inventing anything here: These principles are ETCHED within all air forces curriculum. Since DCS is as high fidelity as it goes one needs to master the basics in order to master one's aircraft of choice. Am I a better DCS pilot after mastering CVFR while flying the 172? Yes. So will be most. The same goes for the next steps with the T-6A. As for learning IFR in the DCS environment...there are actually airways in DCS: VORs are present and even with the morse code, there are real ATIS charts for the area and it's quite easy to find IFR plates for some of the airports. The T-6A has good manuals for teaching young pilots how to become better, as written by the USN and USAF. As for your last comment...I fail to understand its relevance. By the way...the good add-ons for MSFS cost a hefty sum (as I'm sure you know ;) ). It's not about anything but DCS and mastering the art of military aviation. Both the 172 and T-6A are well documented and are pretty simple. It wouldn't take much to make them. We, as a community, shall benefit from having more and better aviators. But hell, what do I know? It's just my personal opinion.

I see a lot of smilies here...but...here is the thing... Since I am lacking in the basics of the art of flying (I know how to operate the Hog's CDU, search and lock with the F-15's radar and land the Stang on grass and yet,,,I had absolutely no idea what the hell the term circuits mean, what's the meaning of straight and level, how to navigate from one spot to another, looked at airport plates like twisted napkins and had absolutely no idea what the hell IFR stands for and so on)...I had to go to another sim to learn it. So...I flew the 172 for something like 4 months and now I'm training with the T-6A Texan II. And why all that...so I can be much better here, in DCS. Isn't it pity? The transition can be simple: 172 > T-6A > Hawk > choose your forte...wether it be Attack, Intercept, WWII, Choppers So...yes! Please! Please give us the basic planes every single real pilot uses to become an ace combat pilot (or at least an adequate one lol). Some of us are really good at flying but really lack the basics or knowledge quite a few have here...

Check under the Input section...I made a post there with several profiles, including the SU-25T... It's basically just a plug and play :)

Well... Thank You mate !!! Took your advice and fiddled with those two posts until I came up with the solution: (Lever+DMS down on TM WH) 2Joy13:: ; y Joy x , y= controller ID number in windows, x= joy button number KeyWait, 2Joy13 ; Wait for 2Joy13 to be released x := A_TimeSinceThisHotkey ; Just assigning x here, for shorter "if's" GetKeystate, Button4status, 2Joy4 if (Button4status = "D") { ; If 2Joy13 and 2Joy4 is pressed, centre or pause TrackIR if (x < 500) ; If hotkey was held for less than 0.50 seconds, 500 ms Send {F15} ; Send the key F15 else if (x > 500) ; If hotkey was held for more than 0.50 seconds, 500 ms Send {F16} ; Send the key F16 return } return As you can see the major change is to line 5. In short...I now have a joystick controlled centering and pause :music_whistling: So...thank you for this thread, tips and help!

I know it's an oldy post...but...it seems like it's the only thread I found that has a solution to center the TrackIR software through the Warthog joystick, without using Target. Only two questions for someone who has ZERO knowledge at scripting and can barely understand the lingo used in this thread lol: 1. Does the first post's attached file work with TrackIR version 5.2.2? 2. Can somene edit the script so I can use a modifier with another button...eg a combo of two joystick buttons (I use the paddle joystick4 as a modifier with the joystick13 button)?

A request if I may... You are making awesome add ons...but...I think it might be easier to see, download or update them if they are all kept neatly together, in the same paragraph in the first post. Or each under the relevant picture in the first post. And...thank you for your hard work!

There seems to be problems with: 1. The sun reflection continues on the other side of the carrier without any disturbance or carrier shadow. 2. Reflection's light upon the sea and upon the carrier are too different. 3. Where is the sun? With such a reflection I would expect the sun to be quite low. But...I suspect these problems are on the DCS side.

NP lol...we all were there once ;) The instructions are to add a modifier (left) and not a switch (right). Click left "ADD">select Device name Joystick>Pull joystick Lever (not pinky...the metal just beyond it)>watch it being selected in the middle small slot>Name it in the last slot "Lever"> click the OK button...you're done.

A request if I may Mustang...in some updates there's a recurrence of hazy horizon. When flying straight and level it's about impossible to maintain altitude because there's no good reference...

Well Done !!!
